[blindlaw] Ninth Circuit ruling in website/mobile application title III case today

[James T. Fetter]

For national chains at least, a Ninth Circuit ruling has the effect of a 
nationwide decision, since most large chains want access to the 
California market. Of course, there's always the Supreme Court. I wonder 
how soon a 5 to 4 reversal of the Ninth Circuit on this issue, if not on 
this case, will be handed down?
