Logic not your strong point, eh? Seeing as no law requires that I own a
car, then I guess I can't be required to make sure that any car that I do
own passes a safety inspection. It may well be that Target has no
obligation is make its website accessible for the blind. But it won't be
because no law requires a website in the first place.

Perhaps you could explain the reasoning behind this assertion. Cites to
statute or case law would be nice.

Could we have some evidence for this?

Do you have some evidence for this claim? Perhaps the correlation
between the number of ACLU lawsuits and the inflation rate?

But you appear to be an ignoramus. Could we have something besides your
word?

Many ACLU lawsuits involving violations of civil rights don't claim
damages at all. Many ACLU lawsuits are handled pro bono.
Can you cite a source for the number of BMW's driven by ACLU lawyers?
Some ACLU lawyers have separate private practices. Is it OK for them to
buy BMWs with money they recieve from their private practice?

The plaintiffs in Dover, PA. And by extension, me. Also you.
