They were talking about a bill offered by Sen. Kennedy, the Fair Pay Restoration Act (S. 1843), which would overturn the Supreme Court's Ledbetter ruling that determined that pay discrimination suits could only be considered if they were brought within a specified period of time after the first paycheck that reflected discrimination was received, even if the plaintiff continued to suffer pay discrimination after that time.

The legislation the girl was referring to would have effectively reversed a Supreme Court decision that makes it massively difficult for any employee to uncover, much less take legal action against the scale of discriminatory pay that the Ledbetter/Goodyear case was about. Regardless of whether you agree with the act, McCain is a pussy, and falling back on the old "trial lawyers" argument is not really an answer of any substance. So, in essence, the girl had some balls, McCain has to smear her on the Daily Show of all places by lying about what she said. Our brave, brave war hero.
But, he makes great barbecue, so it's not like you'll see anything about this on the news.
BUT OBAMA MIGHT BE SMOKING AGAIN!!!!!

Basically, McCain further helped to erode the rights of any and all workers in this country.

Yay for Orwellian terms like "right to work" and "at will employment"!

Hooray for Orwellian terms like "equal opportunity" and "non-discriminatory" that disadvantage white males legally and professionally.

Hooray for Orwellian terms like "tolerance" that really mean persecution of the politically incorrect.

That 14 year old girl needs to keep quiet until she's old enough to read, and then MAYBE she might diverge from what her stoner teachers told her.

It's hard to take your opinion seriously when you are a giant fucking tool who doesn't believe two consenting same-sex adults should be allowed to be legally married to one another. In short; fuck you.

"WAAAAH WAAAH WAAAAAH!

I'm oddeye! I'm mad because Billy Buttsex said a year ago that I can't wear a wedding dress with other guys! It makes me so mad that he has standards that he keeps, and believes that morals apply to people other than himself! I will not agree with ANYTHING ELSE THAT HE SAYS, EVER, BECAUSE HE IRONICALLY DOESN'T APPROVE OF BUTTSEX, BECAUSE I'M A CHILD."

ok, what do you think makes you sound older when refering to a teenager, ma'am or young lady?

or are you so old now that you wouldn't know

I like throwing out "home girl" because all broads like being called that.

Oh my god, I don't actually know. I'm 22 so ma'am and young lady really aren't appropriate.

Ignore SolRo, he is a twelve year old boy with a freakishly abnormal Columbian man's head. Beyond his control, his Columbian man's head bobs back and forth incessantly, causing constant dystonic pain to his neck muscles. The medical community has built a unique harness to support the weight of this skull material, while a team of neurologists frequently enter his habitat to attempt to locate his brain cavity (seismographs have proven inconclusive). This is possibly why he is bound to his home, where he spends life in a network of hydraulic feeding tubes, his only succor the constant stream of anime on the wall of screens before him.

This is a great comment, right here. This one right here. I expect this kind of thing from all of you, from now on.

"I didn't know" isn't a defense. Tee hee.

It was back in his day. Ha hoo.

...I guess so. I'm just always surprised at how low the bar is these days. Debating a 14-year old without resorting to overt strongarm tactics... this gets applause now?
