Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

I'm trying to understand: this was passed into law right when Obama became President, so is it an amendment regarding the statute of limitations that was rejected in the Senate yesterday or today? Now, my initial post below...


This Act was rejected in the Senate, and I'm still trying to figure out why in the world anyone would reject a bill saying that women should be paid equally rather than $.77 to the $1.00 that men are paid. I'm researching now trying to find the act itself; maybe they snuck a bunch of other stuff in the bill?

Does anyone know more about this? Comment then, please. It's set to automatically have responses be anonymous, and I would like to understand this. If I figure it out, I'll post about it.

Okay, so it was rejected because Republicans were worried about too many lawsuits basically. Oh, and the current acts are good enough...broad enough coverage...clearly not!
