Just like it's taken time for us to know and experience freedom more fully... and yet the journey to the promised land is still ongoing.<BR><BR/>Kay<BR/><A HREF="http://www.abortionsva.com" REL="nofollow">Nova Women's Healthcare</A><BR/><I>Choice.

I find it jaw-dropping that, in the benighted Shrub years, there wasn't a right to challenge unequal pay.<BR/><BR/>Neo-cons make bad economic policy *and* don't care about justice. Yet U.S. citizens kept voting for them.

Oh yeah, and the constitution also. That was one of my main reasons for supporting him: you know, that two justices close to retirement so lets have a president who taught constitutional law appoint the new ones thing? I do have a question about Lily Ledbetter: does the new law mean she gets any of her settlement?
