Clinton and Obama will return to the Senate tomorrow to vote on a bill challenging a Supreme Court ruling on equal pay.

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in Ledbetter vs Goodyear that lawsuits claiming pay discrimination had to follow Equal Employment Opportunity Commission procedures and be filed within 180 days of when the employer first gave Ms. Ledbetter her check. The legislation would allow the 180-day-clock to run each time a paycheck is received.

Tomorrow’s vote is only procedural, requiring 60 votes to advance the bill. It’s unlikely supporters will muster that many votes, let alone the 67 needed to overcome the president’s veto threat.

The timing of the vote is unknown, but hope to have a better sense of things later this afternoon.
