Jones has embarked on a low-key crusade to educate the public about the importance of judicial independence.

Oh, we've got enough judicial independence, all right. Independence from the Constitution, independence from the facts, and independence from the case at hand.

The reason many conservatives want to tear this arrogant clown a new one is not simply the way he ruled in the case, but that as he did so:

a) He asserted the Left's mythical separation of Church and state to abridge free speech; and b) he broke new ground in judicial overreach in presuming to tell the litigants what science is, rather than just ruling on the case and shutting up. It reminded me of Kimba (the white lioness) Wood, sentencing Michael Milken for the crime of symbolizing an era of greed.

Jones is just another country-club RINO craving the strange new respect of the Left by betraying his oath of office. Count on it: He'll publicly endorse a Democrat for President.

You are neglecting to mention that the defendants in the case specifically requested a ruling to this effect.

I couldn't agree more!

Not to mention - where does the constitution mandate government run public schools?

I tend to believe that the ToE will only be overturned by a court of public opinion and I'm not holding my breath on that one either.
