Endangered Specious
PZ Myearshertz found a good lawyer (with more stamina than I) who waded deeper into the ICR complaint.Andrew at Evaluating Christianity is the stalwart soul and between him and a commenter there, Kurt Denke (particularly here and here), they've pretty well demolished the legal basis of this soon-to-be-short-lived suit.
By the way, anyone who wants an OCRed copy of the complaint can now get it at Steven Schafersman's site.
Hurry up! It's going to be a collector's item soon!

Forgive my fixation on form over function, but he says, "With that in mind, the first thing that strikes me about the complaint is the bizarre, blog-like use of bold, italics, underline, large and small caps, different fonts and different font sizes — all in the first two pages. No sensible litigator would file something that looks like this in federal court."

I wouldn't want to overstate it -- I've seen some pretty bad professional paperwork in my time and, of course, Federal judges get plenty of pro se filings that they nonetheless try to treat seriously -- but it's kind of like waiting for your doctor to treat your chest pains and having a guy in a clown suit show up.
