. . . and I’m not complaining! Yesterday (September 17), the House of Representatives overwhelming voted (i.e., unanimously) in favor of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act of 2008 as it was passed back to them from the Senate! Furthermore, both the House and the Senate NAILED the Supreme Court for their bigotry in “creating” their own version of the ADA by ignoring the intent of Congress when the ADA was first passed back in 1990. Congress also blasted away at the Supreme Court for their egregious rulings that not only ignored the intent of the ADA but that have subsequently harmed millions of Americans. There are few times when Congress gets something right and this time they came through with flying colors! Bravo to both the House and the Senate (although the Senate took far too LONG to get off their duffs and pass the bill that was sent to them by the house THREE MONTHS AGO). Just the same, the end result is what was important and the rights of those with disabilities have been restored (unless, of course, other bigoted judges or the Supreme Court decide to make up their own laws again).
