Another case of employment discrimination (in this case, pay disparity), not being taken seriously by the Supreme Court. Talk about a bogus interpretation of a filing deadline. How is a paycheck disparity resulting from gender discrimination not a unique instance of harm?
But since this is a statutory case, I don’t need to hear lectures on whether the decision was legally sound or not. If the Court is right about the statutory mandate, it’s obviously an atrocious policy, and Congress should change it. So I look forward to all the regular commentators who love to berate me about how I like to substitute politics for law to seize this chance to show how committed they are to the political side of lawmaking and lobby Congress to make this law into one that actually stands a chance at protecting women from gender-based pay discrimination.
