We’ll start with news that’s a bit old but did you see the story about the 9th Circus Court of Appeasers judge caught with porn on his computer?
Remember, this is the appeals court that is overwhelmingly leftist and anti-American values.
One of the highest-ranking federal judges in the United States, who is currently presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles, has maintained a publicly accessible website featuring sexually explicit photos and videos.
Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged in an interview with The Times that he had posted the materials, which included a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. Some of the material was inappropriate, he conceded, although he defended other sexually explicit content as “funny.”
Kozinski, 57, said that he thought the site was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public, although he also said he had shared some material on the site with friends. After the interview Tuesday evening, he blocked public access to the site.
You’ll love this: the story was on NPR last night and it sounded like one of those, “oh, what’s so bad about what he did” interviews when the NPR broad slipped in that this judge was appointed by Ronald Reagan.
INCREDIBLE!! If the judge had been appointed by Clinton or Carter we’d not have heard a peep about it. But Reagan? Hey! The judge is powerful. A porn-hound. Appointed by Reagan. Probably conservative. It all fits!!!
What was on his computer? Ed Morrissey says:
The images included farm animals, women painted as farm animals, transsexuals, and excretory functions. Kozinski told the LA Times that he didn’t intend to store those images and must have mistaken them for other, less bizarre pictures and videos.
Uh-huh.
And while we can point to the 9th Circuit as the most liberal appellate bench in the nation, Kozinski is a Reagan appointee and considered one of the court’s more conservative members.
Kozinski may want to recuse himself from this obscenity case. Clearly, the exposure of this part of Kozinski’s private life will cause some to question his objectivity in determining the the community standards involved in adjudicating obscenity. Given the descriptions of Kozinski’s gallery, I doubt he’s in much of a position to know those standards in any case.
Patterico has a whole bunch of the pictures on the judge’s computers. The ones you see are OK but the ones in the links? NSFW!!! Some are pretty nasty!
And, finally, to really piss you off, here’s one where a lesbian activist judge was appointed by a governor as judge to a “FAMILY COURT” despite objections by the Massachusetts Governor’s Council!
