Court sides with employer in Ledbetter pay bias case
The Supreme Court, in a 5 4 ruling, limited ledbetter style pay discrimination claims by requiring a 180 day deadline to sue under civil rights law. Lilly Ledbetter, a Goodyear supervisor in Alabama, earned $45,000 while men in similar roles earned more, but the court upheld that late claims cannot proceed.

Critics say Darfur sanctions fall short in impact
Washington critics say President Bush’s new sanctions target three individuals and about 30 Sudanese firms but come after years of rhetoric. They question effectiveness, noting 200,000 killed and 2.5 million displaced since February 2003, with activists like John Prendergast urging tougher action.

Darfur Crisis Criticized Over Lack of Multilateral Pressure
Rep Tom Lantos condemned the inadequate international response to Darfur. He faulted Bush for not sending a stronger message months earlier while noting U S efforts at the U N Security Council and the presence of special envoys. The conflict began with rebel moves in Darfur and Khartoum backed by janjaweed retaliation. The violence includes murder rape mutilation and plunder as Sudanese leaders face accusations. The United States remains the largest single donor to Darfur.
