This week Republicans held a forum on ACORN in the House Judiciary Committee and the Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday. It was round table style back and forth. This was not a hearing but a forum, and as such, there was no testimony. No one on the panel was under oath. In fact, it really wasn't that sort of a set up. Congress people would ask a question or make a point and any and all members of the panel were free to jump in. The panel included Buddy Caldwell and his son. Buddy is the AG of Louisiana and his son works in the AG's office. The AG's office is currently conducting an investigation of ACORN and last month it made a splash when they raided an office of ACORN. Former Project Vote employee and self described "whistle blower", Anita Moncrief, was also on the panel. The Secretary of State of Indiana Todd Rotkia, and Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation, and a former Justice Dept. official, were on the panel.
The panel discussion went about as expected. Here's a clip.
