Ed, in addition to discovery, RICO countersuits, ACORN ignored MD’s SLAPP reulations regarding 1st amendment related suits. MD is a 2 party state, but if MD used ACORN/Barney Franks interpretation, about half the award winning jounalists in MD would be in jail for past transgressions, and I am sure MD prosecutor views are all over past rejected complaints. ACORN’s arrogance is exceeded only by their ignorance.
