Big Push for Costly “Comparable Worth” Legislation Coming? Lilly Ledbetter Returns to the Stage

Article here. Excerpt:

'Lilly Ledbetter, who made false claims about her pay discrimination lawsuit, has returned to the political arena, as you can see at this link. This may set the stage for another Congressional push for passage of the costly and misleadingly-named “Paycheck Fairness Act,” which Ms. Ledbetter backed in the past, or for “comparable worth” legislation, or other trial-lawyer backed legislation that would require pay to be set based on factors other than merit.

Various lawyers, like Paul Mirengoff, an attorney at Akin Gump, have concluded that Ms. Ledbetter deceived Congress and the public about when she became aware of the pay disparities she sued over in her lawsuit, in order to try and make her discrimination claim appear more timely. She clearly has made false claims, claiming she was not aware of what she previously admitted knowing in a sworn deposition. (The liberal former EEOC lawyer David Copus and the moderate Stuart Taylor of the National Journal and Brookings Institution have also cited the existence of this inconvenient deposition testimony, which contradicts claims made by Ms. Ledbetter.) I earlier discussed a false claim made by Ms. Ledbetter that contradicted her deposition testimony at this link.'
