I'm a conservative. I've appeared before Judge Emmett Sullivan. He is one of the few Clinton appointments I can stomach. Judge Sullivan is not, like so many of these D.D.C. judges Clinton appointed, an ideologue. He has his world view and it can infect cases. But actually he does TRY to be fair. In that sense, I do have the greatest respect for him. So careful there. He's not so bad, actually. (Don't even get me started on the ones that are. I seriously should write a book about it.)

That's good to know.

And another good thing about FR - such a wide variety of experiences and knowledge here!

The judge declared illegal the Navy's use of Farallon de Medinilla, near Saipan, as a test range (our only one in the Pacific)because they didn't get a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Just following the law no doubt. No political agenda in siding with one freaking bird watcher who brought the suit and against the U.S. Navy.
