“bound by the Supreme Court's considered dicta almost as firmly as by the Court's outright holdings, particularly - 21 - information that she alleges Acheson didn't give her. And the statute makes that denial of information discrimination against disabled persons and gives Laufer the right to sue in response. That Laufer had no intent to use the information for anything but a lawsuit doesn't change things -- she was still injured in precisely the way the statute was designed to protect. c. i. Acheson's various attempts to distinguish Havens Realty don't change our view that it governs here. Acheson says that the denial of information here wasn't in itself discriminatory, but the lies to the plaintiff in Havens Realty were. Yes, the misinformation in Havens Realty certainly when . . . a dictum is of recent vintage and not enfeebled by any subsequent statement.”
