The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which was signed into law on Jan. 29, 2009, restores the protection against pay discrimination that was stripped away by the Supreme Court’s decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The Act reinstates prior law and helps to ensure that individuals subjected to unlawful pay discrimination are able to effectively assert their rights under federal anti-discrimination laws....

Palin on Ledbetter.
"I’m absolutely for equal pay for equal work. The Ledbetter pay act--it was gonna turn into a boon for trial lawyers who, I believe, could have taken advantage of women who [would] allege discrimination many, many years ago. Thankfully, there are laws on the books, there have been since 1963, that no woman could be discriminated against in the workplace in terms of anything, but especially in terms of pay. So, thankfully we have the laws on the books and they better be enforced."
Where does that statement make sense? She endorses old laws 'already on the books' that facilitated the Ledbetter v. Goodyear decision, but, she rhetorically states she believes in equal pay.
Palin flies in the fact of pure unadulterated logic to facilitate rhetoric. That is leadership? Where? There is no leadership here.
First understanding that government is not perfect is to realize when it works for people and when it doesn't. If Sarah Palin cannot discern when government is acting adversely toward a citizen or citizens she endangers the rights of every American. She certainly impales equality in a way that no one before her has, with the exception of perhaps Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood. "You've come a long way, babe."
