Allow me to translate - "if the court agrees that ID is unscientific junk, we'll never be able to get funded, especially with government money." Government money is peanuts compared to what religious organizations would contribute to any research that showed the promise of revealing a creator/designer. But the Discovery Institute has tipped its hand by revealing there is no such research, and no prospects for such research.

Yeah, but that's no good - they want the imprimatur of science, such that their theological meanderings are defined as "science", with the legitimacy attendant to that. IOW, they want to join the club, and they'd really like it if the courts made it so they could join without paying any dues or otherwise meeting the membership requirements.
