If you're referring to Lily Ledbetter, it was designed to overturn the Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter Vs. Goodyear which made the fair pay act of 1963 much less viable. If you're referring to more recent proposals, they're more or less further protections such as prohibiting employers from penalizing employees for sharing information about their salaries, permitting compensatory and punitive damages, etc. I think that it may be a bit of overkill, but then again, if there was complete compliance, all laws would be redundant.
Making laws off one arguable case makes for bad laws.
No, the answer to a law not being enforced is NOT to make another law. The answer is to enforce the law.
Then you'll be happy to know that in 2010 President Obama created The National Equal Pay Enforcement Task Force which brings together the EEOC, the DOJ, the DOL, and the OPM to enforce the law. NO? I'm not surprised.

I think that is a matter of opinion. There have been so many. I think Dredd Scott would be considered a bad decision by almost everyone today. But how about Brown Vs Board of Education or Citizens United? I think they would have opposing camps still.

I support the administration enforcing the laws. Too bad it so rarely happens.

Her superiors said it was performance based. She said it was because she was a woman. The law never did get decided on that.
Did you bother reading the article I posted? Maybe it's you who is the clinging vine... An anecdotal theory covering 2 occupations is hardly empirical evidence. Hardly worth taking your saviors name in vain...
Oh, okay. The fact that most surgeons are men and that most big-law firm partners are also men is an "anecdotal theory." And if you read some of the comments on that article you'll find many people who wrote the same thing that I did, and point out how that article is bunk.
You see, this is how politicians get away with this sort of demagoguery: by appealing to people who don't even know how to analyze things.

I wouldn't mind Congress saying they won't pass any more laws/spending until the President actually enforces the laws on the book, starting with illegal immigration.

They are too addicted to making new laws and spending money they don't have.
Also what Obama is trying to do is get companies to release salary data. That's invasive.
That's the real crux for the socialist pigs. If they know compensation then they can demagogue and force, though coercion (what governments do best besides war) whoever to explain in public their business decisions (or someone else's decision who no longer works at a company, which includes you if you're reading this) so that every loud mouth liberal rat-finks can make it headlines news on their state run media.
Like with Crackafornia's new "fair" pay law employers can no longer discipline employees who talk about pay amongst themselves. This opens up legal snooping and gossip in the work place sanctioned by the state of Crackafornia and reported to the world via loud mouth liberal rat-finks on Twanker, Fakebook, MyDisgrace and Blogs.
