Independent Judiciary Strikes Again, Dealing Setback to the Georgia Taliban

Thanks to the many readers who flagged for me the decision by the Federal Court for the Northern District of Georgia holding unconstitutional the "evolution is theory, not fact" stickers that Cobb County mandated be placed on biology textbooks back in 2002.  (The Court decision is here; news stories are here and here).  This is a big setback for the zealots, since the actions of the Georgia Taliban were, by the standards of the anti-evolution know-nothings, relatively mild, and yet still the court struck it down.  There is a useful legal analysis of the opinion here, which I commend to everyone's attention.
