The boutique Avanti Hotel is known for its poolside, dog-friendly rooms. Yet its website uses the valuable opening page not to highlight the Palm Springs inn’s amenities, but to explain, in stark black letters on a plain white background, that the Avanti violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Kayla Reed who would never patronize one of these businesses but is with her lawyer mining the system.
No delegated power given the federal for the ADA,
We need to slap down Arbitrary government and make a complete end of it.
Remove the profiteering aspect from such frivolous lawsuits.
and if is not a patron of any of the businesses she should be smacked down and told she has no standing to make such a complaint.
As lawyers multiply they need to mess more stuff up to remain employable.
It’s a trait shared with few other professions, such as social workers.
So a Democrat Congress passes a stupid, onerous law known as the Americans with Disabilities Act ... a Republican president signs it ... and then more than 25 years later, Congress asks the Department of Justice to adopt a set of regulations to avoid the problems with a proliferation of lawsuits?
LMAO.
I have a better idea, Congress: Either repeal the ADA, or you adopt the regulations -- through legislation -- that you're calling on the DOJ to adopt.
Now everyone gets to pay and get screwed.
I need to get back into 501- and 503-C compliance.
There’s money to be made.
The herd of lawyers need to be culled.
“Kayla Reed who would never patronize one of these businesses but is with her lawyer mining the system.”
You are correct! A simple search shows twin parasites Kayla & her lawyer has been suing all kinds of businesses. Like CVS and Ace Hardware
They tried to sue over American currency - saying blind people could not read the numbers on it.
Next deaf people will sue the trains, saying they cannot hear the trains coming.
A couple new ones for the CWII target list.
Actually, the only way to break the power of the profession is to reduce the marketable value of their skills and by this time that would take making the functional equivalent of a pre-law degree a “you cannot graduate without this” aspect of K12 education.
This is because the legal profession has already so broken the law that folks basically need lawyers to talk to other lawyers for them in many instances. Unlike when this country was founded, when Law was among the few degrees available and yet few could make a living at it because the Law itself wasn’t obscure and deformed yet, at this time if we culled the herd that would only give the surviving lawyers even more power over the law, and therefore us.
Essentially, a Law that ordinary people cannot understand (save in inaccurate platitudes and mischaracterizations) is a fount for tyranny. The world where many bad things happened but government couldn’t stop it because there were no laws, where everything was permitted unless specifically forbidden, may have had bad things but it was much more free. In contrast our current system, which has become predicated on the idea that everything is forbidden unless it is permitted (and regulated), may have fewer bad things happen but it is much less free and burdened by a class of unproductive and counterproductive busy bodies that produce nothing.
Since lawyers have broken the law, we cannot unbreak it, they won’t let us. Diluting the value of their skills is a “the only way out is through” solution. It at least would equip ordinary citizens to deal with the complicated law.
These lawsuits have been going on for a long long time in SoCal, they are a all SCAMS
Yes. It seems much of what comes out of Congress could be called Full Employment for Lawyers acts.
While I don’t like ambulance chasers or government regulation, it’s not hard to build a website that’s “accessible” and is simply good practice. We’ve got plenty of vets that are vision or hearing impaired. In fact, one just got elected.
Accessibility is one of the reasons Flash based web pages are no longer used. Flash can’t be interpreted by browsers and browser tools used by the impaired. Security is the bigger reason though.
Hmmm, I wonder how “accessible” twitter is
And folks wonder why we can’t have nice things.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
This was right around the same time a prominent California law firm went belly-up and disbanded because they couldn't stay in business even after laying everyone off except the partners.
Shakespeare had an effective solution.
