OA151: Equal Access, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and HR 620
Today's episode takes a look at HR 620.\xa0 What does it mean, and why does Congress want to make changes to one of the most successful, bipartisan, and beloved pieces of legislation in the past 30 years? First, though, the guys update\xa0 break down a recent decision from the Eastern District of New York also enjoining Trump's rescission of DACA.\xa0 Why did a second court block Trump's order?\xa0 Listen and find out! During the main segment, Andrew walks us through the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act and what restrictions HR 620 would impose on would-be plaintiffs.\xa0 Is it as bad as people are saying?\xa0 (Hint:\xa0 yes.) After that,\xa0 we answer a somewhat off-the-wall question from listener Mark Lunn that's a follow-up to Episode 147 with Lucien Greaves. Finally, we end\xa0with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #64 about dog law, accidental trespass, and... well, you'll just have to listen.\xa0 Don't forget to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
