CNN reports that a liberal, activist, baby-killing, greenhouse gas-hating, America-hating, terrorist-loving, Happy Holidays-saying, Christmas-hating judge has ruled "intelligent design" unconstitutional.

Oh, and he's probably a pedophile.

The case, Kitzmiller v. Dover, which the ACLU has been vehemently fighting all year, ended yesterday when Judge John E. Jones, III, of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, ruled that the Dover Area School Board was in violation of the First Amendment in its use of "intelligent design" in biology classrooms. Jones also said that several school board members lied in an attempt to cover their religious motivations.

In the 139-page opinion (!), Jones said, "We find that the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board's real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom." Jones is unimpressed by claims from ID advocates who say that ID is a scientific theory. In going through the history of creationism in schools, Jones notes, "[R]eligious opponents of evolution began cloaking religious beliefs in scientific sounding language and then mandating that schools teach the resulting 'creation science' or 'scientific creationism' as an alternative to evolution." Intelligent design, he says, is just another one of those attempts to circumvent the First Amendment by cloaking a religioius philosophy in the language of science.

The opinion, of course, will be appealed to the U.S. Circuit Court for the Third Circuit, which has jurisdiction over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
