Editorial: ‘Unimpaired rights’
July 6th, 2008From the Washington Post:
Thanks to a “remarkably cooperative effort by businesses and advocates of protections for the disabled,” an effort to expand ADA protections has passed the House and is expected to clear the Senate soon. The measure will recognize civil rights for people with disabilities, and instruct the Supreme Court to interpret the definition of disability more broadly. The changes will provide more opportunities for people with disabilities to seek protection without putting an undue burden on employers.
Although President Bush has expressed concerns that excess litigation may ensue, he is unlikely to veto the bill, nor should he.
