NEW: The Supreme Court is being asked to decide if private citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act after a federal court ruled that only the government can sue to stop racist voting laws. If SCOTUS upholds the ruling, it could end the ability of voters to challenge anti-voting nationwide.

Well, I'm no JAG, but yes, I think illegal, for following reasons: 1. Civilian vessel 2. Not self-defense 3. No attempt at interdiction (i.e. disable engines) 4. Int'l waters 5. No PID on folks in boat (could be civilians) 6. No declared state of war or hostilities so unclear authorization

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
