If you ever wondered why judicial appointments are important, just look at this story:
President Bush cannot exempt the Navy from environmental laws banning sonar training that opponents argue harms whales, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Navy officials did not immediately respond to the ruling by U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper.
What kind of judge would put the unsubstantiated claims of environmental zealots above national defense? A Bill Clinton appointee who was born in Canada, that’s who.
