A Comparison of Judge Jones’ Opinion in Kitzmiller v. Dover with
Plaintiffs’ Proposed “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law”
Judge Jones relied heavily on quotations from the ACLU. The fact that the ACLU has not accused him of plagarism demonstrates that the ACLU allowed Jones to use its comments on ID virtually verbatim. This calls into question the independence of the American Judicial system and is damaging to the ACLU cause again ID.
Just one quote from a paper written by the Discovery Institute.
""" In fact, 90.9% (or 5,458 words) of Judge Jones’ 6,004-word section on intelligent design as science was taken virtually verbatim from the ACLU’s proposed “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” submitted to Judge Jones nearly a month before his ruling. Judge Jones even copied several clearly erroneous factual claims made by the ACLU. The finding that most of Judge Jones’ analysis of intelligent design was apparently not the product of his own original deliberative activity seriously undercuts the credibility of Judge Jones’ examination of the scientific validity of intelligent design.
