Supreme Court of the United States
Spector v. Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd. — Ginsburg, J., Concurring
June 6, 2005545 U.S. 119
Summary
Justice Ginsburg concurred in part and in the judgment, agreeing that Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act covers cruise ships and allows resistance to modifications conflicting with international legal obligations. She argued that the internal affairs clear statement rule derives from international law principles but should not limit Title III where no potential for international discord exists. Justices Scalia and Thomas filed separate opinions disagreeing with the plurality regarding scope of Title III's application.
