Money also discriminates against the poor

Money also discriminates against the poor: The Washington Post provides a news update headlined "Court Rules That Paper Money Discriminates Against the Blind."

The Associated Press provides a report headlined "Court: Paper money discriminates against the blind."

Bloomberg News reports that "U.S. Must Modify Paper Money to Accommodate Blind."

James Vicini of Reuters provides a report headlined "U.S. court: currency discriminates against the blind."

Agence France-Presse reports that "US court rules paper money discriminates against blind."

CNNMoney.com provides a report headlined "Paper money unfair to blind - court; Federal appeals court says Treasury Department is violating the law by keeping dollars the same size and feel."

And in news from Cincinnati, "Courthouse Deli Owner Praises Court Order On Currency."

Unfortunately, today's ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit likewise discriminates against the blind, who must depend on others to learn what it says. And the online version of the ruling discriminates against those without internet access.

Circuit Judge Judith W. Rogers delivered the opinion of the court, in which Circuit Judge Thomas B. Griffith joined. Circuit Judge A. Raymond Randolph dissented.

My earlier coverage of the federal district court's ruling in this case, from November 2006, can be accessed here.
