Who the **** was Lilly Ledbetter????
Yeah, some great historic accomplishment. Nobody even knows who or what it’s about.
The Lilly Ledbetter Act is something the media uses to put a hero badge on Obama when, if fact, he did nothing more than sign a bill that passed with bi partisan support in both houses.
It was named for Lilly Ledbetter who was definitely treated poorly as a supervisor at a Goodyear plant in Alabama. She had a rightful case that was reversed by the supreme court based on a statute of limitations. She was mistreated again by the court in the eyes of most people and that's why congress passed a bill eliminating the statute of limitations and made it retroactive to the day before the supreme's decision.
The bill called the Lilly Ledbetter act did not create equal pay for women, that was done with the equal pay act of 1963. So, for the media to say this was a big Obama accomplishment is a lie on two different levels.
