In a speech in April 2004 in Buffalo NY, addressing concerns about the USA Patriot Act George W. Bush said:
“A wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed by the way.”
Bush clearly lied to the American people when he made that statement. They are running the video on CNN right now.
So clearly the judge in the Dover, PA, intelligent design lawsuit is an “Activist” judge. U.S. District Judge John Jones today ruled that ID is not science but rather a supernatural explanation for the origin of life and is nothing more than a thinly disguised version of biblical creationism. He was quite open in his criticism of the ID proponents:
Jones condemned the “breathtaking inanity” of the policy of the board, all but one of whom have now been ousted by local voters. “Any asserted secular purposes by the Board are a sham and are merely secondary to a religious objective,” he said.
Jones said the students and teachers of Dover High School “deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.”
Fortunately the members of the Dover school board who put this policy were ejected by the voters this fall, so hopefully this case will not get appealed. Undoubtedly other similar cases will follow, particularly in Kansas that has a statewide rather local policy on ID. Lets just hope that the same kind of rulings follow.
This time of year lots of people buy new gadgets. If you need any help setting up new computers, networking gear, ipods or other gadgets, just drop me an e-mail sam DOT abuelsamid AT gmail DOT com and I can fill you in on rates. I’m very reasonable and I have time available this week and next. If you would like to get something configured in advance, it can be ready to go on Christmas morning.
