If you cannot see how this is legal, what shows you that it is illegal?
Actually, I don't think they can even ask.
From the EEOC link that Excargdog posted,
"An employer may not ask a job applicant, for example, if he or she has a disability (or about the nature of an obvious disability). An employer also may not ask a job applicant to answer medical questions or take a medical exam before making a job offer."
