The Script
When you are denied ADA accommodations in Court.
Before I get into this, let me shout out to a new subscriber. I was reading
this morning, by , and I saw that (1) he has been denied ADA rights in court, and (2) he has scripts for other things to help him along.I thought I had put out a substack on this, and I thought I had put out a youtube video on this, but evidently not. I am certain this is on my old tiktok account, however.
But, for long-term purposes, here is the ADA script I give my clients, when they’ve asked for ADA accommodations, and the court has, in one way or another, stomped on those rights. (ADA is applicable in state and local courts, under Title II.)
CAVEAT: This is not presented as, nor intended as legal advice. I can say, however, this causes extreme ulcers in the courts, and removes deniability of the court’s knowledge of your disability, and their duty to accommodate you under the ADA.
SCRIPT:
“I do not have ADA access to these proceedings”
[If you have asked for accommodations already:]
“I have requested accommodations, and these accommodations are unresolved'“
[Now, just saying these words will cause more concern than wearing a Trump hat at a Tranny pride parade. The shucking and jiving will commence. The judge will either say “we have accommodated you”, to which you just repeat the first two lines above, OR, the judge will ask (or sometimes demand, depending on how much of a cunt they are) what your disability is, or what accommodations you need If they ask about your disability or accommodations:)
“Per 28 CFR 35.160(b)(2), you are required to give me privacy. Please don’t ask that in open court again.”
[If you thought the first part of the script caused ulcers, telling a judge that they are non-compliant with law, and directing them to abort their unlawfulness turns this up a few amps.]
Rinse, Wash, Repeat.
This is just like any other right. Once you invoke your rights under the ADA, stick with them. If you have to say the script over and over, well, that’s part of sticking to it.
Judges and opposing attorneys will try every trick in the book to get you to abandon your ADA rights. They’ll say things like “We don’t even have any evidence of this supposed disability” or “Well, we’re just going to have to move forward if you don’t respond [with something other than the script].
Know this. If you do this, you’re going to have to go to court and sue the current state court you are in. The ADA allows you to obtain injunctive relief, and that’s your duty to pursue.
Hope this helps.
