re: #310 No Malarkey!

Reactionary antivaxxer judges are taking command of the U.S. military. A warship can’t deploy because a judge ordered the Navy to leave an unvaccinated captain in command.

Can they even do that?
Much as I don’t like the notion of a (legally) unconstrained military, I’ve never heard of a Federal judge inserting himself into a Service’s chain-of-command like this.
Myself, if I were a senior Navy official with authority over that ship’s deployment, I’d order Captain Antivaxx relieved and replaced immediately, tell the judge to go pound sand, send the ship to sea, and let other courts (?courts-martial?) sort out the legal aspects later.
