I think you're misreading the law. I think that it allows for additional
back pay if the discrimination experienced past the end date of the filing period is similar or the same as the discrimination experienced during the filing period. It says that if you miss the filing period, but the discrimination persists, you can get up to two years of back pay. That doesn't seem that egregious to me, and I'm not sure about how effective your "simple strategy" would be. Though I should mention (and the preceding statement might have made it quite obvious) that I'm no lawyer.

The Ledbetter decision was decided correctly and properly frames potential damages and the time frames for correcting any wrong doing. There are often legitimate reasons for pay discrepancies and legitimate reasons to vote against legislation.

Sez you. My small mind is so busy rationalizing my Obama apologetics, I'm having a hard time following your reasoning. It's also still trying to understand the relevance of your statistical magic tricks.
