(Lockwood’s case illustrates the productive dialogue sometimes carried on between the Court and Congress. It shows, too, that Congress sometimes is more in tune with changing times than the Court is. Think of Lilly Ledbetter’s case. The Court, five to four, said Ledbetter sued too late. I dissented, saying the Court got it wrong, and Congress should fix it. Congress did, enacting the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in record time.)
