"Is it science yet?"

Just as the first challenge to the constitutionality of teaching 
"intelligent design" in the public school science classroom is 
underway in the trial of Kitzmiller v. Dover, Matthew J. Brauer, 
Barbara Forrest, and Steven G. Gey offer a definitive assessment of 
the legal issues involved in their new law review article "Is it 
science yet? Intelligent design creationism and the Constitution," 
published in Washington University Law Quarterly (2005; vol. 83, no. 
1). With almost 150 pages of closely reasoned argument and almost 600 
footnotes of meticulous documentation, "Is it science yet?" (1M PDF) 
is sure to become the leading treatment of the constitutionality of 
teaching "intelligent design" for the foreseeable future.
