How later courts describe this case

  • holding that claim brought under Title II of the ADA against the State was barred under the Eleventh Amendment
  • presuming that Congress intended the ADA scheme to be exclusive because it serves as a “comprehensive remedial scheme”
  • holding “that the extension of Title II of the ADA to the states was not a proper exercise of Congress’s power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Consequently, there is no valid abrogation of [the State’s] Eleventh Amendment immunity from private suit in federal court .... ”
  • “The legislative history of the ADA indicates that the discriminatory practices of public entities, and not individuals, are the target of Title II.”
