#2I wonder why having having a voice ordering system by phone wouldn't be a valid defense for Dominos. Should the ADA apply to every channel of sales if there are supported alternatives by the same company.

#3Sounds like a great start-up opportunity. Turnkey and ongoing accessibility compliance.

While on the surface that seems like a good argument, wouldn’t that mean that as long as they had Braille and a wheelchair ramp at their stores they’d be compliant? Etc etc

I don't think that's a fair conclusion to reach. One channel can reasonably be done from home while the other requires going to the store.
I believe web accessibility is net good, though.

#9This seems like overreach. Clearly the law doesn’t cover websites.
Why can’t congress just pass a law to make the ADA apply to websites? It’s not SCOTUS’s job to create law.

It would need a usability measure. For instance, are accessibility features for the blind on the web better, worse or exactly equivalent to using a voice menu on a phone?
