The court will side with Walmart: The law requires class actions to "represent a coherent group of plaintiffs" with common claims and zero conflict, says Daniel Fisher at Forbes. Walmart's "powerful argument" is that its female workforce is "internally fractured," with female executives who supposedly discriminated against other women, and "hundreds of thousands of women who suffered no discrimination."
"Walmart vs. Dukes ask courts to fix the world"
But the court's three women may make a difference: Most people contend that "big business never loses at the Roberts court," says Dahlia Lithwick at Slate's Double X blog. But that assumption ignores the three female justices serving on the current court. This case might be an "early litmust test" for whether Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elena Kagan "shape the debate about gender discrimination."
"Walmart going to the high court"
Walmart has already won a partial victory by stalling: No matter what the court says, says Andrew Cohen at The Atlantic, Walmart has already "succeeded in blunting the force of the allegations against it" by creating a "breathtaking pretrial delay." It's been more than a decade since Betty Dukes originally brought the discrimination case against Walmart, and it is still "nowhere near trial." Even if the justices rule in favor of Dukes, "it could easily take another 11 years, or longer, to finally resolve this case."

Walmart discriminated and the Supreme Court will let them get away with it. If this COURT OF RIGHT-WING KANGAROOS can say deliberately hiding evidence that keeps a man wrongly imprisoned for 18 years is okay (no harm, no foul I believe is their underlying legal basis), then I have no problem believing they will say 2 million women are mistaken...or, at the very least, having feminine "monthly visits" at the same time.
These women already lost when they thought they'd go to the Supreme Court and receive equal justice under the law. Not happenin'.

this is true. my grandma was a manager at walmart for years... she told me before that they expect the women there to be mostly cashiers because women are just there to earn a second, more supplementary income for the household. they do not take single mothers into consideration, and men are much more likely to rise up the ranks.

Walmart is elitist to the core, a fact that probably has papa Walton spinning in his grave. They are prejudiced against everyone that isn't rich, white and republican. They only tolerate the few white male hired guns at the top because they must have someone to carry out their programs. Everything Walmart should be boycotted!. Target is less expensive now anyway, according to recent press.

Meme this meme that, heres the new meme folks, and one that isn't colorful, artistic or humorous. Its the flat out truth, any of our officials or elitists who act with willful or reasoned fashion that outside the best interest of American and therefor America are henceforth to be termed "Treasonists". Have fun with it, its broabspectrum, it works on both sides of the isle, in every boardroom across the country, on main streets in most average american towns, in television news rooms, and everywhere the socialites gather.
TREASONISTS!

DO NOT SHOP AT WALMART! The money you save by not warming up your car in the morning for 1 year will cover any "savings" you may lose.

Many years ago a friend worked for Walmart...she actually worked two jobs as a single (divorced) mom supporting two very bright little girls. Walmart was just a few blocks away from her place so that's one of the reasons she took a job there.
She often talked about the discrimination against their female employees and how management routinely turned a blind eye to the complaints.
