FIVE 5-4 DECISIONS BY JUSTICE ALITO
Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber, 2007. Lilly Ledbetter’s lawsuit alleging pay discrimination against women was thrown out because it was not filed within 180 days. Congress changed the law in 2008, and President Obama signed it upon taking office in 2009.
McDonald v. City of Chicago, 2010. Americans’ right under the Second Amendment to keep guns at home for self-defense applies to states as well as the federal government.
Clapper v. Amnesty International USA, 2013. Human rights activists and others cannot challenge a law that helps the government intercept international communications because they can’t show they were injured.
