Ledbetter v. Goodyear

Take that, Roberts court.

FAIR PAY ACT PASSES HOUSE. Congress today voted 225-199 to overturn the Supreme Court's May ruling that all claims of pay discrimination must be filed within 180 days of the first pay check at a new salary. The House bill reverts to the accepted interpretation of the Civil Rights Act, in which each pay check is a separate act that can serve as the basis of a discrimination claim.


Bush has sworn to veto the bill, so stay tuned.


I'm sure Bush will veto it, but I'm really curious to hear the rationale behind it. Businesses are people too! Why do you hate people!!!!!
