Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing to Look at Recent
Supreme Court Decisions
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing this Wednesday, October 7, with the idea of examining recent discrimination decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court. According to the webpage for the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, this hearing is billed as one on: “Workplace Fairness: Has the Supreme Court Been Misinterpreting Laws Designed to Protect American Workers from Discrimination?”
The witnesses listed on the Committee’s webpage include Jamie Leigh Jones of Spring, Texas, Jack Gross of Des Moines, Iowa, and Professor Michael Foreman who is the Director of the Civil Rights Appellate Clinic at the Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University.
A staff member with the majority office said such legislation as the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act might be examined at the hearing with other recent Supreme Court discrimination decisions to be scrutinized depending upon the testimony of witnesses called.
The Judiciary Committee certainly appears to be positioning itself to forge legislative change with the idea of eradicating perceived judicial misinterpretations of certain discrimination laws.
