Hidden cameras and intercepted communications are lauded by the Left when the victims are in the opposition. I think you can come up with as many examples as I can, including leaked national security information. Just saying.

As for ACORN, one incident is an aberration. Seven similar incidents in different cities is a policy.

ACORN is a leftist thug squad whose primary job is delivering street-level political support to a single political party. The Democrats will defend them to their last breath.

This judicial ploy will eventually be struck down by someone who knows a lot more about the Constitution, but in the meantime, the goal is to have ACORN drift out of the spotlight, keep collecting its millions, and keep its role as Democratic shock troops.

Oh, and a small clue for those who haven't been keeping up: the people who hacked those e-mails aren't "right wingers."
