Wow, $5,000 for trying to rig an election! When the Nixon campaign pulled dirty tricks, every Democrat in America freaked out! Shun ACORN and any politician they support! That’s the best punishment.
There's one upside to this. It's a conviction. Next time -- the very next time -- the ACORNholers get convicted of a similar crime (and I'm sure you've no doubt that they will be convicted of something similar in the near future), RICO comes into play. By existing law, two convictions on **similar** offenses constitutes the "pattern of behavior" required to invoke the RICO statutes.
Once the uber-corrupt Holder is gone, the new AG should have an absolute field day with this: triple civil damages, aggravating factors in criminal cases, and the list goes on and on.
