WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2001 The Justice Department has submitted a brief to the Supreme Court, siding against a woman who claims she was fired for her disability. In April, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal filed by a Toyota manufacturing plant. A lower court ruled the company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing a woman affected by carpal tunnel syndrome with suitable alternative work. The White House says it is committed to diability rights. President Bush's father signed the ADA into law in 1990. The elder Bush had, in fact, submitted briefs urging the Supreme Court to hold the state of Florida accountable for discriminating against state employees. The Court, however, ruled that states have sovereign immunity to lawsuits under the law. Get the Story:
