Pinging connectthedots... pinging connectthedots... Only you can tell us what this ruling REALLY means...
BUWAHAHAHA!!! That was my first thought when I heard the news on the BBC this evening. (yep, the Dover ruling made the BBC radio news)
connectthedots, I sincerely enjoy your discussions and hope you do make an appearance.
Haven't bee ntrying to avoid this thread. Been busy.
It's pretty obvious that the plaintiffs got everything they wanted in this case. I think the judge is wrong, but he made the ruling he made.
Since there will likely be no appeal given the current composition of the school board, the only party bound by this decision is the Dover School Board. Contrary to some news reports, this decision is not binding on the other judges in the US District Court.
The case that should draw our attention next is the upcoming decision in the 11th Circuit in the Cobb County School Board case. Based on reports of oral arguments, it seems likely the 11th circuit will likely be the opposite in a similar case.
I will try to get around to reading the entire decision in the next day or two, and then will make some comments.
Please keep in mind that I do not avoid threads simply beccause I may not like or agree the the decision of a judge. As you may or may not recall, I was in favor of a perjury prosecution for those defendants who committed perjury in their depositions. It was foolish of them to do so and I stated that it would not help their case; and in fact, hurt it. that certainly seems to be the case.
Somehow, it's the beginning of the end for Darwinism.
