The most famous example of this was the Dover trial, in which the creationist roots of “intelligent design” were conclusively proven, and biologist Michael Behe, star of the ID public relations campaign, was humiliated on the witness stand. Anyone interested in this subject should read the decision by Judge John E. Jones, a Republican appointed by George W. Bush; it’s highly readable and utterly scathing in its criticisms of the charlatans who promote ID.

There’s a good episode of the PBS series NOVA about this called Judgement Day: Intelligent Design On Trial available for viewing on their website.
