1. How does the Ledbetter case highlight the challenges of legislating, implementing and litigating pay equity in the workplace?
2. How does Justice Ginsburg's dissent in Ledbetter demonstrate the power and influence of an individual Supreme Court Justice and the relationship between the other branches of government?
3. Justice Ginsburg was the only female sitting on the Supreme Court at the time of Ledbetter. Would the legal outcome of the Ledbetter case been different, if there were other women or a majority of women serving as Supreme Court Justices? Should the gender of the Justices matter in the outcome of cases?
4. How do Justice Ginsburg's career experiences as an ACLU attorney inform her dissent? Would the outcome of Ledbetter case been different, if there were other Justices whose career experiences directly applied to the case (also considering that Justice Thomas headed up the EOEC before becoming a Justice)?
