> So wait, how is a Florida judge allowed jurisdiction here?

It's not a Florida judge, it's a Federal judge in the US District Court.

And yet, the US District Judge is still not a military judge.

This is a military matter and should be left to the military courts and judges that are well versed in military law. Let the federal courts handle federal laws, let local courts handle local laws, and let military courts handle military laws.


From what I gathered, the lawsuit is asserting that the US Navy is not abiding by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. I understand this to be outside the scope of a court-martial, as this is federal law and not from the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
