At Evolution News, Michael Francisco responds to critics who claim the newly elected anti-ID Dover School Board had no chance of saving Dover taxpayers a million dollars by repealing the ID policy before Judge Jones issued his decision. After citing ample court precedent suggesting that their repealing the policy may indeed have mooted the case and saved Dover a million dollars in ACLU attorney fees, Francisco asks:

If there was nothing to be lost by rescinding the policy, would not even a slight chance of success have led a prudent school board to take advantage of the opportunity? Their choice resulted in an absolute guarantee that if the ID policy were struck down, then the Dover Area School District would be obliged to pay $1 million dollars in attorneys’ fees.
