ID idiots might face perjury charges!

[kay1864]

(In his ruling,) Jones also states "the inescapable truth" is that Bonsell and Buckingham lied during depositions in January concerning the donation of the intelligent design textbooks "Of Pandas and People" to the high school.

Both testified they didn't know where the donation came from. But in subsequent testimony, they stated that Buckingham had raised $850 from members of his church and given the check to Bonsell, who in turn had given it to his father.

"This mendacity was a clear and deliberate attempt to hide the source of the donations by the board president and the chair of the curriculum committee to further ensure that Dover students received a creationist alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution," Jones wrote.

Professor Richard Fallon of Harvard Law School said a judge wouldn't have the authority to level perjury charges in a case that he or she had tried. That authority would go to a prosecutor.

Steve Harvey, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said Jones would be able to forward any such concerns to federal prosecutors.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin Carlson of the Middle District of Pennsylvania said his office does not comment on what is or isn't under investigation at any particular time, unless and until charges are filed.

2. Perjury's a start

but I prefer to see them fed to lions. After all, the fundies are always squealing about being "persecuted," I say let's let 'em have some of the real deal and see how their faith holds out!

:sarcasm:

Kidding, kidding!

5. Isn't there a Commandment against bearing false witness ?

The Ten Commandments are so quaint.

And I guess they don't really apply when you're doing God's work ...

6. ID L I A R S might face perjury charges.

Do you know that there aren't any adherents of ID who, although not very intelligent, are nevertheless honest?

Do you wish to send a message that you respect people who are tricky enough to commit perjury without getting caught, but that you have contempt for people who are not that tricky?
