(molly haskell) there was always this fear that women would get a taste of freedom and never come back. and you sense that, i think. that's one of the core themes in screwball comedy. this starts to sound like it's a political thing, and i don't think it is; i think it's a dramatic thing, it's a character that goes from point a to point b. and i think it reflects, that character arc, ref

mr. burnsendment on the rouse floor, i was not thinking of the way he was addressing me. i was thinking about importance of making sure that this legislation got through with as much clarity as possible so that courts weren't left wondering what the intention of the act was. as a trial lawyer for many, many, many years, i know that courts are frustrated when they have a statute in front of them that doesn't make it clear. and the whole point of our bill was to make sure that the factor other than sex could not be used by an employer to avoid liability for discrimination. mr. burns' statement that i misunderstood or was confused by the language of the bill was in fact mistaken. i think mr. burns himself was confused by the language of the bill or intentionally so. >> susan wild, congresswoman, appreciate you taking time to be with us today. thank you. >> my pleasure. thank you. >>> the charges are dropped but will actor jussie smollett have to pay up? chicago's mayor demands the city recoup more

a similar amendment capping lawyers' contingency fees at 15% was offered by mr. burn when h.r. 7 was considered in committee -- mr. byrne when h.r. 7 was considered in committee. every democrat opposed this modest change. if this amendment is adopted, trial lawyers will somehow have to make do with 49% of the overall judgment. and we all know that trial lawyers siphon off more than this amount in many of their class action cases. victims of true pay discrimination should be the true beneficiaries of any judgment in their favor. this amendment will help ensure this outcome in equal pay act cases. madam speaker, supporters of h.r. 7 say the bill is about helping victims of pay discrimination. if that's true, then all members should support this reasonable proposal. all we're asking is that if our colleagues are so intent on giving trial lawyers a bigger piece of the pie, they consider giving working women more than a few crumbs. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman from virginia.
