John E. Jones III is a Republican judge from Pennsylvania. He was appointed by President George W. Bush and has presided over many cases. One such case, the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, was brought by the parents of 11 students from the Dover school district to remove Intelligent Design from district classrooms. Jones ruled that it should be removed, and this has sparked a controversy.
Jones accused the pro-intelligent design School Board in the Kitzmiller case of deceitful tactics, but of course this was his opinion, and not prosecuted.[1] However, the WorldNetDaily stated: "A historic judicial ruling against intelligent design theory hailed as a "broad, stinging rebuke" and a "masterpiece of wit, scholarship and clear thinking" actually had material in its "finding of facts" that was "cut and pasted" from a brief by ACLU lawyers and includes many of their provable errors, contends the Seattle-based Discovery Institute." [2][3]
After the trial, Judge Jones signed an order that prohibited any appeal of his decision and awarded over $2 million in legal fees to the ACLU's side.
