The shorter Sarah Palin : She was for "right to privacy" before she was against it.

"Don't leave home without it."

Awesome!

I have to say, Dennis Kucinich is one of the nicest, most authentic politicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He's the real deal as a progressive who, quite honestly, I'd rather have in Congress, the Senate or Supreme Court, not so much as President. He's too forthright to be President.

And yes, I'd love to see Congressman Kucinich in the Supreme Court. That would win Obama and the Democrats progessive credentials back with a vengeance.

Kucinich for Supreme Court Justice!

In LEDBETTER v. GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO, the Supreme Court makes it almost impossible for workers who already are paid inequitably to sue for pay discrimination because, as Scalito wrote, "We have previously held that the time for filing a charge of employment discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) begins when the discriminatory act occurs [PDF]". Meaning that, if you find out years later (like most people) that you were paid less or passed by for promotions, you are bound by statutes of limitation and thus cannot sue an employer for discrimination retroactively if it is beyond the 180 to 300 days from the time that the discrimination occurred.
