It might be time for Breitbart to drop another video.

Those so-called “eavesdropping” laws are misguided as hell. If it’s your conversation, recording it in any form isn’t eavesdropping. Absent a confidentiality agreement, you have a right to “rebroadcast” any conversation to which you are privy. These laws just take away a means of memorializing an otherwise voluntary conversation. I’d like to see these laws struck down.

Nasty. The kids will be fine though. Watch decent Christians pay whatever (if any) costs they have, and bring more great publicity to how ugly obamacorn are.

Be good to get some out before any court injunction. Or transfer rights to the videos to someone who is not within the jurisdiction of the court.

I’m more interested in who the lawyers are representing ACORN are and how they are compensated(if it’s the normal split, or a flat fee)

Hope it’s a split, and that they lose big. If it’s a flat fee, that is taxpayer dollars going toward the costs.

Waiting to see how this is any different from the “To Catch a Predator” shows, or the undercover exposes done on the ten o’ clock news about dirty dining locations, the illegal sex trafficing and prostitution, and other investigative undercover journalism.

Sick to death of these folks thinking they can hide from honest questions and their candid answers. Discovery ought to be a hoot!

I suspect it won’t be long. He’s just waiting for the right time.

ACORN and Planned Parenthood, two vile organizations pushing abortion. These kids are brave.

Hopefully the Catholic Catholic Council of Bishops will step forward and fund their defense. After all the Bishops say they really are against abortion. I am sure that after the Millions the Bishops have given ACORN over the years, the Bishops will do the right thing.

The lawsuit alleges that the pair violated Maryland's recording law, which requires consent from both parties,

The actual laws makes it unlawful to intercept electronic communications, how everyone is interpreting that as recording your own conversations is beyond me. This is a law to cover third-party wiretapping or communications over the internet.

The law itself says interception of electronic communications, so it makes no sense they are applying it to this case. That law makes sense, since you don't want people wiretapping or intercepting your computer communications. But twisting it to make this illegal makes no sense. The way they are twisting it makes all electronic surveillance illegal.

"One wonders if the MSM reporters with egg on their faces realize the irony: the 25-year-old, self-described 'skinny nerd' with scarce resources has outclassed deep pocketed media titans," wrote Mowbray. "Public trust in the mainstream is at an all-time low. Its reaction to the ACORN revelations and ham-handed attacks on O'Keefe will only accelerate the downward spiral."

The New York Times missed the story because they were all out looking for a Republican jaywalking. The Washinton Post missed the story because they were too busy sucking up to advertisers...

I would love to see these issues entered into a permanent record in court transcripts, but the “media” will just ignore it anyway...

The conversation took place in an open office; the door was not closed, so anyone could walk in and listen, anyone outside the room also could have heard the conversation. Nothing private about the setting.

Oh, and the discovery process will be fun, fun, fun for the defendants' lawyers. I think the lawyers should request every document they can imagine from ACORN; not to mention depose every employee, from the janitor to the administrative personnel, and all the officers of ACORN's national team.

I think ACORN will rue the day they filed against these patriots.

The recording took place in a public building in a public setting. Other ACORN employees are seen walking around - people come in and out of the “organization”... ACORN is a criminal organization - but O’Keefe’s NOT a lawman - and can’t be held to that standard.
