#1 Too late.

#2 Since they exposed ACORN as an adjunct to organized violent crime (keeping children as sex slaves is an inherently violent act!), I fear their lives would be in danger even if they were "only" arrested for a couple of hours, prior to arraignment.

Truly bad people have been hurt by their sting and they might wish to make an example.

Let's hope someone's got their back always!

#3 I file the whole thing under corruption. Especially this AG.

#4 So they are going to go after the video takers and not do anything about ACORN.

So what is the definition of corruption again?

This is Maryland, Frank. I do hope you're right, though.

#7 Doublethink is a word described in the fictional language of Newspeak and the act of simultaneously accepting as correct two mutually contradictory beliefs. It is related to, but distinct from, hypocrisy and neutrality.

#8 Oh..just wait till the 'accused' points out the 'journalistic' basis of the act and drags every television and print media into the mix.

#9 "We have received inquiries from citizens and the media" Any of them live near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I really do hope they do prosecute the people making the films. Gives the politicans another grenade to throw at the other side. Billboards all over with young exploited girls: "Rep/Senator so and so ACORN and Acorn supports CHILD prostitution." Ya just know there are quotes out there frm all of them. Hard ball? Dirty pool? You betch ya. Politics is a blood sport so be prepared to get dirty.

#10 We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State's Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation...

So now the media wants the government to prosecute whistleblowers who have uncover pervasive corruption in a publicly funded agency. How delightfully Kafkaesque.

#11 So now the media wants the government to prosecute whistleblowers...

I took that to mean that they wanted to know whether the AG's office was going to prosecute ACORN.

You know, when I was a kid, about half the episodes on 60 Minutes involved surreptitious filming. And it was a lot harder to be surreptitious back then.

#12 I am pretty sure I read this law covers taping a telephone conversation without the permission of both parties. The law has noting to do with audio that is part of video recording.

Shows the State's Attorney has sub average IQ. I can establish complete picture the the State's Attorney just from that.

#13 But McDermitt (D-WA) passing on an illegally taped cell phone conversation was perfectly ok...
