Yes, and judges are so isolated from the real world thay can't seem to see that someone who has to type to earn a living and eat might be considered disabled.
This is the same government that until just recently delayed Medicare benefits for two (2) years to people dying of Lou Gehrig's Disease. Their prognosis meant that most would die before they were elegible for benefits.
Then again, if a judge lost his/her hearing and his/her sight, could he/she still be considered able to do his/her job, or would he/she be consdered disabled. Maybe they should hear THAT case before this same group of judges. (Trying to maintain political correctness here;-)
