  • A disabled activist filed hundreds of ADA lawsuits against hotels lacking accessibility details online.
  • The Supreme Court is considering if she has standing to sue without intending to stay at the hotels.
  • A ruling for the hotel could limit "testers'" ability to identify discrimination in various areas.
  • Some argue abuses by "testers" have burdened small businesses with costly legal proceedings.
