How about a SONAR-free zone here in Ohio?

“...She said the Navy must establish sonar-free zones around several areas where sensitive marine life is plentiful,...”

Don’t forget to tell the Dolphins so they know where it is.

Absolute idiots and enemy enablers. Who would have even contemplated such a time when such frivolous and foolish issues would limit training and weaken our national security.

These people are either so embecilic that they do not even consider our own and their own self defense and are thus willing used to lay us open before potential enemies...or they are absolutely sinister and in league with those same enemies.

There are many useful idiots that are the former...but some among them are certinly the latter and deserve to be keel-hauled.

“Don’t forget to tell the Dolphins so they know where it is.”

And the Chinese too. Can’t forget them. Gotta know where the Sonar-Free-Zones are

[gitmo]

So our enemies will have free acess to the US coastline. How about maps showing them our vulnerable sections?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Yes, it isn’t like the Navy actually needs Sonar to protect the nation. /sarc off

It is rulings like this that makes me think we need to amend the Constitution so that when it comes to Presidential, Legislative or Judicial power, every candidate or appointee must first have served in the military, to prove they are true patriots.

Having said that, I do NOT believe that only military members are patriotic citizens.

But when it comes to national security, it seems to me that those who loathe the military do NOT understand the important role that the military serves. The men and women who serve show their respect for their nation through their sacrifice.

I respect their sacrifice and am humbled by it.

about those come up with these idiot laws: power corrupts.

[JimC214]

Actually that won’t help. William Kuntsler that commie loving lawyer was awarded the silver star in W.W. 2 and they don’t get any more liberal then him.

[FlingWingFlyer]

These two old SF hippies, Liz and Flo on our so-called “courts” are really sticking it to my freedom and security. I’m not appreciating this.

[rockinqsranch]

Very true, and I forgot they need inform the Whales too.

[Redcloak]

There’s a few spots in CA that might fit the bill as they’re already USN property: China Lake and the Chocolate Mountains aerial gunnery range come to mind.

since when do US Judges have jurisdiction in foreign waters and lands?

[Jeff Head]

They do not...but they think they have it over our ships at sea. The President just needs to tell the judge to enforce it and then issue his executive order to ignore it as Commander in Chief.

This is as rediculous and frivolous as what the liberal judge was doing in Klamath Falls in 2001. But it's also just as deadly serious.

Heck...if the dolphins or whales do not like the sonar, they'll just swim away. it's a big ocean out there.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I know, I know.

I’m a romantic. I think of the heroes of World War II with the same warmth that I do for Mom and apple pie. It’s too bad men like Kuntsler have to rain on my parade. :(

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Kunstler was a communist. The only debate is whether he was an official member of the Communist Party USA or not. His law partners were well known CP members (Morton Stavis) or CP sympathizers, Peter Weiss, or CP-directed lawyers and as yet unidentified CP members such as Arthur Kinoy. Kinoy tried to set up a new marxist group, NCIPA (National Committee for Independent Political Action), whose founding conference I attended. He’s still alive and still a red at heart.

Re the judges in the sonar case.

Let’s creat a “dumbass judge-freeze zone” for all of California, for a start. That will get rid of the Nutty Ninth and all the local leftist legal hacks.

Someone needs to put their so called honors on a sub and take them for a look see say of a port in China. If our subs can sneak in and out of foreign ports undetected {and we can} then they sure can ours. The judges are legislating from the bench and their ruling has no Constitutional basis. The primary function of government above all else is to provide for the common defense of this nation. Sonar in various forms has been operational for many decades.
