On March 29, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Dukes vs. Walmart. Betty Dukes is a 61-year-old Walmart greeter from California who says she has been discriminated against on the basis of her gender. She is not alone. Millions of women who have worked at Walmart may be become part of Dukes' class action. But the Supreme Court will not be deciding the merits of the case - rather what's at stake is the definition of what a class action can be. And that has everyone from big business to civil rights lawyers very invested in the outcome. And, as Col. Muammar Qaddafi shores up his defenses, but further weakens his international standing, we investigate a new kind of government that is rapidly burgeoning in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. Hundreds have signed up for a boot camp designed to bolster the expected assault on Tripoli. For the first time rebel military and political leaders reveal to us their current strategy and what they envision for the country's future.
