That is so stupid. Being blind should not be a consideration in whether someone can do a job, even if things have to read to them. I have a cousin who is legaly blind. She attended college and received several degrees. She sews, keeps house, cooks, raised a daughter, and works for the IRS. She travels for the IRS and conducts classes, also reviews returns. Her husband has never once said she can't do something because she is blind and of course that helps. Her parents wanted to keep her at home and "protect" her. Her sisters rescued her from that, thank the Lord. Her 95 year old Mother is in an asited living apartment and she comes home for the weekend once a month to help her Mother, she and her two remaining sister and a brother and his wife all do the same, so someone is there every week end.
I wouldn't care to get into a cab with a 'legally' blind taxi driver, even if he had a navigator...
A judge who can't read or see expressions on people's faces, or watch video that are evidence, has no business being a judge...How can you judge if you can't judge???
I'll bet you'll never get on a plane with a blind pilot...Fortunately, it's a requirement that pilots can not be blind and still be able to fly a plane...
