It may be "heavy" for BusChat, but it is the foundation upon which we base our reasoning for supporting one thing or another . . . in this case, the intersection of motorized traffic and the pedestrian, something to be account for whenever "priority" is given to bus or other transportation services.I believe that a properly found natural right has always been there. Sort of like America always being here, even before it was "found." But the ADA is an interesting case. Traveling by oneself with a wheelchair, or with a service animal, I think was probably a right that was always there, and the ADA simply protects that right against abridgement by the government (which, I believe, Congress was authorized to legislate under the Commerce Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment). I view the "expansion" of rights under the ADA to its application beyond government action and interference with the rights of individuals to do business with the people that they desire to do business with (much as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Heart of Atlanta Motel Inc. v. United States did for private discrimination on other bases) . . . something that remains in the news to this day as some business owners get fined big time for refusing to bake cakes to celebrate same-sex marriages. |
