Comments on: About Reunify Gally http://reunifygally.wordpress.com Mobilizing Support for the ADA Restoration Act of 2007.

Chamberlain http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/about/#comment-14659 Peter S. Chamberlain Sat, 12 Jan 2008 23:33:38 +0000 #comment-14659 Will someone please explain to me, as a qualified individual with or perceived as having vision and other disabilities, why the ADA Restoration Act as introduced in both houses does not address the contention of Texas Attorney general Greg Abbott, whose campaign and official Web sites feature him in his wheelchair and his alleged and purported support for the ADA and Texas' Disability Committee, and others, adopted in some courts, that, even after Tennessee v. Lane, Title II of the ADA dealing with state governmental entities violates the eleventh Amendment and common law comity and sovereign and official immunity, notwithstanding the Fourteenth Amednment and Sec. 5 thereof adopted later, and is unconstitutioanl and void? While we're at it, why is not Garrett v. Trustees of Univ. of Alabama, which efectively gutted much of Title I, included in the list of cases the bill is intended to overrule? These are of great importance to me personally. One Texas federal case found that anyone who has ever either (a) had, OR (b) been diagnosed with, OR (c) been treate for, a list of actual or alleged mental disorders, constitutes substantial evidence of permanent disqualification from the practice of law, and that even ten years without a problem is no evidence to the contrary as a matter of law. Now think! Who is "treated for" something with which they were not "diagnosed," much less did not "have"? and what woudl that prove except malpractice? I can't afford hte commercial reporters and am having trouble tracking cases of which I have read. By the way, does anybody have easy access to a list of House and Senate members who voted for, and against, the original ADA? I need some legla help and expert testimony on some legal ehtics issues and nobody here will touch this . I'm starting a blog, currently on BlogSpot, and will be posting re ADA and ADA Restoration Act, etc., but I'm new to blogging. Should I post on my own blog, on another blog or blogs--and which?, or both?
