From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions.

There is a legal precedent however which means the test would likely proceed despite environmental lawsuits according to a chatbot:
Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council (2008): This is arguably the most important modern precedent.
The Case: The NRDC sued the Navy to stop its use of mid-frequency active sonar in training exercises, arguing it harmed marine mammals in violation of environmental laws (NEPA). Lower courts agreed and issued an injunction to stop the training.
The Precedent: The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, overturned the injunction. Chief Justice Roberts wrote that the "public interest in conducting realistic naval training exercises outweighs" the potential harm to marine life. Critically, the Court ruled that an injunction could only be issued if plaintiffs showed that irreparable harm was "likely," not just a "possibility." This made it much harder to legally challenge and halt national security activities on environmental grounds.
I am guessing ICE might have its hands full with extra illegal immigrants.
