Lefty protesters are asking a federal judge to allow them onto the West Point garrison during graduation this year. The judge has agreed to hear the case, which is in itself a scary thing. If he’s a Clinton appointee, who knows where this might go. But the protesters and the judge need to understand: the U.S. Military Academy is an Army post, not a campus. It’s a duty station. Cadets are in the Army serving at that post.
If the judge were to do something as ill-advised as say the protesters need to be allowed inside the post, the implications are tremendous. It would call into question any military base’s ability to police itself and secure itself from those who would do mischief, or worse. The USMA should ignore the judge, were he to do this, and cite appropriate national security provisions for doing so. Or maybe they could get the Tuetuls, whose Orange County Choppers shop is nearby in Orange County, to man the front gate.
