Supreme Court lays the smackdown on the anti-abortion group that created those doctored anti-Planned Parenthood videos.

Uh oh.
Courtesy of the LA Times:  

The Supreme Court on Friday denied an emergency appeal from the California-based antiabortion group behind the secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal tissue recovery. 

The group, known as the Center for Medical Progress, had filed an emergency appeal asking the high court to allow it to keep its list of key donors and supporters confidential. 

But Justice Anthony Kennedy, who oversees appeals from California, turned down the request. 

The center is fighting a lawsuit from the National Abortion Federation, which alleges the center's members got into federation meetings by lying about themselves and falsely promising not to reveal what transpired.

Now why do I think that the donors to this group REALLY do not want their names to be made public? 

I think I am really going to enjoy watching this case move forward.

    How do we know that his list won't be as phony as his videos?

    I'm confused here, but I guess it's a start.

      Checks, payment records. If they lie, the they can be charged with IRS issues (ask Capone about that) and this would be lying under oath as it is a court case, thus perjury.

  2. Don't ask me why, but the first name that popped into my head as being on the donor list and not wanting his name revealed was Marco Rubio.

      I was thinking Carly Fiorina, consider how much she's milked those videos for her own benefit.

      Ooohh...I thought there might be candidates on that list but I never thought about SCOTUS justices. Wouldn't THAT be embarrassing?

      Thomas and Scalia would be my guesses. Both have acted unethically about contact with entities on cases before them.

    These are the same people who would love to see made public the names and information for abortion providers and clinic worker and women who use PP services.

    So, screw them.

    Cannot wait to see who these low life demented donors are?
    I suspect we will not be surprised. Nonetheless we can only hope they will be dealt with once and for all. Scum rat shit,that they be.

    Lessee . . If the US can identify some fanatic in Syria or Iraq egging on terrorists to attack a building in the US, we drop a Hellfire missile on his head.

    Ashley Madison is crumbs compared to this. I think we'll actually see some serious blowback with the donors, the same kind of people and corporations protected in PAC activities.

    I am so glad to hear that someone has taken on the creeps responsible for all of this harassment of Planned Parenthood. May those responsible be exposed and ruined by all of this. They have caused enormous mayhem to a group that has done a lot of good over the years for a lot of people.

      Unfortunately, Beaglemom, as you are aware, there will ALWAYS be those who will not accept that the videos were faked. Lots of them. Just as there are still those who refuse to acknowledge that President Obama was born here and isn't a muslim.

    Ugh, Leland, I could wish you were less accurate in your remarks.

    Throw some hope in to soften the realistic cynicism. :(

  13. My guess is they are now busily shredding everything they can, erasing harddrives, then running them through magnets, then smashing them.

    This guy has CONTEMPT written all over him. He will not comply. He will delay until they show up with warrants and the only thing left for them to confiscate is shredded paper and scrap metal.

    Fuck the donors.

    I want this guy charges with manslaughter for inciting the murder and attempted murder of innocent U.S. Citizens. I want a separate charge for every single victim all over the country. Federal court. Then I want consecutive sentences so that he'll be long dead before he's eligible for parole.

    And after they are done with this piece of excrement, I want them to turn their focus to those Operation Rescue assholes.
