Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Actually, if some of you have been keeping up with the government posts that Tia and I have posted on here - the Bush administration had appointed a number of ANTI-ADA justices onto the various Circuit Courts throughout the United States - including Sutton and Bill Pryor. Sutton and Pryor have extensive records advocating for clients that went AGAINST cases of the disabled (and won a number of them). So, no, Bush hasn't " directly " tinkered with the ADA, but he's definitely put some set-backs for the disabled in other ways. Some of those judicial nominees were the reason why the Senate Judiciary Committee " took cots out to their chambers " during the voting a couple of months ago - and why some Democrats tried to filibuster some of those nominees. Most to all (I don't remember) of Bush's nominees were appointed into their respective circuit courts. These appointments won't greatly affect us. However for some of you, the next time you want to say - take on your old company for " disabilility discrimination " - depending on which state you reside in, watch out.

The ADA was signed into law in 1990 under President Bush (Sr.). > > While Jr. may not be paragon of civil rights, at least he hasn't monkeyed with the old man's legacy. In fact, much of the assistive technology on the market today was developed by the Department of Defense. > > -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
