John A. Beranbaum, an attorney at Beranbaum Menken Ben-Asher & Bierman, writes: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was a failed law. Its stated purpose was "to provide consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities." However, the ADA resulted in years of litigation that, rather than clarifying appropriate nondiscriminatory standards, was mired down in defining "disability" and ascertaining who is covered by the statute. Worse, in a series of decisions construing "disability" very narrowly, the Supreme Court inappropriately denied the ADA's protections to a wide swath of individuals. Now Congress has sought to breathe life again into the ADA by enacting the ADA Amendment Act of 2008.
