Yep, just like the Americans with Disabilities Act has been used by lawyers and wheelchair "victims" to enrich themselves and hurt others.
Exactly. I do honestly believe it was conceived of with the best intentions. But amoral and immoral individuals have so abused it, and used it as justification for every civil dispute under the sun, that it's become a meaningless tool to justify the beginning of a tyranny of the federal government, and perpetuate the quagmirifcation (if I can invent such a word) of the legal system.
If the average American knew how many of his freedoms have been stolen by lawyer leeches, and how many of his dollars have been unnecessarily funneled into their pockets, they would be horrified.
