That people need to improve their fucking reading comprehension skills.

Okay, so what are you bitching about?

Actually, this was the first time the Supreme Court had ruled on the issue.

Previously the law was interpreted in such a way that the 180 days didn’t start until the person learned about the discrimination.

Interpreted that way by the EEOC, not the Supreme Court.

This makes sense, otherwise, as the law stands now, as long as you can cover your ass for six months, you can’t be sued.

Actually, you can still be sued under the Equal Pay Act that doesn’t contain the 180 day requirement.

Congratulations once again on proving yourself to be a big time ignoramus.

Which contradicted what previous supreme courts had said on the matter. Previously the law was interpreted in such a way that the 180 days didn’t start until the person learned about the discrimination. This makes sense, otherwise, as the law stands now, as long as you can cover your ass for six months, you can’t be sued.

While there are a 100 million Republicans who are stupid like you, there are more Americans who are not.

Gee, if anything j should be for that.

But at least he’s not an elitist.

Here’s what the Supreme Court said:

Ledbetter should have filed an EEOC charge within 180 days after each allegedly discriminatory employment decision was made and communicated to her. Her attempt to shift forward the intent associated with prior discriminatory acts to the 1998 pay decision is unsound, for it would shift intent away from the act that consummated the discriminatory employment practice to a later act not performed with bias or discriminatory motive, imposing liability in the absence of the requisite intent.

It makes perfect sense. Except to those who idiotically claim McCain is “out of touch” because of his opposition to the bill in question.
