John Sununu, Lilly Ledbetter, and the Supreme Court

For years, Lilly Ledbetter was paid far less than the men in her factory for doing the same work -- and she proved it in court. But when the company appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, a new justice nominated by George W. Bush and supported by New Hampshire Senator John Sununu wrote the opinion that denied her equal pay. Tell John Sununu we need judges who will protect workers -- not take our rights away.

Ledbetter was doing fine financially, and she just did this out of spite and envy of male coworkers who got more that happened to be better at their jobs. If Ledbetter was a better worker, then maybe she'd get paid more. After all, she was consistently rated lower on periodic evaluations.

Ledbetter was long out of her job when she sued. She only did it as an excuse. Goodyear was a convenient scapegoat.

The old liberal myth of "women being discriminated in pay" has been shattered time and again. Legit studies prove it's much more complex than "sexist bosses not paying women as much b/c they view them as inferior." The Ledbetter situation is suspicious, if you ask me. She claims some random worker who "had access to payroll records" mailed her a random letter with that info. can I see a copy of that letter? Did Ledbetter REALLy prove it? I think not.

Thanks John! The courts have no business interfering in free markets.
