#2 Does the Judge's order also apply to Chinese and Russian subs?
A zone off the American coast where they can't use active sonar to locate you. How convenient.

#3 Excuse me but isn't Navy operational proceedings out of bounds for the judiciary?

Also, who will pay damages in case a carrier is sunk because an iranian sub went undetected?

The judiciary knows no bounds. They have become a power upon themselves. Granting themselves powers unthought of by the founding fathers in the Constitution. They're our new aristocracy. Thus the bloody fights over appointments because they become life long tribunes over the people. We can have totally opposite decrees operative in different jurisdictions for decades. It's arbitrary and undemocratic. However political interests like it because that means they don't have to convince the body of the people of the 'nobleness' of their agenda. They simply find a sympathetic prince. Thus the unwillingness to remove judges for bad behavior which the Constitution authorizes the legislative branch. It's a convenient way of saying that even though you elected me, I can't do anything about it. Plausible Deniability

#8 Yeah, but one on such a scale it would make the Gordans man crap his rubbers - talking 628 mile circumfrence one for each carrier group. Or they could get to working on un-inventing the submarine.

#9 All the mroe reason to hate John McStain. He personally in the ganag of 14 held up appointments until it was FAR too late.

McCain is a dick.

#10 I have a dream. How about a maritime exclusion zone around the entire west coast?

#12 Next time a sub rises beneath a ship killing civilians I can imagine this Judge will regret this decision based on unknown and protentially junk science.
