KNIGHT: Obama's porn king at Justice (11 repukes vote to confirm Ogden)
Washington Times ^ | 3/18/2009 | Robert Knight

Posted on 03/18/2009 2:51:32 AM PDT by markomalley

Under President Obama, it was expected that porn pushers might find a sympathetic ear, given the smut industry's generous support of liberal politicians and causes.

But the fox is no longer circling the henhouse. He's made it inside. On March 12, the "world's greatest deliberative body," the U.S. Senate, voted 65 to 28 to elevate porn attorney David Ogden to be deputy attorney general.

Eleven senators from the "Party of Family Values" (Lamar Alexander, Kit Bond, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Judd Gregg, Jon Kyl, Richard Lugar, presidential nominee John McCain, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter and George Voinovich) joined a nearly unanimous Democrat roster (minus Robert Casey of Pennsylvania) in deciding that a man who defended child pornography during the Clinton years, as well as hard-core porn producers, plus Playboy and Penthouse, is suited to be the No. 2 law enforcer in the nation.

(snip)

Mr. Ogden's elevation marks a major victory for pornographers, the abortion industry and the homosexual movement, among others. It's hard to imagine a more radical nominee in terms of legal social engineering.

On Nov. 4, 1993, in a vote of 100 to 0, the U.S. Senate passed a nonbinding resolution censuring the Justice Department for refusing to defend the conviction of a child pornographer. In that case, Knox v. United States, Mr. Ogden had filed a friend of the court brief for the American Civil Liberties Union that argued that close-ups of children's crotches in videos such as "Little Girl Bottoms (Underside)" and "Little Blondes" were not child pornography and thus merited constitutional protection.

I wonder if we’ll see that tidbit in the MSM.

Not if it interferes with their coverage of Sarah Palin's teenage daughter's breakup with her boyfriend.

In other words, the whole damned Senate stinks.

Thanks for the confirmation.

McCain never misses a chance to stab conservatives in the back.

Romans 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

Rom 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

***

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

So basically, social conservatives have 28 senators we can count on. Not comforting, but at least we know where we stand.

And some around these FR pages wonder why we weren’t more supportive of McPain and others who have the GOP label. If you feed the alligators they don’t become your friends, they just get bigger and more hungry. Snow, Collins, Spector, McCain, etc. The only time conservatives need them, they aren’t there — in fact, they agree with our enemies. We need to draw the line now and say, “never again.” Not one dime of support, not any political assistance, none, ever.

Romans Chapter One and the current headlines: interchangeable.
