The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was originally intended to protect people with disabilities so they could get fair treatment in the workplace and so they would not be overlooked for employment opportunities and promotions.  While this is still the assumed intent of the act, rulings of the court over cases involving the ADA have made the intentions of the bill appear slightly different.

Court rulings over ADA cases have created a loophole of sorts in the bills.  In order to win a court case, a disabled person must prove that he or she is disabled enough to be considered “disabled” under the law, but they must not be too disabled so that they cannot be expected to do the job.  A lot of people fall between these restrictions, and as a result many people have not been protected as they should have been.
