[AMP-L] Limb Loss and the Supreme Court

[Wayne Renardson]

via Amplitude:

Amplitude is neither smart enough nor stupid enough to comment on any 
of the decisions the Supreme Court handed down in the past week. None 
of the legal or constitutional principles involved in these cases 
implicate limb loss directly, and reactions to the Court´s rulings 
are as diverse and passionate within the limb-loss community as 
everywhere else. We can´t add any clarity to the discussion, and it 
wouldn´t serve our purpose (nor anyone else´s) to stir the pot.  

But the week´s events did get us wondering: When did the Justices 
last consider limb loss in any substantive way? We recently became 
aware of one amputee-related case that reached the Supreme Court, and 
was argued by an amputee lawyer-it´s covered in our upcoming  
July/August issue. With a bit of additional research, we turned up  
three more SCOTUS cases related to limb loss in this century.
