ACORN Drops Their Lawsuit Over O'Keefe-Giles Video
Posted by The MaryHunter at March 12, 2010 6:30 AM
In a follow-up to the neverending story that is ACORN, it seems that ACORN may have learned when to say when:
ACORN has voluntarily dropped a lawsuit stemming from a hidden-camera video that showed its employees giving advice to a pair dressed as a pimp and a prostitute.
The multimillion-dollar lawsuit was filed last year in Baltimore. It contends the audio portion of the video was obtained illegally because Maryland law requires the consent of both parties to record private conversations.
ACORN attorney Andrew Freeman says the activist organization is still plotting its legal strategy, and he will likely refile the lawsuit. It was withdrawn before a deadline for serving it on the defendants.
Now, might they be pondering said legal strategy with index finger pressed firmly to chin? I hear that helps when one is trying to weasel out of a no-win situation. Is this really over, though? With enemies in such high and mighty places in state and federal government, O'Keefe and Giles had better not drop their guard.
Kinda nice when the good guys win (for now anyway).
