I'm interested in the basic assertion: was his ruling roughly 90% or so of the ACLU brief?

If nothing else, it says he liked their brief.

But what about the basic fact: is the 90% number true?

An analysis can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District.

Some trial documents can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District_trial_documents.

The court record is also on file in pdf format at the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, but the website is clutzy and difficult to use.

Decision: http://www.pamd.uscourts.gov/opinions/jones/04v2688d.pdf

The Defendants' (26 pp) and Plaintiffs' (161 pp) Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are out there somewhere (I downloaded both them in the past), but I can't find an easy link for you tonight. You might try searching the case number 4:04-cv-2688 and rooting around a while.
