User Clip: 090115 Cornyn Mentioned His Daughters While Opposing Ledbetter Act

"Indeed, I mentioned a moment ago I am the father of two daughters, now 27 and 26. Many small businesses that are created in America today are headed up by women. Indeed, we need to make sure those small businesses have some certainty, have some rules they can rely on in terms of knowing when they are likely going to be sued. I think the Ledbetter Act could more appropriately be called a trial lawyer bailout because, of course, it is premised on the idea that one can slumber on their rights and never have to assert them and, indeed, fight an uneven fight because those who have to defend against them can no longer defend against them because the witnesses are no longer available." close
