Politics should benefit people who support politicians, right. Here in PA the Pennsylvania State Education Association supports the candidates and they vote in a bigger pension for school employees.

Phyllis figures that if Christians vote in politicians, they should deliver with good judicial appointments and the judges then should make good decisions. Isn't that how politics works?

You have not answered my question. Do you believe that the decision was "bad" because the judge used legal prescedent -- that is, existing case law -- rather than ruling in the way that adherents to Fundamentalist Christianity desired? Do you believe that the law should be ignored in a judicial ruling when a community of religious voters desire a different outcome than the law allows?

Seems to have happened here.

But it almost sounds as though Ms. Schlafly would have preferred a leftist judge to feel the defendants were losing self-esteem because science doesn't agree with them, and rule that the students' feelings rule.

The first duty of any public official in this country is to support the Constitution. That's where the Dover school board failed.

God bless Judge Jones! By driving a stake through the heart of ID, he saved us from having to litigate this mess over and over again, which would only have fueled the MSM in their self-appointed task of declaring that conservatives are idiots.

I noticed that you didn't mention that the school board members who caused this lawsuit were voted out of office by the electorate.

Seems like the voters had their say.
