Ledbetter v Goodyear

The LAT editorializes this morning on the Ledbetter case and predictably takes the liberal side. The LAT believes the conservative majority on the Supreme Court erred in strictly interpreting the law Congress wrote. They insist that the court should have taken into account "real-world facts" and ruled for Ledbetter. The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer took the same position last night. But these news organizations should look to Congress instead of the courts to resolve issues of "real-world facts." The court's job is to interpret the law, not change it. Justice Ginsberg said as much in her minority opinion.
