Well, I read the Martin case. That was decided under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In that sense, it was different than a lot of the 14th Amendment cases in which the judiciary finds that a state statute is unconstitutional. In Martin, the court was just applying a statute that was passed by Congress. For its part, Congress claimed it was acting under the constitutional authority granted to it by both the Fourteenth Amendment and the commerce clause.
