Not a lawyer but isn't there something about having to have "clean hands" ?

Seem's to me 60 Minutes stopped doing that undercover camera stuff, but I'm not sure WHY they stopped. Possibly because of law suit implications?

Yes. A bunch of stuff.

Yes, but it is a defensive concept. Hard to say someone else is dirty when you have unclean hands.

Kind of funny when you have this
Quote:
ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis, who joined Harshbarger on the conference call, said the organization was "very, very serious" about the review and vowed to "set things straight" following the release of five hidden-camera videos.
"We were just as shocked and horrified as the American public was," Lewis told reporters of the conduct seen on the videotapes. "I will not tolerate such behavior. It is incumbent upon me and my board to set things straight."
|
and this in the same article
Quote:
|
But ACORN says no tax returns were actually prepared at the Baltimore office, and that the audio portion of the video recorded there was obtained illegally, since Maryland requires two-party consent for sound recordings. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit cites "extreme emotional distress" on behalf of two workers who were fired after the video was posted online.
|
So you are Setting things strait in the organization by suing on behalf of the people who got you into the bind? Nice logical thinking there.

With all the info that ACORN will have to give up in discovery if they go forward with the lawsuit,it sure seems like the WH and loads of DIMS would be beating on them to drop this suit. |

There will hopefully be a defense fund setup for the plaintifs. Discovery of this magnitude will be expensive and worth every dime.
Donate and donate often.
BTW, how does ACORN pay for THEIR legal services? With OUR tax dollars? That cannot be correct.

(Las Vegas Review-Journal) The Senate majority leader says tracking abuse by political allies could be "distracting" ...
Yes, ACORN has friends in high places -- friends who are still stonewalling attempts to trace where all that tax money went ... perhaps because they know who still has cookie crumbs all over their hands.
It didn't start with those undercover videos made by a couple of independent filmmakers posing as a prostitute and her pimp, visiting various ACORN offices around the country and getting helpful advice on how to hide their income and "qualify" for a tax-subsidized mortgage to set up a house of ill repute, declaring three of their dozen (albeit imaginary) underage illegal immigrant prostitutes as "dependents."
That was just a final shoe dropping loudly enough that the problem could no longer be ignored.
Here in Clark County, Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said last year he saw "rampant fraud in the 2,000 to 3,000 registrations ACORN turns in every week," with some 48 percent of those forms being "clearly fraudulent."
-- "Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is refusing to hold a Senate hearing on ACORN's activities," the National Republican Senatorial Committee complained Wednesday.

I heard some news today that ACORN has been found to be donating TAX dollars for political goals. And discovery has not even started yet. If they were smart (and they are not) they will withdraw the lawsuit. I hope they stay stupid.

ACORN Given MORE Money
Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.
