 Nowhere does the law say you must prove your claim within 180 days, the laws only states that you must file the claim within 180 days.
In this case the plaintiff, Ms Ledbetter claimed that each paycheck she received was an act under the discrimination. The Court said no. The Court said that the act of discrimination was the raise itself.
Like it or not, the Court read the law, and applied the law as it was written. Is that not what they are suppose to do??? Interpret the law????? No pneumbras, no living consititution but quite simply the law is what it is written. How novel of an idea, a nation ruled by laws.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
