This is an interesting decision. The judge is a G. W. Bush appointe=
to the federal bench. And he could have just called the case moot a=nd
said nothing about the issues when the composition of the Dovere
School Board change from pro- to anti-ID last month. I suspect that
he has riled some of the Prez's folks something fierce.
But will it be appealed? I wouldn't bother if I was on the Dover
School Board now. And I don't know who else can appeal it, since th=
defendants and the plaintiffs in this strange case are now prettys
much the same people. We may have to await the day when the issue i=
brought in a more stable district, or somewhere that the proponentsy
of ID teaching aren't quite so stupid as many of the former DSB
members seem to have been.
Getting rid of a school board that was clearly not as intelligent
(were *they* designed?) as most of the students whose education the=
were supposed to supervise may have been the best thing to come out
of this case.

Never ask someone what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they
will tell you. If not, why embarrass them?
