Nonprofit sues to stop sinking of the SS United States

A nonprofit conservation group is suing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Okaloosa County to stop the sinking of the SS United States . The SS United States Preservation Foundation Inc. and its co-founder, Steven R. Perry, have asked a federal court to halt the planned tow and sinking of the SS United States, alleging that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved the project without adequately examining environmental risks or complying with historic preservation requirements. The foundation filed suit Nov. 3 and an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction Nov. 4 in the Northern District of Florida. Okaloosa County plans to tow the 990-foot ocean liner from Mobile , Alabama, on Nov. 9 and sink it Nov. 12 approximately 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin and 29 miles from Pensacola. The plan is to sink the vessel to create the world's largest artificial reef . The ship's proximity to the USS Oriskany, another major artificial reef off Pensacola and currently the world’s largest, is intended to make Northwest Florida a leading destination for recreational divers. In a news release announcing its lawsuit to stop the sinking of the ship, the SS United States Preservation

After California bombshell, Florida could have biggest death row in US

Yesterday, Florida had the second-most death row inmates after California, despite Gov. Ron DeSantis' recent push to execute prisoners who have been on death row for decades. However, hours before Florida is set to execute Jesse Guardado for the 2004 stabbing and beating death of 75-year-old community activist Jackie Malone in Walton County, California Gov. Gavin Newsom commuted all 548 California death sentences to life without the possibility of parole . "After nearly 30 years in public office, I have come to understand the limits of what government can justly accomplish," Newsom wrote in an open letter to Californians. "I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us. "I know we cannot execute people in our imperfect legal system and remain true to our core values, first among them justice and human decency," he said. Newsom's term ends in January, but he is said to be considering a run for president in 2028. Newsom's move does not immediately commute all 529 men and 19 women in California. The California Supreme Court will have to decide whether to approve commutations for people
