1990 American with Disabilities Act

I KNEW this law would turn into a lawyers dream..

That damn OldBob Dole rises from the grave once again to inflict harm and expense.

Food Stamps and the ADA - OldBob's two proudest "accomplishments", according to him.

Regarding the law, Scalia's right: the court overreached (duh!) in finding authority for this.

Regarding the result, it seems good to force foreign-flag ships to submit to the same regs as US-flag vessels.

WTG Kangaroo Court!

Run another barely-surviving business into the ground.

Who needs to take a cruise anyway?

The SC is becoming just another symbol of offical corruption and a petty desire to rule over others. The whole system is losing its legitimacy, in my view.

All disabilities are equal... but some disabilities are more equal than others.

My attorney, the esteemed Sidney Whiplash has quit taking my calls and his answer machine has someone singing "Oh What a Beautiful Day".

On second thought, it sounds a lot like Sidney.

The ADA continues to be a disaster and an impediment to the employment of the disabled.

Man, we're really batting a thousand today, aren't we?

The judicial tyrany continues and now extends beyond our own borders. This is exactly what Ginsburg was after when she started quoting international bodies in her decisions. Not only does she want the US to submit to international law, but now she wants other countries to submit, unfailingly to ours.

"...absolute power corrupts absolutely" --Lord Acton

Congress should censure this kind of renegade action by the court. We need and other Judiciary Act of 1801 where congress reduced the size of the Supreme Court. Do they not know that they have the power to do that?!

Kick the bums out!

This is a good thing. I was really worried about John Edwards having something to do, once the election was over.

"The Supreme Court, expanding the scope of a landmark federal disabilities law, ruled Monday that foreign cruise lines sailing in U.S. waters must provide better access for passengers in wheelchairs."

Aside from the fact that their maybe a "jurisdictional" issue, the ADA law is inherently unconstitutional.

Since is "takes" money from the owner to alter their facility to accommodate "passengers in wheelchairs," without compensating the owners for the taking the law is unconstitutional.

Amendment V

nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

Justice Stevens, in Nixon v. Shrink, 2000, states:

"I make on simple point. Money is property."
