God bless Judge Jones. He's a great man who made the right decision to protect our schools from agenda driven ignorance.
Agreed. A true conservative jurist. As for the article at the start of this thread, notice anything peculiar? There are many links -- all to one side's version of things -- but they somehow avoided a link to Jones' opinion. We can remedy that little oversight:
Kitzmiller et al. v Dover Area School District et al.. (Text version, not pdf.)
And that is what is important, not whether he ignored the evidence or made up his results, just so long as he got the "right" answer.
Doctrine makes living a lot easier, none of that pesky thinking or all of that angst over telling the truth or researching the evidence or actually finding a rational basis for your thoughts.
I said when this was first announced that, notwithstanding anybody's opinion of ID, it was absurd for a federal judge to simply label a branch of thought as inherently religious and therefore off-limits to critical analysis.
It will be interesting to see how many of those who posted that opponents of the ruling were unwilling to examine the facts, or were simply ignoring anything that refuted their position, will now defend this judge given the clear record of his ignoring and misrepresenting facts in the case.
And no warning bells will go off in their heads, I imagine, seeing the liberal media trying to re-cast the judge as a good religious man, as if that matters.
