Justice Department to Fund Lawsuits?

From the American Thinker:
The Obama justice department is apparently planning to change the way civil rights suits are dealt with.
I the past, defendants losing or settling their cases would turn over money to be distributed to any "victims" as they are found and the remainder would returned to the plaintiff.
Now the excess would be turned over to a "qualified organization" to be used as they see fit.
If their is not enough money left, the plaintiff may be forced to provide more.

It isn't a stretch to imagine that groups like ACORN would get the money and that they would in turn use it to initiate even more lawsuits in a never ending cycle of what amounts to government sponsored theft and extortion.

Imagine more giveaways to Obama's pals in finance bill

Imagine activists and unions stacking corporate boards with people more interested in "social justice" and the environment than profit.
Imagine businesses victimized by the financial crisis being the ones punished by increased scrutiny and costs.
Imagine the return of gender and race quotas.
Imagine more money flowing to organizations like ACORN.
Imagine a bureaucracy that can choose to loan money to anyone it's directer desires, no matter how risky the loan with no internal checks on the director's decisions.
Imagine a "Consumer Protection" bureaucracy with the power (and unstated mission) to punish ANY company that has a financial relationship with consumers.
No imagination required. It is all in the new finance legislation.

Be afraid.

Former ACORN CEO arrested at protest against AZ law

Bertha Lewis (AKA Dirty Bertie) was taken away in cuffs at a rally against the Arizona immigration law.
While it is nice to see her doing the perp walk, any real punishment is unlikely.
BTW, she is not the current ACORN leader.

ACORN wouldn't have allowed this

Britain's election was marred by voters being turned away at the polls and deprived their right to vote.
Election officials are sure to catch a lot of flak over their lack of preparation for the "unexpected" turnout.
Thousands were turned away and some had to be dispersed by police.
If they just had ACORN (and we would gladly ship them over the pond) they would have figured something out.
So, it wouldn't be quite legal.
As long as the "right" people get into office.
