While I have not been able to read the opinion, the article clearly indicates that the majority author of the opinion, Alito, would like to find any way possible to deny relief to the woman, citing her failure to file a grievance after each and every paycheck. Ginsberg&#39;s heated dissent is right on point and fires back at the all male majority. I think people, including many women and this Supreme Court are far too quick to ignore discrimination against women or simply justify the inequities in the workplace. Frankly, it pisses me off! </p> <p>Read more about the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/washington/30scotuscnd.html?ex=1181102400&amp;en=14a1b2804f2601c0&amp;ei=5070&amp;pagewanted=all&amp;emc=eta-1">Ledbetter v.
