#1 Won't make it to the courthouse steps. Another "all wow, no sham" production.

#5 Interesting question of standing - how does ACORN have it if they fired the two employees in the tape? I'd love to see their argument on that.

Breitbart's in the clear, according to the Supremes (no, I don't remember the case name off the top of my head).

IANAL (Gott sei Dank!).

#6 Last I heard, acorn claimed those agents wee fired, but they're still at work, so it's a straight lie.

#7 redneck

maybe the Acorn folks were fired from their jobs are office director and assistant office director and then hired to be office manager and assistant office manager (or some similar change)

that change would certainly have caused a huge amount of emotional distress

#8 Needless point to make in this forum, but it all once again points to the phueching overarching problem, and that would be LAWYERS!

#9 Insty, Ann Althouse and some other on-line lawyer types are crediting Breitbart with egging ACORN to sue so he can go hog-wild with discovery.

#10 It'll be the icing in the cake if someone found an actual underage brothel operating with the advice and support of ACORN. (Of course not for the poor girls involved...).

Like someone above said - discovery is going to be a real bitch for ACORN.

#11 "I triple-dog dares ya to throw me in that briar patch over there! You ain't gots the guts t'do it!"

#12 The folks at RedState don't think much of ACORN's legal argument.

#13 that change would certainly have caused a huge amount of emotional distress

Not to mention the time and expense of ordering a new set of business cards and letterhead stationery.
