As repulsive as it was, slavery was legal when this whole thing took place before the civil war, so being legal, (not right) there was never a crime commited.
I wasn’t going to dignify your attitude with a response. What you need to do is take a chill
pill and lighten up!!!
don’t you know that in america anybody can sue anybody and it the legal way to get them to pay something that is less rather than have the cost of defending the stupid suit which would be more
This is a class action civil suit, the statute of limitations applies only to prosecution under the criminal code.
Funny, I always thought that bankruptcy and reorganization meant that suit could not be filed for debts incurred prior to the declaration of bankruptcy. The direct predecessors of CSX Corporation had been through the bankruptcy courts at least twice since the Late Unpleasantness.
Yup, where I come from we call it extortion.
it makes no differance wether you put a gun to someones head and say “Give me your money” or you serve someone with legal papers for a BS lawsuit its still robbery.
You really have to question though, along with the moral status of the lawyers serving the suit, but what kind of nutball judge would actually hear this kind of a case? There really is no legal precedence here, at least when comparing to the . This, as has been pointed out, is a civil class action (read:I need some cash and 15 minutes of fame or my career is done) lawsuit. The Nazi trials were war crimes trials. My biggest complaint with this whole issue is the fact that its brought up at all. This has all the makings of a publicity stunt pure and simple, I really wish it was an early April Fools joke. I have a lot of black friends, good people, and hard workers…and they honestly dont give a rats butt weather or not they get anything out of this debackle (I probably didnt spell that right). But then again, all it takes to get a law degree is good grades and the cao pay for the school. I shoulda been a lawer.

This country needs the "loser pays"legal system that some of the european governments use:If you sue someone and lose,you pay their legal fees as well as your own.Furthermore if it is a B.S. lawsuit like this one and it gets thrown out(like this one should),the plaintiff’s lawyer should get nothing.Maybe there would be a few less lawsuits.
Actually, no one was referring to the Nuremberg tribunals. I was talking about the
various cases brought against German, and to a lesser extent French corporations which
either profited from the camps or in the case of the French National Railway, transported
people to the camps.
How’s Rantoul doing lately?
You Seen who there Ambulance Chaser is. good ole johnny cochran.
Actually you can get sued for looking at someone for the wrong way.
Cochran! Oh man! He’s just Don King with a better haircut. He is also one of the best examples to prove that the Law is not a profession in this country. I would hope that if there were any engineers like him, we would take action through our professional boards.
I thought there were laws against abuse of the legal system?
Shows how stupid the people behind the lawsuit really are. Nothing like suing a starving man.
What are they after, liquidation priveledges? a piece of conrail? the rails?
Suit would be a real shot in the arm of NS…
