Oooh. I like it!

Why do I suspect this is some sort of ploy to cancel old denominations that are still in circulation?

According to this idiot liberal judge the money we are using is illegal. How stupid can these people be? Is there a limit for their stupidity?

Apparently not

Talking money is a good idea! That way when your $20 looks at you and says "The dear leader will burn you all in a sea of glorious fire" you know it is was counterfeited by the North Koreans!

Common sense discriminates against idiot judges who can't seem to grasp it. Likewise the U.S. constitution.

Braille is fine, but what about blind people who have no sense of touch?

So then what about quadripeligic blind, deaf, anosmiac, dumb people? How are they going to handle money?

[EternalVigilance]

Congress should just say, "OK, no more of those illegal dollars to fund the Courts..."

Now we also need a way to tell plastic credit cards from library cards from gift cards from hospital patient id cards from . . .

Coins are unfair to quardraplegics.

Best post all day!

White Rabbit?

Noooo... It wasn't the airplane, it was Beauty killed the beast.

The judge should be impeached now.

[LdSentinal]

Clinton judge.

U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman

I recognize that name from some previous example of his stupidity. Hmmmm.

As I understand the Act it is not evil or bad. All it requires is reasonable accommodation for disabled people in everyday life. I certainly don't like the government mandating all private behavior. But our accommodation of disabled helps make us fundamentally different from other cultures and countries.

Jefferson was an excellent violinist. Any of the popular French dance tunes of the day would do.

According to this idiot liberal judge the money we are using is illegal.

Irredeemable paper money is illegal because its unconstitutional. The federal government was never given the power to print fiat currency...the vast majority of the Framers would have been horrified by the birth of Federal Reserve, paper money, price inflation and so many of the same ills created by the American colonies' ultimately worthless bills of credit...one of the very reasons the Framers convened the Constitutional Convention

I've been to drive up ATM's that have brail keypads - for all of the blind drivers I guess!

[PeterFinn]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
