Two weeks ago, the court limited workers' ability to sue for pay discrimination, ruling against a Goodyear employee who earned thousands of dollars less than her male counterparts but waited too long to complain. The overtime case was brought by lawyers for Evelyn Coke, a 73-year-old retiree who spent more than two decades in the home care industry helping the ill and the elderly.

Now in failing health, Coke said her employer never paid her time and a half for all her extra hours on the job. Lawyers for Coke challenged the Labor Department regulation and the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City ruled in the workers' favor. The Appeals Court said it was "implausible" that Congress would have wanted the Labor Department to wipe out protection for an entire category of workers. I personally feel the Supreme Court was "wrong about what Congress intended.

In New York City, the annual cost of the Medicaid-funded Personal Care Services Program would rise by at least a quarter of a billion dollars if the Appeals Court decision is allowed to stand The Personal Care Services program pays 90 private companies to send 60,000 home attendants to the homes of low-income elderly and disabled.

Once again the Bush Supreme Court rules in favor of big business and hurts the working poor. Its so sad that that so many citizens in America are going to suffer as a result of Bush, his administration, his appointed Supreme Court and their combined policies. My heart just aches for these suffering people that are victims of his policies, I get angry, I get active and politically involved the best my abilities allow, but we must do it united and together in solidarity. It is imperative that we take a stand and fight, we must take back America from the all too powerful big business elitists before its too late! We must do everything possible to ensure victory over the rebublican neocon globalists in 2008, I know I will, I humbly and respectfully urge all my friends to as well.
