#1 Thanks, Norgle. Takes guts to buck the PC Swindle Game - especially in Illinois, Land of ~~Lincoln~~ Machine Lunacy.

#2 Better chance in targeting the Democrats, their 'Copperhead' moonbat wing, and their longtime allies, the KKK, not only for slavery but conspiracy to deny civil rights. Maybe all those records of highly regarded Democratic filibusters on lynching and civil rights laws can be introduced. Oh, that would mean you'd be sueing yourselves. Have at it.

#3 Welcome to the blatant "federal case" losers circle counsellor Obi One Knotheadi! Read up on the statute of limitations, count your blessings, and get back to reality and the present.

#5 This will be tried again. They'll go court shoppin' in order to find a sympathetic judge. One question...why Chicago? That court would have to have jurisdiction in order to rule on it, right? Were most of the involved companies headquartered there?

#6 You know, I'm of Irish descent. My forefathers broke their backs building the transcontinental railroad, and I bet they did't make minimun wage! I wonder if the ACLU or People for the American Way would like to get me a settlement for their work? I'd give them 30% of any actual cash I put in my pocket. So do you think I have a case?

#7 Isn't there some sort of process that can stop stupid law suits like this one? I mean do these lawyers really think that they can prosecute a ompany for something that (while wrong) was legal and there are NO direct injured party? I like this judge and his ruling, maybe he is on the short list for SCOTUS.

#9 Ummm, 1868?

I believe the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered in 1863.

There may have been some silly governmental bureaucracy thing that kept the ratification of the EM tied up legally until 1868, but the official emancipation of slaves in the south (and effectively everywhere else) was made in 1863.
