Lucky for the ACLU, NCSE, and their crowd that dimwit Jones was easily swayed. I might have gone along with them as well, were I the Judge, since he elicited much personal gain out of the trial.
Buckingham and the schoolboard, who didn't even know the current definition of ID, were guilty of (possibly) having a religious motive behind their actions.

Summarily rejecting 'design', after a critical analysis of the current data, requires blinders.
