(42,690 posts)Lily Ledbetter equal pay legislation. Removal of restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. Iran agreement. Expansion of SCHIP program. Net neutrality rules. Affirmation of authority of voters to move redistricting from legislature to independent commission. Affirmation that housing discrimination lawsuits can proceed without proof of intentional bias against minorities. Invalidation of a law requiring hotels to maintain a guest register subject to police inspection at any time.
