I agree with this totally.  Just because it's a Federal Judge doesn't make
it apply to the entire country. And it's extremely unlikely that such a
highhanded decision will make it through the appellate process. No use
getting all in a tizzy before we know we have a realy problem.

Not, of course, that the boaters in this Judge's district aren't in trouble
now. My sympathies go out to them and my action as well once we know just
what this covers.
