The treaty was designed to 'promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity'. Yet under the US Constitution they are not denied the rights that every other person enjoys. Correct? If they don't have things like access to buildings or public transportation, then theyARE denied rights that every other person enjoys. Shouldn't a blind voter have access to a braille ballot, so they can cast their vote in private like the rest of us? Since when is the acknowledgementthat we may have to make a few special accommodations for the disabled a partisan issue?
