• finding that the ADA does not provide remedies “so sweeping that they exceed the harms that [it] is designed to redress”
• finding that in the ADA, Congress “unequivocally expressed its intent to abrogate the State’s immunity”
• finding that because Congress explicitly found that persons with disabilities have suffered dis crimination, the ADA is therefore within the scope of appropriate legislation under the Equal Protection Clause
• “Although ‘the constitutionality of action taken by Congress does not depend on recitals of power which it undertakes to exercise,’ we give great deference to congressional statements.”
