Party Line Vote: Lilly Ledbetter

We will be discussing parties in Congress, including the tendency of recent Congress' to divide cleanly parties when they vote (party line voting).

The recent votes on the Lilly Ledbetter Act almost perfectly divided along party lines. The civil rights conscious Democrats on one side, the pro-business Republicans on the other.

The House Vote.
The Senate Vote.
