First Supreme Court decision (actually non-decision) of the term was a bummer

Supreme Court DISMISSES as moot, with instructions to the First Circuit to VACATE its ruling.

The little weasel deliberately dismissed her District Court case with prejudice, those mooting appellate proceedings. She knew damn well she would lose and her lucrative little ADA testing racket would be at a permanent end.

So she is free to continue shaking down hotels to the tune of $10,000 a pop, even though she has zero intention to actually patronize any of them.

Congress needs to change standing so that an abusive plaintiff cannot deliberately dismiss their case for purposes of evading appellate review. Alternatively, there needs to be provisions added to the ADA to prohibit suits unless the individual in question actually arrived at the facility and was denied the use of the facility due to ADA violations. The law needs to be changed to put an end to these “testers” who in reality are just grifters.

That racket reminds me of someone where I used to work who had rental houses. A mixed race couple came to see his rental house. When he checked their background he found that they had made discrimination claims to numerous renters in the past and rejected them for that reason.
They made a claim and someone from the equal housing office came out to look into it. When he saw their shakedown record he said he would have rejected them too.
