The Department of Injustice in action. Here is another arm of the Central Socialist Government that needs to be whittled down to practically nothing!

GUESS THE DOJ WILL BE SENDING ANOTHER LOAD OF FAST AND FURIOUS WEAPONS TO MEXICO, BUT WITH BRAILLE MARKINGS, SO BLIND CRIMINALS CAN USE THEM TOO.

The Library of Congress already provides any blind person a player and all the tapes that thay want to listen to. The books come in the mail, ya don't even have to leave home. But, than again why is it the law to have braille readings on the drive thru teller machines? My husband was blind for the last 15 years of his life, we NEVER asked for special treatment.

You just can’t make this stuff up. What’s next? A lawsuit against a hair salon because they won’t hire a blind person?

California is going to find a way to issue driver’s licenses to blind people . . .

I guess I missed when the 211th, 212th and 213th amendments to the Constitution were passed. The ADA requires reasonable accommodations, not complete equality. The DOJ's logic would require that car companies stop selling cars until they can be driven by the blind - or maybe just replace the windows with sheet metal so no one can see and all will be equal.

They will save substantially by eliminating the pilot program altogether. Surely the AFB will be delighted, “If our members cannot use the program no one should be allowed to.”
The AFB is targeting the Airline Pilots Association for refusing to accredit blind pilots. “Certainly in an age when audio devices proliferate, flying jumbo jets can be made accessible to the blind,” claims a visually challenged spokesperson for the AFB.
The National Association of the Deaf is incensed that their members are excluded from these audio systems. “If our members cannot use the program no one should be allowed to,” an auditorally challenged spokesperson for the NAD claimed.
Meanwhile 50 million babies have been slaughtered in the womb without any protection of their right to life.
We have become utterly insane.

This is insanity. It is a sign of the times, and also the blame of the sanctimonious legislators who base the vague legislation which underlies this.

Why don’t they just burn all books and pictures because they are not accessible to the blind?

If I live a few more decades, I will probably lose my sight, according to my ophthalmologist. I will will remember to be loud in my complaints about people who try to claim that a handicap is not really a misfortune, and can be undone by proper rules. NO! Sometimes things just go bad, and injuring people with luck does not help the unfortunate.

A pox on this liberal nonsense!

Holder needs a nice cell in a federal pen somewhere, where he can attempt to obtain ‘justice’, when his cellmate slips his weapon into Eric’s border.

Well GM does not make automobiles that blind people can drive. Is that a violation of the ADA and will DOJ go after them?

Wait a minute.
The blind folks can not read the print books either.
The Nook is just a printed page on a screen instead of paper.
So how come lending books is ok?

The library says it will add iPod touch and iPad devices, which read e-books aloud with a computerized voice.

Why do I suspect that there's an Obama supporter who's an Apple salesman?

Car manufactures should stop making cars because everyone knows blind people can’t drive!

Does that make as much sense?

Does the DOJ understand what a “trial” program is? Did they need a more nuanced word? We pilot (trial) programs all the time in my line of work. Normally a targeted group (in this case it looks like a branch) uses the program and is required to give feedback/suggestions. I am sure the library could have looked at the issue and found better solutions to help these people during the trial period.

You can take the trial lawyer out of private practice, but you can’t take the trial lawyer out of the person.

Is this real? I mean a blind person can’t read a bound book, can they?

And I know the kindle as some kind of “voice” feature, I don’t know if it’s any good, I don’t know if the nook has this, but I reckon blind people will likely get more reading done with e-readers than with old fashioned books.

Seriously, Mitt Romney needs to go to DC and do something he enjoys: FIRE PEOPLE!

There have to be MILLIONS of actual printed BOOKS in American Libraries.

NO BLIND person can ‘read’ them.

IS the DOJ of Holder & Obama going to demand that all the libraries in the country—including every college & university only have books that are for the blind?

Are they going to go after all the book stores in the country, also??

This administration just confounds me.

Whenever I think they cannot do anything furthere that is beyond stupid, they come up with another scenario.
