Title I of the ADA is permissible Commerce Clause legislation regulating the
employment relationship, even if (per Garrett) it isn't permissible section 5
legislation.  Accordingly, the substantive obligations of title I remain in
effect even as to the States, and may be enforced by means other than private
suits against the States.

 If it isn't the abrogation of immunity that triggers the congruence
 and proportionality test, then doesn't federal enforcement fall with
 private enforcement in Garrett.
