I don't think there are many golfers in America, or golfing fans, who are pleased with this decision and many must be very dismayed. To me, it is a ruling that contributes to the continuing emasculation of the American male, by the government in general and the Supreme Court in particular. You should think twice, I believe, by holding up Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas as examples of what you do not want on the Supreme Court. They were the only two who voted against the decision. Yes, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 and at the time I thought it a good thing.
Regulations are like poll taxes, where rich and poor, large and small, bear the same costs.
Perhaps it is time to amend the basic law to allow more flexibility to take this into account. That, though, is another matter, with which the disability lobbyists may have to contend when it becomes clear this High Court ruling on golf carts has taken the basic law to a new and ridiculous length. If a law were proposed requiring the PGA to allow golfers to ride golf carts in professional tournaments, it would never get to a vote in the House or Senate and probably never make it out of a committee. Surely it was never the intent of the government in 1990 that the law would be interpreted in this manner. But when you have a Supreme Court that feels sorry for athletes who cannot compete within the rules of the tournament, there really is a need for the President to appoint more Justices who follow the Constitution , not their hearts.
