Sandefur has an excellent post up about the Dover ruling and the hollowness of the charge that the judge was engaging in “judicial activism” in his ruling.

The Federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania is investigating possible perjury charges against various members of the school board in Dover after Judge Jones bluntly declared that they had lied in their depositions in the case: U.S. Middle District Attorney Thomas A. Marino said yesterday that decision will take time because there is “a lot of reading…

This is a guest post from Allen Macneill, an evolutionary biologist and writer. He currently teaches an introductory evolution course for non-majors at Cornell, and is writing an introductory evolution textbook, also for non-majors. HIs most recent article, “The capacity for religious experience is an evolutionary adaptation to warfare” has just been reprinted in an…

I thought I’d post what some legal scholars are saying about yesterday’s ruling, since a good many of them have blogs and have responded.

If it is appealed, “I can’t think of…

The article that Burt Humburg and I wrote will be in the next issue of Skeptic, but in light of today’s ruling, they decided to post it online today. You can see it here.

I’m sure this will come as a bit of a shock to you all, but the Discovery Institute isn’t happy with the ruling. In fact, they’re slamming it as the decision of an “activist judge who has delusions of grandeur.” Those damn Bush-appointed activist judges! This furious response is just the icing on the cake…

Before we go any further in analyzing and celebrating today’s ruling in the Dover trial, I think it’s really important to give out some attaboys to the people who made this happen. Burt Humburg and I just finished an article for Skeptic magazine where we went into a lot of detail on the behind-the-scenes aspects…
