we have the ledbetter act -- will we get it? >> we have breadbox-ballot box -- you have to find people who support what we believe in. we passed the ledbetter act, but ended by the repeal of don't ask don't tell, both ending discrimination. at the same time, at the leadership -- with the leadership of rosa delauro, we passed the equal pay legislation in the house. the senate requires 60 votes, so a majority was not enough. we could not pastorate. ss it.f -- past i in the next congress, we want to talk about equal jobs and equal pay. part of that will be to have the agenda of equareform in our sys. reform the system, he let people of any party who -- i let people of any party willing to make that change. -- elect people willing ot make that change/ >> yes or no, are we going off a fiscal cliff in the lame-duck session? >> we cannot. we are not going to do it. the congress will come around and be responsible. yes, no? >> i cannot answer for mr. baker and the -- mr. gaynor and butehner and the rest, we need to work together in a ba

pay act and the reason why it was so significant is lee ledbetter who's a terrific advocate on who istraveling the country talking about equal pay not because she's going to benefit because her case went all the way it to the supreme court and she lost in her dillinger was she worked in the company for years. she wasn't being paid equally. she didn't know she wasn't being paid equally by the way along was written you only have a certain period of time from the time you actually are receiving lowercase. it doesn't matter whether you love it or not so we said look, you shouldn't have the clock start to take so when you have an awareness of it with the paycheck fairness would due in part is to say can you tell me how much you make so we can't discriminate against that we're talking about our pay because it is only way you know if you are getting paid equally or not. >> that it's okay. it's okay. i think it's important that we have a president that's fighting hard to make sure the laws are in place so that you can enforce equal pay. so what we are getting it is that you also have to be yo

california grape grower kim ledbetter farms the land. >> i'm thinking i'd like about -- >> allison crowe deborah, drawing on her marketing experience -- >> a nice letter from hillary clinton. >> acts as the company's traveling salesperson. >> these are going to open up and start flowering very soon. >> together, they're hoping to make a statement in a traditionally male-dominated industry. >> the name women in the vine, on purpose, it's not brenner family vineyards or anything. it's not about that. it's plural. it's about all of the women breaking the glass ceiling in the industry. >> that collaborative spirit is what drew allison crowe to women of the vine. >> was there something that seemed like it would be more fun to be in a group of women winemakers? >> when women get together, there's more collaboration and less ego involved. i think that can be a good thing when you're trying to get smart business decisions made. >> our approach is that we grow the best grapes we can. >> deborah's leadership efforts have drawn the attention of women outside the world of wine. in 2009 she received

than any other man ever or something, just like they did two years ago when they passed the lee ledbetterct, but i think it's all nonsense. if you're getting paid $5,000 less than your mail counterpart , then you need to be asking for $15,000 more. the best wishes of that is to get yourself a negotiating coach, asked for what you need it, what you deserve, and do not go to the speaker of the house and ask to pass a bill. cost-benefit analysis, a bad way to go about doing it. it goes for men as well. women have more problems in that situation asking for money, pushing back. if you get a coach who was it your home and before the game and get you ready to go-- who will hit your helmet, it will pay dividends throughout your career. i did it years ago. i have different negotiations every single day. every time i am not for a job, we do the peptalk. what are you going to ask for? i don't know. it works. it is a favor i have done myself and i encourage everyone else to give it a try. it can just be a friend. it does not have to be a class. it will help you. it's your right to go into a room and

so the first law he signed was the lilly ledbetter fair pay act to help ensure that women are paid the for doing the exact same work. because president obama knows that fairness for women means a stronger middle class for america. [ obama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message. >>> straight ahead at 8:00, mid- summer misery. another day of temperatures pushing triple digits and another day without power for more than half million people. >> plus, the rising death toll, storm damage estimates, and traffic impact from friday's severe weather. fox5 is live across the region with the information you need to know. good morning, i'm tony perkins. >> i'm alison seymour. this morning d.c., maryland and virginia are all under states of emergency as the region continues to clean up after friday's damaging down fall. the storm is being blamed for at least 17 deaths nationwide and at least seven in our region, while crews continue to get the lights on for hundreds of thousands. transportation crews are bracing for what could be a rough ride to work. hundreds of traffic lights still out, and

he wrote the 5-4 opinion in the lily ledbetter case. i think he viewed it as a matter of statutory construction. you have to file within 180 days. he wrote this opinion. i think he was unaware until that day that ruth ginsberg was coined to deliver on oral dissent. she really delivered a zinger at him and the court that suggested they were blind to the idea that women were being underpaid. they had no idea that the men were making a lot more. the court was, in effect, countenancing that, and congress needed to step in and change the law, which they did. i am told that alito found that a welcome to the supreme court. [laughter] >> another fight with an oral dissent, the plea bargaining cases back in march -- i was out of the country, so i did not see the decisions or press can't bridge -- press coverage at the time. it strikes me that maybe after health care of those might be the most important decisions of the term, in the sense of how much future litigation they will spawn and how many people they will affect, since plea bargaining is

"we have to challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign." newt gingrich, who was also there, said, and he was prophetic, "you will remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sewn." mitch mcconnell said, "the single most important we w
