Judge Jones interview

Reported at Little Green Footballs.
One interesting bit...

Gitschier: Regarding the Memorandum Opinion itself, I found parts of it astonishing. You used words like "mendacity," "sham," "breath-taking inanity of the board's decision."

....

[Jones:]  In the realm of the lay witnesses, if you will, some of the school board witnesses were dreadful witnesses and hence the description "breathtaking inanity" and "mendacity." In my view, they clearly lied under oath. They made a very poor account of themselves. They could not explain why they did what they did. They really didn't even know what intelligent design was. It was quite clear to me that they viewed intelligent design as a method to get creationism into the public school classroom. They were unfortunate and troublesome witnesses. Simply remarkable, in that sense.
