The Remains of the Day
"After having to endure personal attacks and in some case threats since his ruling in the Dover Area School District intelligent design case, it was nice to see federal Judge John E. Jones III receive the prestigious accolade of being named among Time magazine's "100 World's Most Influential People," says an editorial in The Patriot News.
"... Jones says he's flattered at the honor, but showing the same sense of humor he's known for in the courtroom, noted he's likely in 'minute 14 1/2' of Andy Warhol's proverbial 15 minutes of fame. 'This will pass and I will be back to more mundane things,' Jones said."
"But a ruling many experts consider legally brilliant and masterful will remain."
We agree.
