I wasn't clear. I was advocating fraud and high crime prosecutions for the liars who mandate teaching ID or creationism as though it were science.

Ohhh, you were knocking down a strawman. Why didn't you say so?

Strawman? Knocking down?

A Strawman argument is misrepresenting your opponent's position in such a way that it's easier to argue against than his real position.

I've been arguing that state charges might be as appropriate as federal establishment-clause ones. I wasn't knocking any positions down.
