OPINION: Well now, let's see if the new coin money (and braille paper money ?) has "In God We Trust" on it.

HEY! Maybe the tax code is illegal because it's not printed in brail?

Actually, it was Bob Dole's. Now his wife (R-NC) is both bagman for the NRSC and co-chair (along with Feminazi Christine Todd Whitman) of an organization which has the purpose of preventing conservatives from influencing the GOP.

The Disability Act is a good act and it has helped a lot of disabled people to make their lives easier but it was not meant to be interpreted as this moron liberal judge just did regarding the US money.

Many other countries have slightly different sizes and textures for specific denominations of bills. Makes counterfeiting more difficult, and much less shortchanging of consumers. Unfortunately, we would need to overhaul all automated sorting and counting equipment throughout the US banking and finance industry. Blind folks will need to continue to fold, spindle, and mutilate US currency. To make a change would cost $billions. You called the stupidity correctly.
