This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,4, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the role of the U.S. Supreme Court in national policy-making, particularly focusing on disability rights as shaped by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It analyzes the Court's influence through the lens of the policy cycle, emphasizing the stages of agenda-setting and policy implementation. The paper concludes that the Supreme Court has significantly impacted the interpretation and application of the ADA, often narrowing the definition of "disability" and influencing legislative amendments such as the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. The Court's decisions reflect its role in shaping national policy beyond mere judicial review, highlighting its active involvement in defining disability rights in the United States. First, the commonly applied concept of the policy cycle is introduced which divides the policy process into five phases. Second, the paper presents a concise overview of Dahl’s research regarding the U.S. Supreme Court as being an actor in national policy-making. The author’s research is focused on as it belongs to the pioneering works in this field and looks beyond the Court’s right of judicial review which clearly enables the judiciary to overturn congressional acts by Constitution. Third, the legislative summary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 points out the act’s strengths and weaknesses. The latter building the basis for several lawsuits following the ADA’s adoption. Fourth, the role of the Supreme Court in the policy making process of the ADA is examined more thoroughly. It remains to be examined how actively the Supreme Court affected the main piece of legislation dealing with disability rights. Last, the conclusion summarizes the arguments made and provides a condensed answer to the research question of this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was formally a Federal Employee who was discriminated against by my employer. I filed a total of seven (7) EEO grievances against the Federal Government. When the administrative remedies failed, I filed suit in Federal Court. One of my cases made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. I subsequently won all my cases that turned out to be one of the largest settlements in history. It took me five years to win all my cases. The 2000 Federal Census claims that there are over 146 million employed people in the U.S. and every 3 seconds one of them is discriminated against. I wanted to let these people know what happened to me, and if they are experiencing the same treatment, they have Civil Rights and can fight back. My CO-workers and even a Federal Judge told me that I should write a book. So I wrote a tell all book in detail on this very serious problem facing the employed people of this country. This book is a tell all book about what happened to me and how I fought back. The next book will explain just how I legally did it. It took me five years to win, but what I know today; I can help any employee in the United States do it in less then 2 years.

Download or read book Disabling Interpretations written by Susan Gluck Mezey and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2005-07-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 was intended to send a clear message to society that discrimination on the basis of disability is unacceptable. As with most civil rights laws, the courts were given primary responsibility for implementing disability rights policy.Mezey argues that the act has not fulfilled its potential primarily because of the judiciary's "disabling interpretations" in adjudicating ADA claims. In the decade of litigation following the enactment of the ADA, judicial interpretation of the law has largely constricted the parameters of disability rights and excluded large numbers of claimants from the reach of the law. The Supreme Court has not interpreted the act broadly, as was intended by Congress, and this method of decision making was for the most part mirrored by the courts below. The high court's rulings to expand state sovereign immunity and insulate states from liability in damage suits has also caused claimants to become enmeshed in litigation and has encouraged defendants to challenge other laws affecting disability rights. Despite the law's strong civil rights rhetoric, disability rights remain an imperfectly realized goal.

The presentation style (concise and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the field as a whole.
