That was his point.
Kidding! Kidding!
they’re going to sue but haven’t gotten around to it
That’s because the albino twins are hustling the dough out of the USA so fast they ain’t got time for no stinkin lawsuits.
I hope they do...Things will come out about ACORN that will sink them.
I doubt that this supposedly 501C corporation has a leg to stand on with regards to bring suit against O’Keefe and Giles. I think any reasonable judge would throw this out of court.
Bring it on you overweight Aunt Jemima! We can’t wait to open up your books and files in DISCOVERY you stupid bastard!
I think your experience is the norm...but it doesn’t always work that way.
My hubby, a long time corporate lawyer, was called to FEDERAL jury duty. Not only did he end up on the jury for a FIVE WEEK TRIAL!!, he knew the lawyers on BOTH sides...and he ended up being the foreman of the jury.
Unwinnable. Does not apply to a public/semi-public area, i.e.; no 'expectation of privacy'. Such a lawsuit would be dismissed before it was even fully introduced in court.
Hey..where’s the picture of Hannah?
She could make a fortune now with a hot calendar..nothing really bad,,but just some great photo’s.
Outstanding observation.
How many minutes of video tape did it take to make Denny’s grovel at Jesse Jackson’s feet?
Are they using the video tape to train their workers?
You mean they toss them under the bus?
Wonder where they learned that?
I have a question for any lawyers or any students of the law who have real knowledge and experience in these matters.
Everyone keeps saying ACORN will never sue because they would be afraid of what could be exposed during “discovery”.
But if all they are suing for is being “illegally taped” would they have to expose anything that doesn’t pertain to whether they knew they were being taped or not? In other words, if they do not claim they are being falsely acccused of anything, would evidence of their various corrupt activities even be relevant to the lawsuit? Wouldn’t the only thing the defendants have a right to “discover” is whether ACORN was informed that they were being taped?
Again, if ACORN sues for slander or defamation I could see how evidence of their wrongdoings would be relevant. But if they are only suing for being illegally audio recorded without their knowledge, which is against Maryland law, would they have any reason to fear “discovery”?
Me too. I’ve been called 4 times in the last 5 years nd each time as a white married woman I am dismissed. I guess if you want to serve you can’t open your mouth and let them see that you can think for yourself. The group they chose to serve looked like they were lucky that they were able to dress themselves that morning!
Any lawyers out there?
