Court hears ADA case on access and state immunity
The Supreme Court considers Tennessee v Lane to decide if the Americans with Disabilities Act allows private suits for inaccessible state court buildings. The justices weigh Congress power, state sovereignty, and remedies for humiliation faced by George Lane, who lacks an elevator at a Polk County courthouse. The decision could set a major precedent on disability rights and sovereign immunity.
