Hawaiian groups seek to halt all Stryker activities


Advertiser reports on the Army's continued Stryker training despite losing a court case on the inadequacy of its EIS to consider alternative locations, and says "Three Hawaiian groups are seeking a federal court halt to all Army Stryker activities until alternatives to basing the fast-strike unit in Hawai'i are examined." OHA is also "poised to take the Army to court if it failed to offer assurances that it would steer clear of sacred cultural sites."

Update 10/15: The Star-Bulletin has the story today on the injunction being sought and the Army's response.

And Doug White at Poinography.com has some thoughts on the issue, concluding with this:
It will be interesting to see if the Ninth Circuit will grant the injunction and then if the Army appeals to the Supreme Court. If an injunction does come down, then perhaps the Army will turn to the “Unitary Executive” and thereby simply ignore the injunction instead of appealing to SCOTUS. Through its hundreds of “signing statements” the Bush administration already routinely ignores the expressed will of Congress, so it’s not that big of a stretch to envision them ignoring the Court in this matter.
