yeah let's show those women their place. I don't think that equal pay is the right issue to target in any attempt at litigation reform. Litigation reform may well be needed, but there are cases that are NOT going to be resolved without the courts and you know it. Brown vs Board of Education anyone? Ledbetter was paid less because the company thought they could get away with it, period, and I find it very sad that in fact they were right.
