Santorum quits advisory board of losers' lawyers in Intelligent Design case

U.S. Senator Rick Santorum
(Republican of Pennsylvania)

"It is vitally important that the Thomas More Law Center is out there with competent people representing our values, because once we do our job, it goes to the courts, and in many cases, it gets undone."

-- U.S. Senator Rick Santorum
(on website of Thomas More Law Center)

Save this is a cyber-souvenir! It's the page, clicked fresh today, from the website of the Thomas More Law Center, which defended the Dover, Pennsylvania School Board in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, the federal lawsuit about Intelligent Design which was just decided Tuesday.

(The Dover School Board lost -- but they won't be appealing the federal decision because Dover's voters kicked them all out of office several months ago.)

The reason it's a valuable souvenir is that U.S. Senator Rick Santorum just announced he's quitting his affiliation with Thomas More, he's leaving its Advisory Board. So as soon as they get around to cleaning up their website, Santorum (the superconservative Republican who equates same-sex marriage with incest and bestiality) won't be here anymore!

Check out these other right-wing nut jobs. And if you ever need good, competent legal representation in a case involving Freedom of Religion or Separation of Church and State -- Vleeptron suggests you DON'T get represented by the Thomas More Law Center.

Jeremiah A. Denton, Rear Admiral USN (Ret.)

Jeremiah A. Denton, Jr. first came to the attention of the American public during a television interview arranged by his North Vietnamese captors in 1966. Expected to give "proper responses" to a journalist's recitation of alleged American war atrocities, Denton responded that he believed in the position of his government and that "I will support it as long as I live." Throughout the interview while responding to questions, Denton blinked his eyes in Morse Code repeatedly spelling out the covert message "TORTURE." His message was the first confirmation that American POWs were being mistreated. Jeremiah Denton was subjected to severe torture during his nearly eight years as a POW. He became the first American military captive to be subjected to four years of solitary confinement. Denton's extraordinary account of endurance and religious faith while imprisoned in Vietnam was told in his 1976 book "When Hell Was in Session."

After his release in 1973, Denton continued his military career ultimately achieving the rank of Rear Admiral. Upon retirement from the Navy, Denton was elected to the U.S. Senate, the first Republican ever elected by the popular vote to represent Alabama. Denton has spoken widely on the need to restore America's founding principles by adopting laws and policies that reflect obedience to the will of God.
