ADA Restoration Passes the House!
As reported in many places, H.R. 3195, the ADA Amendments Act, formerly ADA Restoration Act, passed the house today 402 to 17. Seventeen “esteemed” members of Congress decided people with disabilities did not need the ADA to be interpreted as it was intended instead of wrongly as the Supreme Court has done. Who are these 17 “honorable” members of Congress? They are:
- Paul Broun (R-19th GA)
- John Campbell (R-44th CA)
- John Doolittle (R-4th CA)
- John Duncan (R-2nd TN)
- Jeff Flake (R-6th AZ)
- Scott Garrett (R-5th NJ)
- Louie Gohmert (R-1st TX)
- Jeb Hensarling (R-5th TX)
- Jack Kingston (R-1st GA)
- John Linder (R-7th GA)
- Kenny Marchant (R-24th TX)
- Ron Paul (R-14th TX) * So much for me liking this guy!
- Ted Poe (R-2nd TX)
- Tom Price (R-6th GA)
- Thomas Tancredo (R-6th CO)
- Dave Weldon (R-15th FL)
- Lynn Westmoreland (R-3rd GA)
And, look, they are all Republicans…
