In employment discrimination, I beleive any extention has been through legislation (ADA, etc) and not by the courts adding any new protected class. At the state level, I beleive it is the same – legislation – but I wouldn’t claim to keep track of every court interpretation of every state constitution. In the case of sexual orientation, for example, every state that is reported to prohibit employment discrimination has it through legislation not judicial action.Yes, I know. I am wondering if any court cases have decided that certain groups, not originally intended, are now to be included.
If not the civil rights act, how about the ADA, or similar laws?
