I always assumed he was championing the cause of the little guy. Within the last week I read somewhere that Abe's days of riding the circuit to courts around Illinois and the Midwest were as a trial lawyer for the railroads. If that's true, he certainly was not championing the cause of the underdogs while he was a lawyer. He would have been in the business of using every trick in the book to make certain that those with the money got their 'justice' and that the little guy received no justice. You know anything what Abe did as a trial lawyer? - Kevin
