I recalled the ADA act being challenged in court many times and the law being mostly upheld until the last several years when some provisions were weakened by a much more conservative Supreme Court.



Wrong. It was not weakened. It was affirmed, as to what was meant by the law. It was liberal nonsense that was stopped. People wanted to expand it to make companies do things that made no sense.

For example, asking businesses to install wheel chair ramps in places where no wheel chair could even be allowed because of the danger to the work environment and to other employees. That is just plain stupid. Every floor does not mean every floor - only an idiot thinks that. It means every floor on which a wheel chair can function safely.

Asking community pools, regardless of size, to install wheel chair access in pools where there were no wheel chair-bound members in the entire town. Just as stupid., especially when the ramp installation cost is 120% of the annual operating budget of the entire pool operation. Some people tried to get pools shut down in entire communities because of that. Silly - for a ramp the town budget could not even support. Brilliant - stop swimming for all kids for no one.

Having braille signs in labs and buildings that no blind person is allowed to enter because of the danger of knocking over explosive chemicals or breaking a vile of a dangerous virus. Yeah right - spending $15K on signs that would never be used in an entire building.

These are but three examples. There are tons more.
