I'm really glad that one of the first things to pass through Congress under Obama's watch was overturning Ledbetter.
I know some people thought that the wording of the original law needed to be fixed to make it clear that each successive paycheck starts the discriminatory acts clock over,but I don't think that justified the Court's horrendous conclusion that Civil Rights must be extremely and unduly difficult to enforce. It's awesome that this got taken care of so quickly and I'm happy that Ledbetter's name will no longer be associated with an idiotic judicial ruling but rather with a much needed legislative step towards enforcing Equal Pay.
