In reaction to a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo regarding the landmark 1999 Supreme Court ruling Olmstead v. L.C., and in conjunction with the anniversary of the Court’s ruling in Olmstead, COPAA and partners issued a statement condemning DOJ’s recent interpretation of the law. Calling the interpretation illogical, harmful, and pernicious, they said, “The administration’s efforts to deny civil rights to people with disabilities cannot be carried out through DOJ memorandums nor by executive order. This action demonstrates the administration’s clear intent to misapply the law against the rights of individuals with disabilities.”
