Companies would not have to worry about ADA Restoration if

their past actions didn't cause us (people with disabilities) to worry about our future.

Here are some examples:
1. Wal-Mart versus Orr

2. Wal-Mart versus Bradley

3. GM argued that Carey did not have a “disability” and was not protected by the ADA (muscular dystrophy)

4. "United's shifting explanation of its reasons for withdrawing the job offer undermines United's credibility and suggests that the company simply did not want to employ a deaf line mechanic,"

More to come later. If you know of any cases, please share.

Thanks for blogging on this topic.

People can also find a long list of past blog posts around the web about the ADA Restoration Act at http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/on-the-ada-restoration-act-of-2007/. This is a few days out of date but I try to catch up with it every week or two, and will try to remember to include your recent posts also.
