"Who are the people who prefer to use US law to prohibit the suggestion that organized matter performing specific functions might best be attributed to intelligent design?"

I have no idea who you are talking about - the thousands of scientists I've met are all open to discussing new evidence. Until there is solid evidence they don't want ID taught in a classroom but thats not specific to ID - they don't want anything taught in a science classroom without evidence.

Many of the ID people seem to want to bypass the part where you present evidence and convince the scientific community - its a lot like having a local board of concerned citizens vote to change air traffic control procedures or tactical battle plans without having air traffic control experts or soldiers on board.

I have no idea who you are talking about . . .

So you are unaware of any current legal challenges to the idea of intelligent design in association with organized matter?
