Senate debating equal pay discrimination legislation

[MiniMe]

Just started at 5. Senator Kennedy is leading the discussion for the Dems.

1. This is actually pretty good.

The repukes are trying to debate why they don't think its really an issue. What else is new.

[undeterred]

4. Damn Dems just have to learn to control their uppity women.

:sarcasm:

2. Hatch is up now

:puke: I'd love to see him worm his way out of this one

[aikoaiko]

3. Any text on a bill yet? I don't understand the legislation

[MiniMe]

5. From what I have heard, it has to do with the statute of limitations

on how long a woman has to file. I think they say now you only have 180 days. The problem is that many times you don't know within 180 days that your pay is not the same as a man's, so it makes it just about impossible to bring it up in a court because it is almost always past 180 days.

6. Clinton speaking now

She actually made it back for this bill

[femrap]

7. I have little faith in

the dem men...very little indeed. It will be very interesting to see which ones don't want women to make roughly the same amount of salary as men for doing the same job.

For those who vote against this, I will make a little pink apron with lace.

8. Obama speaking now
