They did it again.. I especially like this part:
Courts must be wary of second-guessing the military’s considered judgments, the Supreme Court said Wednesday in lifting judicial restrictions on submarine training exercises off the coast of Southern California that may harm marine mammals.
In balancing military preparedness against environmental concerns, the majority came down solidly on the side of national security.
“The lower courts failed properly to defer to senior Navy officers’ specific, predictive judgments,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., joined by four other justices, wrote for the court in the first decision of the term.
The Court doesn't seem to have addressed whether the Navy was being properly deferential to the specific, predictive judgments of the Department of the Interior or the Congress.
Oh, wait -- the is the Bush Navy, in a case being heard by the Bush Court.
Never mind.
