Show Notes

On this episode of IDTF Casey Luskin interviews legal analyst Seth Cooper about his article "A Textbook Case of Judicial Activism: How A Pro-ID Publisher Was Denied It's Day In Court", about the Dover intelligent design trial and the legal assault on the Foundation for Thought Ethics publisher of the pro-ID textbook, Of Pandas and People, the book central to the lawsuit.

According to Cooper, and co-author Leonard Brown, Judge Jones’s ruling "represents a troubling misuse of federal judicial power." Judge Jones construed federal rules of civil procedure to block any participation in the lawsuit by the Foundation for Thought and Ethics. Judge Jones compromised FTE's intellectual property rights through by ultimately requiring them to hand over the text of their new "Design of Life" manuscript to ID critics, and Pandas is now banned by a federal judge who said other courts should follow his opinion.
