Money Violates Civil Rights Laws, Court Rules

by Hans Bader - November 28th, 2006 - openmarket.org

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has just ruled that America’s money bills, such as $1, $10, and $100 bills, discriminate against the blind, in violation of the federal Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits the federal government and recipients of federal funds from discriminating against the disabled.

The reasons for this ruling are so ridiculous that the judge recommended that his ruling be appealed immediately. The "rule of judges" is getting so out of hand that we are rapidly approaching the situation where our form of government will collapse into a judicial dictatorship. It is arguable that we have already reached that point.
