IANAL, but IMO there is a very narrow, the narrowest possible window where the plaintiffs (ACORN et al) might prevail. No doubt some pile of attorneys will take their money. But I truly doubt there is a sustainable expectation of privacy in a walk-in storefront situation, and this was obviously not a priveleged consult; eg, not attorney-client. ACORN might claim that this expose has damaged their ability to perform their mission, but then, ACORN is a non-profit, correct? So how would one measure the damages.
Juicy. Bring on the lawsuits, I say.
Question for the legal scholars:
Can ACORN be sued by the citizens of the state in which they operate?
