From the judge's ruling:
In his ruling, Jones said that while intelligent design, or ID, arguments "may be true, a proposition on which the court takes no position, ID is not science." Among other things, the judge said intelligent design "violates the centuries-old ground rules of science by invoking and permitting supernatural causation"; it relies on "flawed and illogical" arguments; and its attacks on evolution "have been refuted by the scientific community."
It's nice to see rationality appear in the judiciary every so often.
Sure enough, the Discovery Institute has accused the judge of being "activist" and "attempting to censor science education".
Which goes to reinforce my long held assertion that the phrase "Judicial Activism" really stands for "I didn't like the decision, and I can't attack the legalities of it - so I'll attack the judge instead".
