But it’s the employees who are named as the plaintiffs - not ACORN. I hope O’Keefe and Giles know what they’re doing.
The story said that ACORN filed the suit on behalf of their employees. As an unlicensed entity ACORN cannot file a suit on their own behalf or on behalf of their employees. The employees can't be "named" as plaintiffs in a derivative lawsuit filed by ACORN, these people would need to file their own independent lawsuit.
If they do, then we will need to start up a defense fund for Giles and O'Keefe.
