The original list used to track states that went on and came off the States' Olmstead Amicus brief (aka the Evil Empire Brief). A handwritten list of states, some crossed off. All listed originally signed onto the anti-disability brief; those crossed off were convinced by the disability community to come off the brief in the end.
