Ah, now that makes sense. Thanks, Jonathan.
But the petition's language needs to be cleaned up to specifically state what we're asking for.

From what I hear at Justice (all issues, not just ADA) and other agencies, there's not much that will happen for the next two years. It's a lame duck year so Obama won't move on any controversial issue unless he thinks it can help the Democrats in the November elections. Top brass at all agencies are already leaving town and subordinates are in charge who will only hold down the fort for the next 12-18 months while the administration turns over and new agency heads are appointed and approved.

Then again, they just might sneak it through under the election-year radar. Let's hope!
