So their worried about politics...
then perhaps they should look into their precious "Discovery Institute". This place has made no secret about it's agenda, which has nothing to do with science. Goggle "Discvery Institute" and "Wedge Strategy", it will take you right to their website. A manifesto written in the late nineties shows that they are a social movement, not a scientific one. "ID" was just the beginning of a very extensive plan to shape the country to the mold of a new kind of Christian/Republican educational philosophy that centered more on "culture", that great obsession of the right, and emotional opinion then science and facts.
It was designed to reshape all of academia to create two competing worldviews, the current one, cold and unfeeling and reasoning, and their view, a loving God that gives life meaning. Pretty soon, their view was destined to win out based solely on selling points. And then all of academia would have to discuss everything through a "christian" lens. Returning us to the days before the enlightenment.
I consider this new "setback" on their part a good sign. First they couldn't mention God, then they couldn't even hint about a creator, now they are reduced to trying to challenge evolution based on it's "gaps". If that's the best they can do, there may be hope for us left.
