RE: Dover Intelligent-Design Case

[Marc Stern]

One can be careful and sensitive about intruding on the authority of  local boards of education without abdicating to them. If in a particular case a school board acts in  plainly unconstitutional way and a judge shoots it down, there is no  proof that the judge is being intemperate or less than even handed. Unless of course, Jim intends  that the careful and sensitive judge can never challenge what a school board does-but the ACLJ asks judges to override school official judgments all the time. Are judges who uphold ACLJ claims insensitive  and biasaed?
