I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that the Ledbetter decision hinged on good law.
It seems like you've formed your opinion based on secondary and third party sources, rather than primary ones.
How could Ledbetter sue for damages any earlier than she knew she had been payed inappropriately?
Maybe she wasn't discriminated against, but her suit couldn't even go forward to determine that since the justices focused on the statute of limitations. A number of crimes don't have statute of limitations for good reasons, and there are good reasons for maintaining statutes of limitations in other cases, but I'm not sure how you justify barring people from suing for redress within a reasonable time when they learn a potential harm has been done to them.
