It's Time for Republicans to Denounce Trump

It isn't difficult to point out racism and bigotry or say it's a bad thing. It's time for Republican to show some actual courage and moral integrity, and publicly denounce Trump. Who could have ever imagined that WWII would be erased by a man so ignorant, he doesn't know the difference between George Washington and Robert E. Lee. He has spit on the graves of every brave man, woman and child who fought against slavery, fascism and the Nazis, and spit on the graves of the many millions the Nazis, fascists and white supremacists have murdered. Without denouncing Trump, Republicans are giving their tacit approval to his reprehensible actions and they have blood on their hands.

In a 2015 decision by a lower court, U. S. Magistrate Michael Seng ruled that women's lower prior salaries are likely due to discrimination based on gender bias.

This ruling was overturned by the 9th Circuit. In citing a 1982 ruling, the three-judge panel wrote employers could use previous salary information as long as they applied it "reasonably" (quotations mine) and had a business policy that justified it.

This ruling institutionalizes wage discrimination against women by permitting past wage discrimination to be a reason for new discrimination. Justice for all?
