"He said several school board members "were hell-bent on getting what they wanted." [emphasis added]
Deliciously ironic phrasing, considering that he was characterizing the pro-ID dingbats on the Dover School Board. Let's see what the Conservative Republican judge, who was appointed to the Federeal bench by Bush, had to say about the actions of the jerks on the school board:
.... this case came to us [the court] as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. The breathtaking inanity of the Board's decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.
