Today is also Equal Pay Day, a day that highlights the fact that equal pay still doesn't exist. Via Firedoglake, below is a video produced by Alliance for Justice that shows Lilly Ledbetter speaking out about pay discrimination in her own words (and narrated by Josh Lyman, er Bradly Whitford).

has a video (also in Lilly's words) and petition going on to get the legislative fix through the Senate -- it's already through the House.

I know that pay discrimination is a reality, but I have to say I was shocked that such a blatantly unjust decision was actually made. Although this video provided a great analysis of Supreme Court decision making and the impacts, it left me unsatisfied and hopeless. This case is obviously a huge setback to achieving equal pay, but how do we overcome this setback?
