Good for you, now go back to being retired.

I’m fine with gutting the ADA.

[lastchance]

Frivolous lawsuits have always been a threat to small businesses that can’t afford to fight them. It’s not just the ADA that is used as a launching pad for them. Tort reform is badly needed.

Thanks to the ADA and HIPAA I can tell stores I have a medical condition that precludes me from wearing a mask and they can’t force me to tell them what it is. :)

Thanks to the ADA they can’t keep me out of the store. :)

Fun Dip Orrin Hatch.

What partnership? The government was always the one with the big stick here.

[chuckee]

The ADA actually created the opposite effect of its original intention to have more disabled people employed. Employers were not stupid and came to realize if they hired a disabled person they were also taking on the risk of being sued by the Feds under the ADA act if the disabled person was not up to the job and they had to terminate him. There is less of a percent of disabled people in the work force now after the ADA than before. Get rid of it.

“Orrin Hatch: Future of Americans With Disabilities Act ‘Uncertain”

That should be...”Future of Americans Uncertain”

[Stingray51]

The ADA, signed into law by Establishmentarian and non-conservative Bush the Elder, was a massive power grab by the federal government. If we cannot trust states even to make good decisions about the allocation of parking spots, then we might as well replace elected state governments with appointed federal bureaucrats.

[Mr. K]

if given a choice between getting rid of ADA or getting tort reform (especially loser pays) I would pick tort reform any day

The Utah Republican, who went across the aisle to work with Democrats to pass the ADA about 30 years ago, wrote about the importance of securing the law’s “legacy for the next 30 years. This will require nurturing the partnership between business owners and persons with disabilities that helped lift the ADA across the finish line.”

Hmmm...do you suppose that was one of those infamous Kennedy-Hatch bills?

One more thing...I know words have no set meaning now, but when did "Holding a gun to someone's head" become a partnership?
