Americans can now rest easy knowing that discrimination against people with disabilities just got easier thanks to the GOP led Congress...
In a 225-192 vote Thursday, most House Republicans and a dozen Democrats passed a bill that makes it harder for disabled persons to sue for discrimination, in an effort to prevent opportunistic attorneys from taking advantage of business owners.
But many disability and civil rights groups fear the bill will weaken incentives for businesses to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which mandates equal access to public accommodations.

Seems that no cruelty is beneath this bunch of members of Congress in their defiant march to give business all the advantages of doing away with those nasty crippled folks..
