[nabs-l] Bad News for blind and visually impaired people

[T. Joseph Carter]

The DOJ is a federal rule making body.  This was a state court 
determining that state law (we sued not under the ADA, but under 
California’s more forceful state law) cannot apply because the 
particular federal law governing these things says state laws cannot 
be enacted which supersede it.
