The Supreme Court's ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear made the law an ass. Hide your violations for 6 months, and you're scot-free to continue them indefinitely.
“Never mind that Ms. Ledbetter didn’t know about the discrimination when it first began,” [Sen. Ted] Kennedy said. “Never mind that she had no means to learn of the discrimination because Goodyear kept salary information confidential. Never mind that Goodyear’s discrimination against Ms. Ledbetter continued each and every time it gave her a smaller paycheck than it gave her male colleagues.”The Bushists, of course, raise the bogeyman of lawsuits, aaaah, the sky is falling! They couldn't care less whether justice is done so long as a corporation doesn't have to defend its discriminatory practices.
The real necessity is to get the Federalist Society SOBs off the federal bench.
