Support:Quotes by Lilly Ledbetter,Michelle Obama.Previous responses form Supreme Court justices Samuel Alito and Ruth Bader Ginsberg,also Bush administration.They work to show the long process it took to make this bill come into play, after the court ruled against it and the Bush admin ignored it.

Source Analysis: CNN.com is easily accessed by web for up to date news feeds coming form Washington.Not always presenting all sides of the story,but this particular piece was fairly balanced.

Usefulness:This piece gave me more background into the previous Supreme Court decision, which will give me more directions to go in subsequent research.It was created to cover the facts of the bill and the background.There were compelling arguments presented as to why the bill did not happen sooner.
