"Baby Parts" PP video fakers get bad news from Supreme Court: Show us the MONEY.

[TalkingDog]

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/12/06/supreme-court-just-gave-some-very-bad-news-to-the-maker-of-those-planned-parenthood-videos/

On Friday, the group was denied an emergency appeal by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who oversees appeals from California, in an attempt to avoid a district court order forcing them to disclose fully a list of their key donors and supporters. (emphasis mine TD)

Since the emergency plea to the high court was almost immediately rejected as it was filed, it looks like the world will soon know who financed those awful videos after all. It’s about time – no longer will they be able to hide in secret behind a curtain while the group does its dirty work.

The group has been dodging for some time. The National Abortion Federation set everything in proper motion, after alleging in a lawsuit that the center’s members were only able to get into Planned Parenthood’s meetings by lying about themselves and falsely promising not to reveal the contents of those meetings.

A federal judge agreed and says it’s now time to cough up. Judge William Orrick isn’t one to mince words either, saying in the order: “It’s time to end this shell game.”

1. Excellent. Let's shine some light and...

13. Sunshine - the best disinfectant.

[Bubzer]

52. Can't wait to find out who the funders are.

It'll be a full-on roasting within the fires of public awareness. Any corporate associates will lose a lot of business.
Any individuals will feel the full weight of public outrage.

[TheBlackAdder]

3. Don't fall into their trap. They want abusive comments to prove they will face 'retribution.'

.


These guys are trying to justify that they will face some type of 'retribution' for their disclosure.

Granted, they are probably just projecting their own intents for the making of these videos, the creating of fake bank accounts and fictitious names, etc.. You know, all the shit that real terrorist organizations and money laundering fronts do! They deep down inside know that video was to incite violence, and they project that onto the pro-choice camp--because that's how they would act.


Let's try to be civil to abate their reasoning for secrecy.

I'm not saying you should not be angry, or protest, but not to incite harm to them in return.

14. I admit to a wave of schadenfreude

You're right: Don't waste perfectly good karma on these idiots. I'm stockpiling mine so I can tap-dance on Dick Cheney's grave.

[randys1]

51. Or Karl Rove's. AT least Cheney did some stuff because he thought he was doing the

right thing, as sick as that seems.

Rove did what he did, does what he does, to enrich himself and to increase the power of the worst people this country has ever spawned...or tied with worst with confederates

[SusanaMontana41]

61. Cheney, to paraphrase Cheney, can go fuck himself.

Karl Rove, Lee Atwater, Pat Buchanan … the list is endless.

[klook]

16. A few years or decades in prison

is retribution enough for me. Well, ok - plus maybe a few million in damages.

[Proserpina]

21. They might....jail is a good possibility, also big fines

The wheels of Justice move slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine....

Variation on a traditional proverb, appeared in various forms over the millennia. Traditionally refers to gods or (later) Christian God rather than justice. Early recorded form of sentiment by Euripides circa 405 BCE The Bacchae, line 882, translated as:
Slow but sure moves the might of the gods
Earliest printed version is Sextus Empiricus Against Professors (perhaps specifically Against the Grammarians) I.xiii.287; see “The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small”, Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs; The Dictionary of Cliches James Rogers (Wings Books, Originally New York: Facts on File Publications, 1985), quoted by ESC at The Phrase Finder, Re: The Wheels of Justice... (March 19, 2009). Sextus quotes it as an existing Greek adage and gives a Latin form:
ὀ?? ?ɛῷ? ἀ?έ???ί?ύ??ί, ἀ?έ???ί ?? ?ɛ?ṯά,

Est mola tarda dei, verum molit illa minutim
The mills of the gods are late to grind, but they grind small.

[annabanana]

34. classic martyr complex . . . n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

47. Vengeance is the only motivating thought pattern these jokers have, no surprise they fear retribution.

[moondust]

4. Can't they be sued

for libel or defamation of some sort?

[TalkingDog]

6. In civil court perhaps. But I'm not enough of an expert to weigh in.

There are barristers at DU. One of them might know.

[LeftyMom]

8. The CA AG's office is making noises about criminal prosecution.

They used fake ID, they appear to have stolen at least one identity of at least one real person who definitely wasn't a participant, they lied on their state tax forms about the nature of their enterprise, and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. And all of that occurred in the great state of California, where the legality of abortion (hell, we'll give you state funding to have one) is about as controversial as the idea that there are seven days in a week.

[AlbertCat]

43. They used fake ID, they appear to have stolen at least one identity of at least one real person ...

... who definitely wasn't a participant, they lied on their state tax forms about the nature of their enterprise...

They'll attempt anything to do the Lord's good work....

or something....

[Manifestor_of_Light]

62. That sounds like fun for the AG's office.

Fake ID etc. Sounds like California will have fun going after them.


I don't agree with Jerry Brown about everything but I do think he's cool. Especially the way he balanced the budget by raising taxes.

And yes, I'm so old I remember when he was the YOUNGEST governor of California and was dating Linda Ronstadt.

