Mitch McConnell misses the boat.

from DMI blog:

Mitch McConnell, the Minority Leader in the Senate, recently said, "We think that [the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act] is primarily designed to create a massive amount of new litigation in our country, and I think that is the reason for the resistance to its passage on our side."
The boat on this one is the realization that there is rampant discrimination that needs to be litigated. If it wasn't there, then it there wouldn't be any. People shouldn't be afraid of litigation when they will win. I can sue Mitch tomorrow, doesn't mean I'll win. On the other hand, if he has discriminated against women, then he should be afraid. As should all sexists.
