Sure they can claim it, but we must understand that the Dems have been loading the benches with lefties for years.
An you can bet that AG Holder will be interested in the DOJ joining the case. They want ACORN to get that 8.6 billion.
Watch the bullies pile on.This will get very interesting.

If Michael Moore and Sacha Baron Cohen are allowed to do this sort of thing, why can’t these people? Or is it their choice of targets?
To: Free ThinkerNY
Remove it to Federal court, quick, then move to send it to a jurisdiction where the Defendants are from, then file 1st Amendment and RICO charges.

"If Michael Moore and Sacha Baron Cohen are allowed to do this sort of thing, why cant these people?" Two reasons: Maryland is one of the only states in the union that has such a law against the interception and recording of in-person conversations, without two-party consent. Second, although I'm not sure about Moore's "documentaries", Cohen secures release statements from everyone he films. Which is why all the suits that were filed against him for Borat (I believe there were dozens and dozens), were all dismissed with prejudice. In other words, Borat was deceptive about why he was recording his targets, but he wasn't deceptive that he was recording his targets.

How predictable. Instead of fixing the problem they sue the people that uncovered the problem

ACORN needs to be 'squashed' under RICO.

I wonder if this is just a move to get a court order to cease and desist (not sure if that is right term) releasing new tapes.
To: Grunthor
Nothing will be learned in discovery that will damage ACORN. What you’re hoping for has nothing to do with the issue of the filmakers violating the Marylyand statute on recording without the permission of those being recorded.

for secretly taping the organizations employees at its Baltimore office. But not for slander.

You cannot go on a fishing trip. The questions must be relevant to the issue at hand. So, you may, in fact, refuse to answer questions. You are not obliged to answer irrelevant questions.

Time to release more tapes. That may be what this is all about. They can get an always friendly liberal judge to place an injunction on them releasing any more tapes. In any other state I would say that was a stretch. But around MD there may be an issue.

We need a major funding organization to concentrate the resources of the right, and burn discovery right back through George Soros to The White House.
