Re your #137;
Good points all, but if these tapes were obtained in violation of some law (assuming that the State could prove that they were in violation) would they then be admissible as evidence in the course of prosecution against ACORN?
Rush L. mentioned this problem the day after it broke, while Glen and Judge Napalitano were gleefully talking about all the jail time that the ACORN gang was going to get.
I hope I’m wrong, but felt at the time that Glen and the Judge might be getting prematurely optimistic about this, and predicted that the young couple would face retaliation from the left, not the least of which would be abuse of the criminal INjustice system.
I also hope I’m being paranoid here, but I am expecting the same or similar wrath of the dragon to burst forth upon them as it did upon former Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean, who were dragged out of bed at gunpoint in the wee hours of the morning in front of their families by a goon squad of DHS Gestapo, and spent a particularly unpleasant term of solitary confinement after one of them was nearly beaten to death (and would have been had not other inmates saved him). All the Guards apparently decided to go on break at the same time just before the attack - how convenient!
Bush, or whoever he was taking his orders from at the time, wanted to make an example of a couple of dedicated BP Agents who took their job just a little “too seriously”.
If these brave young Patriots are allowed to be locked up in a MD prison, I predict that they will be savagely beaten and gang raped at least once, and if they come out alive with a shred of sanity left intact, it will be a miracle.
Are the Prison Guards in MD SEIU Members? Wouldn’t that be another fat coincidence?
ACORN and their very powerful Gangster sycophants (like the organized Criminal Syndicate currently posing as our legitimate Constitutional “Government”) want to make an “Example” of these two, and if Angels and a lot of good Americans don’t intervene, they probably will.
And I can guaren-damn-tee you, it won’t be pretty!
I think previously proffered advice for them to go into hiding would be well accepted, as the brutality will start with the nocturnal visit from the black-suited heavily armed DHS SWAT Team. Then it will probably be all downhill from there.
Those with more courage than sense rush in where Angels and “real” Journalists fear to tread... for darned good reason!
They have poked the Dragon in his big fat raunchy A$$ and pi$$ed him off pretty well; Those who do that sort of thing are very liable to get burned... torn asunder, and/or eaten alive.
They may not have had any idea of what they were getting themselves into... but they are about to find out...
...The hard way.
These two brave, beautiful kids could well become martyrs to the cause of American Liberty.
They wouldn’t be the first, and they won’t likely be the last.
But it would sure be a flaming pity.
Yes they would be admissible. If the cops had obtained the tapes illegally they would not be admissible. The fact that these people obtained them illegally is irrelevant to the potential prosecution.
afterall, Fox news and Glenn Beck would be in trouble as well...
