Second Republican judge who thinks he is Command in Chief: > **[An Anti-Vax Judge Is Preventing the Navy From Deploying a Warship](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/03/covid-vaccine-judge-navy-warship-religious-freedom.html)** > > Admirals want to remove an insubordinate anti-vaxxer from command of a destroyer. A judge won’t let them. Note that he is also preventing the assignment of Marine logistics battalion commander who can perform the job. IMHO, that is probably actually more significant then the inability to deploy a single ship (c.f. the Russian convoy). ---

From Slate article: > [@](#): > > [T]he Department of Justice [pleaded](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.395057/gov.uscourts.flmd.395057.118.0.pdf) with Merryday to pause his decision. On Wednesday, he [declined](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.395057/gov.uscourts.flmd.395057.122.0.pdf). Merryday scorned the notion that Doe might get sick, writing that he is “ **triumphantly fit and slim and strong.”** He also implied that Navy leadership may be lying about Doe’s insubordination in retaliation against his religious beliefs. Merryday declined to fully credit their testimony until he could subject them to cross-examination. He concluded that the plaintiffs’ right to religious liberty trumps the Navy’s profound national security concerns. _Triumphantly?_ WTF you jingoistic shithead, reading some Movietone newsreel? So it’s “religious liberty”, it’s all boiling down to? Wonder how many other useless fucking end-of-the-worlders are judges. ---

New commander, ship sails, if guy wins again against appeal, drop him off by helicopter or let the insubordinate jerk swim after the ship. Or if he’s so damn religious - run across the water after the ship. (he won’t win) Thanks Mitch, you TRIUMPHANT moronic twit. Rot in hell [GQP stalwarts don’t believe in hell - suckers and losers that do believe are their base]. ---

President Zelensky of Ukraine held a Zoom call with several US Senators and Representatives this morning, and asked them not to share the call on social media.
