Great, now ACORN is using our tax dollars to sue the people who exposed them for the criminals that they are.

I'd donate to the legal fund of the filmmakers.

Note to corrupt businesses:

Next time 60 minutes finds rats in your fried chicken, or under age prostitutes in your brothel, SUE THE FILM MAKERS!

They’ve been saying they’re going to sue but haven’t gotten around to it.

Dicovery shoot be a hoot....

If ACORN were an honest organisation they should thank the bloggers for pointing out these indefensible actions of their people.

The suits prove they are not an honest organisation.

Not that we needed any more proof.

” “As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, “

ACORN has, in effect, offered to sign a ‘Consent Decree’ (”We didn’t do it, and we won’t do it any more”)...

What’s going to be interesting is to see which, if any, RINOs find this acceptable....

Wait until they release the tapes showing the acorns advising the hooker how to do election fraud.

ACORN: It's not our fault we hire crooked, morally corrupt people we can easily throw under the bus!

Pul-leeeeze!

The funniest part of the entire story is that the one place where they could probably sue succesfully, Baltimore, is a place they CAN'T sue because of their own ineptness. They let their charter lapse! LOL. Really, you couldn't make stuff like this up.

ACORN is also planning to sue the bloggers for illegally recording ACORN employees without their knowledge, California ACORN officials said.

Which presents a problem for both sides, as the Crapafornia legal system, crooked judges, courts and prosecutors are the most Marxist and biased in the nation.

The bloggers case rests with the jury, the only protection they might have, other than the huge publicity nightmare for Acorn and DemoRats if the news of the persecution can be forced into the Rat MSM.

Whistleblowers reporting fraud by recipients of taxpayer largesse getting sued by the fraudsters. Yaeh, that makes sense.

[mewzilla]

And now that I think about it: They have to retrain folks to not break the law?!

Law-breaking is the default position, eh..?

[shredderman]

Talk about closing the barn door AFTER the horses got out.....sheesh!

[SERKIT]

What federal whistle-blower laws might be used in the defense of the videographers? Since ACORN is funded by the feds, and they were giving advice on government regulation and tax advice, are they agents of the federal government?

[old curmudgeon]

Be cool.

In a civil suit, there is this double edged sword known as “discovery”.

Under the rules of discovery, there are very few things considered to be private and out of bounds.

The process is available to and will be used by both sides.

So can you imagine ACORN putting themselves in the position of being forced by the court under the rules of discovery to open their records on all things that relate to the case?

Not everything found during the process is allowable in court, but the lawyers then use this information to make their taking of depositions more effective. The person being deposed is sworn in under the penalty of perjury, so a lot of the information found under discovery ends up documented and sworn to.

This would not be a happy road for ACORN.

They are criminal, but they are not crazy.

Maybe they can get Van Jones to do the internal review. My guess the internal audit will include use of the shredder.
