Looks like the whales lose again with these fuckers on the court!
I'd like to submit them to some screaming sound waves in their homes and see how it feels.

	Environmentalists and wildlife advocates argued that <A href="http://lists.grist.org/t?r=2&c=3774&l=16&ctl=33DD1:FF613D108E42B1EC4C1EE523E92CFBFD">restrictions on the Navy's use of sonar</A> imposed by lower-court judges <A href="http://lists.grist.org/t?r=2&c=3774&l=16&ctl=33DD5:FF613D108E42B1EC4C1EE523E92CFBFD">should be upheld</A> -- at least until the Navy conducts its required environmental impact statement -- citing sonar's track record of seriously messing with whales and other marine mammals. 
	Predictably, the Navy argues that halting or restricting sonar training exercises in any way harms national security. If the judges' comments are any indication, the court is likely to rule in the Navy's favor this spring. Justice Samuel Alito wondered aloud how a <A href="http://lists.grist.org/t?r=2&c=3774&l=16&ctl=33DD3:FF613D108E42B1EC4C1EE523E92CFBFD">lone judge</A> could ever restrict anything the Navy does, Justice Antonin Scalia characterized the required-but-still-not-done environmental impact statement as "procedural,"</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/004E527C-A4CE-48C1-8D9F-2EC6931E84AD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
