This ["Judge Jones is a George W. Bush appointee. The tyranny was the school board's."] is sarcasm right?

READ & WEEP -- Directly from the Court's ruling:

Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge. If so, they will have erred as this is manifestly not an activist Court. Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. The breathtaking inanity of the Board’s decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.

And none of that matters one damn bit.

Who cares if the school board is breathtakingly inane. They are the duly elected representatives of the people of that district.

If the people of that district agree that they are breathtakingly inane then the people of that district have the power to recall them and vote them out. Either way it is manifestly NOT the business of the federal court to rectify inane rulings from local politico's.

Why have school boards and city councils at all? Let's just let federal judges tell us what is best for us.

Judicial tyranny is tyranny whether it's from the right or the left
