Subject: Idiot: Obama Calls for Passage of Workplace Fairness Act for Women Sat Mar 12, 2011 7:07 pm |

President Obama, who has two young daughters, pressed Saturday for passage of a bill meant to make it easier for women to have their day in court when they feel employers are underpaying them simply because of their gender.
Obama, in his weekly address, said he was disappointed when the Senate fell just short of approving the Paycheck Fairness Act last year. He urged Congress to take another crack at it and vowed, "I'm going to keep up the fight to pass the reforms in that bill."
The legislation would treat gender discrimination involving wages in the same manner as discrimination related to race, age or disability -- effectively opening up another avenue for court challenges. Many business interests oppose it because they fear a flood of litigation.

I wonder whether 'feelings' would count as evidence? Hurt 'feelings' can count as injury liable for compensation.
