Exclusive: ACORN Illegally Operating in Maryland

I guess none of that matters. /S

They probably fixed that problem; typically corporations that are not in good standing can't use the courts until they get up to date with their filings.

Discovery will be interesting, but how the case is framed may also matter. The defendants may also be able to move to federal court under diversity jurisdiction....

If they were illegally operating in Maryland, then they would have no standing in Maryland (as a fictitious entity) to bring a lawsuit.

They may know that and they may know that their lawsuit is going to get tossed out on a demur, but they are filing it in order to get the publicity that they are "mad as hell" and they're not going to take it any more.

If the suit gets tossed because ACORN has no standing to sue, then Giles and O'Keefe would not be able to engage in discovery. ACORN could claim that their lawsuit had merit, but that it was thrown out on a "technicality" thus saving face.
