Well played Congress, Obama
Ledbetter bill
This bill corrects a ridiculous ruling by the Supreme Court, which more or less gutted Title 7 and discrimination claims which Congress made legal through laws. Eat it, Supreme Court!
Here's the oral argument: Ledbetter v. Goodyear
Here's the opinion announcement, and Ginsberg's dissent: Ginsberg's dissents are usually pretty right.
btw, oyez.org has media files of cases, the orgal arguments and opinion announcements; they're so much fun to listen to while doing chores and what not. Some are really good, like the Reed case... oh burn!!
