Navy visitor program under scrutiny after Greeneville incident
A review of the Navy civilian visitor program follows Lt Omar Waddle s punitive reprimand after the Feb 9 Greeneville collision. The three admiral panel found dereliction of duty, but the broader question remains why civilians ride naval vessels. Critics warn the program channels defense funding and public optics, while supporters cite transparency and educational value. The inquiry pauses further civilian control aboard ships as investigations continue.

Court ruling grants police license to abuse rights
A 5-4 Supreme Court decision allows handcuffing and jailing drivers for minor traffic infractions even when penalties are small. The ruling cites Atwater v. Gallegos as not denying constitutional rights, sparking criticism that police could arrest for whim rather than necessity. Critics warn the decision could justify broader police misconduct and erosion of Fourth Amendment protections.
