title: Supreme Court to rule on rights of people with disabilities.
abstract: Since Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, people with disabilities have demanded nationwide, "Enforce our civil rights," and "Our homes, not nursing homes." Now, in the case Olmstead v. L.C., the United States Supreme Court will decide whether the ADA will be a "civil rights statute" that enforces the rights of the disabled community and a means to achieve homebased services.
