President Obama signs the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009

Earlier today, President Barack Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Here are the statements by President Obama, The First Lady, Michelle Obama, and Lilly Ledbetter from the signing ceremony, along with a copy of the law. The Act, as many know, overturns the U. S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 550 U.S. 618 (2007). The Act is the first bill that President Obama signed into law. Craig Estlinbaum Adjunct Law Prof Blog
