U.S. Supreme Court justices appeared divided and uncertain Wednesday in a potential landmark case from Georgia involving state governments' duties to the mentally ill. Olmstead v. L.C tests whether states that provide treatment for the mentally ill must offer community-based facilities to people who don't require institutionalization. It marks the first time the court has been asked to rule on the question of what services states must offer the mentally ill under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
