Dover "Intelligent Design" Decision To Be Released Later Today

MSNBC reports that yesterday the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania federal district court sent out an advisory e-mail saying, "Judge [John E.] Jones is expected to file his opinion in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case at some point" on Tuesday. The 6-week long trial challenging the Dover, Pennsylvania school board's decision to teach students about the theory of intelligent design has captured extensive national attention. (See prior posting.) The pleadings, briefs, and parties' proposed findings can all be accessed from a special page on the district court's website. Religion Clause will post information on the decision later today as soon as it becomes available.
