At least part of the damage that the Bush administration has done has come from executive directed omissions to enforce legislative acts. Things like the signing statements, weird supreme court decisions handed down by politicalized right wing justices and politicalization of the justice department have resulted in many laws on the books being watered down or ignored. Tomorrow, the house of representatives will take up legislation to strengthen and enforce the fair pay legislations, which will belatedly attempt to insure the right to sue for equal pay for equal work. It is about time that we started trying to enter the latter half of the 20th century on this. It is essentially spelled out in the constitution. Now is a good time to start enforcing the basic fairness laws of the land. Here is a link to a place where you can mail your congressperson's email box.
