Denise sez, "Ninth Circuit Judge Willy Fletcher, no doubt with some degree of wistfulness, concluded in a decision published today that the world's Cetacean Communty lacks standing to sue George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld over the Navy's use of low frequency active sonar."
We are asked to decide whether the world's cetaceans have standing to bring suit in their own name under the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. We hold that cetaceans do not have standing under these statutes.
(Thanks, Denise!)
