That lawsuit didn't include anyone Illinois, so maybe it's in a different federal district.
There are 11 federal circuits and there can be conflicting rulings in each one and the Supreme Court refuse to hear any of the cases to end the conflict.
As an example, the federal circuit court that covers TX ruled that anyone employed by the federal government as ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. This conflicts with another federal circuit ruling that limits Absolute Immunity to federal politicians, FBI and the various parts of the "intel" community. This is how Elizabeth Warren was exempt from libel and slander lawsuits over her blatant lies about the Covington Kids, even after the entire truth came out.