Jerry's been the youngest governor of CA and the oldest governor of CA too. That's quite an accomplishment.

Like when The Who were called "the best rock and roll band in the world, the worst rock and roll band in the world, and the LOUDEST rock and roll band in the world" all at the same time. Multitasking.

[L. Coyote]

20. If they caused damages, they can be sued and forced to pay damages.

No damage, what grounds? But, where damage lies, there is a suit.

[moondust]

22. Libelous demonization

inciting defamation, funding cuts, harassment, and even murder requiring armed security to ensure the safety of staff and clients as well as public relations campaigns to promote the truth and correct the record.

[daleo]

24. There could be punitive damages

Those can get quite high.

[niyad]

42. no damages? three people dead, nine wounded in colorado springs, building almost destroyed,

courtesy of "no baby parts" dear. unable to accept patients until rebuilt. all the acts of vandalism at women's health clinics across the country. will that do for a starter on damages?

[navarth]

55. +1

[jberryhill]

54. What is it that you think this news article is about?

They are being sued. That's why their appeal of a preliminary order was before the court in the first place. This is a news article about a step in the lawsuit against them.

[Photographer]

5. I saw that. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

I hope there's all kinds of fallout from the disclosures.

[Ferd Berfel]

7. Can't wait to hear this one!

oh boy
oh boy
oh boy
oh boy

[ejbr]

9. +1 n/t

[RecoveringJournalist]

10. A Request

Can someone please post something as soon as they see this - or the outcome of this - on Fox News?

[onecaliberal]

11. They'll NEVER report that. EVER

[Oilwellian]

29. LOL...when pigs fly. n/t

[Doctor_J]

12. Bad news fr them would be that they're facing conspiracy charges for the latest CO Springs slaughter

This is nothing.

[SusanaMontana41]

17. It's not nothing

but you're right about the Colorado Springs conspiracy.

I hope we get that, too.

[niyad]

58. could we get them for conspiracy and accessories?

[Omaha Steve]

15. Thanks for posting

K&R!

OS

[HootieMcBoob]

18. Yes!

Thank you. Important news! K&R

[smith_70]

19. fake video

The supreme court needs to make them take this video off the internet. Some people actually believe this thing.
and what Carly Fionna said is outrageous. Even a rather progressive friend believed what she said.

[SunSeeker]

23. K & R

[rocktivity]

25. To quote the runner up of the last DU "You Call This NEWS?" Awards

"How's it feel, fuckers?"

[Thinkingabout]

28. Might be interesting to see if Carly Friona's name is on the list of donors. She still lies about it

[gratuitous]

30. All in favor of freedom of speech

And it should be the public's right to know who's speaking. Why so shy, guys?

[kimbutgar]

31. What do you bet the funders are republican operatives who coordinated with the republican congress?

The republicans are like a mafia crime family. They line up their ducks and set up their stings. The most devious of devious people.

[Vogon_Glory]

46. I would not be surprised

I would not be surprised. The same people who foisted "tea Party" republicans on the country are probably up to their eyeballs in this.

[Enthusiast]

32. Video fakers. Video fakers. Video fakers. Video fakers. Video fakers. Video fakers. Video fakers. Vi

I hate fucking Video fakers.

[annabanana]

33. Let's see which slugs crawl out from under that rock. . .

Should be interesting

[marym625]

35. YAY!!

[Hekate]

36. Kick for truth

[George II]

37. Want to be that Fiorina is on the list?

[LynneSin]

39. I don't think anyone at DU would take that sucker bet

I think we might see more high profile names on that list than the Ashley Madison list.

[Duval]

38. K&R!

Here's hoping something, like justice, will come of this.

Thanks for posting, TalkingDog!

[TalkingDog]

41. You are welcome. And thanks to you and all the others

for pushing this up to the top of the Greatest page.

[sarge43]

40. That splash you hear are the money rats leaving that sinking ship

[WillyT]

44. K & R !!!

[lark]

45. Yay, can't wait!

[Dont call me Shirley]

48. Good news. Expose them all.

[Angry Dragon]

49. kick

[Schmice2]

50. Ginny Thomas, Clarence's wife was involved. A Blaze employee too. Watch.

[d_legendary1]

53. This is definately good news!

Now we can see which fundamentalist group is funding this crusade.

[navarth]

56. Is James 'booger' O'Keefe involved in this?

There's one I'd like to see get some comeuppance.

[Vogon_Glory]

57. Seeing David Dalieden and Lila Rose face justice would be just as god n/t

Seeing David Dalieden, the guy who made the videos, and Lila Rose, a rabidly anti-abortion fanatic, facing criminal charges and civil suits, would be just about as satisfactory.

[merrily]

59. Given Citizens United, I never would have predicted this, but it's great news.

[Vinca]

60. I wonder if PP can go after the deep pockets behind this fraud.

[smirkymonkey]

63. K&R

It's about time those f***kers got what is coming to them.

Thank you, Judge Orrick!
