In the Judges Own Words from Ocellated on December 23, 2005 12:59 AM
Depending on your tolerance for bad behavior, it’s either been kind of funny or sad to watch people rip apart the judge for his ruling in Dover. Funny because people are literally trying to say that the judge didn’t say what he said, in or... Read More

Is it just me, or are conservative websites ignoring this court decision? I notice that “Drudge Report” says nothing about it. And I notice that the Weekly Standard web site makes no comment. You would think the issue would be of high interest to its readers. And obviously there is no point in trying to protect their readers from the issue (which they will see in other traditional outlets). Is this just part of the political game–never make a big deal of your defeats?
I, too, am hoping that people that monitor the ID-friendly news and ‘net outlets will post here any and all attempts to explain, minimize, criticize, whine about, or otherwise spin the Dover decision.

And this is the most troubling. The argument that the 14th amendment does not apply, which is the opinion of Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas (see the Newdow opinion for example). If the 14 amendment does not apply to Establishement, then ID is in. This is the serious threat!

An pre-ruling piece on the 14th issue:

I’m not a lawyer or a constitutional scholar, but it seems to me that the 14th Amendment doesn’t matter to this case. Judge Jones clearly states in his decision that the DASB’s policy violated the constitution of the State of Pennsylvania as well as the U.S. Constitution (pp. 134-136 of his opinion). The states’-rights people who are excoriating Jones for imposing federal control over a state-level issue haven’t read his opinion very carefully.
Thanks so much for this collection of links. I found a fabulous line from the decision, which should be imortalized here on PT:
Wow!
If you live in PA then the state constitution would bar ID, per Jones’ argument. As a Tennessean and most other states, this would not be the case.

Oh he listened alright. West just has to understand that sometimes the answer is “No.”
The Kansas Kooks had better read this.
Twice.
