HOLIDAY JOY

My friend Steve sent me this joyful note.

Bunny,

I heard the hallelujah honks out my window last evening! Everett tried to tell me it was just the Jamestown Tech Raiders beating Celeron Applied, but I don't believe it for a minute. Who wouldn't be leaning on a car horn at the news of Judge Jones' gloriously blistering rebuke of the Jesus freaks? My favorite bit in his ruling:

". . .Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge. If so, they will have erred, as this is manifestly not an activist court. Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on Intelligent Design, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. The BREATHTAKING INANITY of the Board's decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting UTTER WASTE of monetary and personal resources. . ."

And sho enough, what did the loser Discovery Institute call Judge Jones? "An activist judge who has dreams of grandeur."

I've attached a PDF file of the entire ruling to this email. Print it out and read aloud near Bible-potatoes on the subway (once the MTA is back up and running, NYCers).

Oh, and there's even the possiblity of a perjury trial against two of the Dover school board, the ones Judge Jones all but calls liars:

I love the line in there where one of them says, "I'm still waiting for a judge or anyone to show me anywhere in the Constitution where there's a separation of church and state."

Zipadee-doo-dah! Have a wonderful day!
