9th Circuit's chief judge posted sexually explicit matter on his website

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 said he would delete some material from his site, including the photo depicting women as cows, which he said was "degrading . . . and just gross." He also said he planned to get rid of a graphic step-by-step pictorial in which a woman is seen shaving her pubic hair.

Kozinski said he must have accidentally uploaded those images to his server while intending to upload AU: (them to his laptop) something else. "I would not keep those files intentionally," he said. The judge pointed out that he never used appeals court computers to maintain the site.

The sexually explicit material on Kozinski's site earlier this week was extensive, including images of masturbation, public sex and contortionist sex. There was a slide show striptease featuring a transsexual, and a folder that contained a series of photos of women's crotches as seen through snug fitting clothing or underwear. There were also themes of defecation and urination, though they are not presented in a sexual context.

Careful when you ask aloud who appointed him . . .
Which will then leave you surprised that it isn't in the first paragraph of the story.

Back in the day, Lyndon Johnson’s Presidential Commission on Pornography published their report including all the explicit photos. Worst stuff I ever saw.

This court should be abolished — it is nothing but a bunch of leftist liberal hacks, who exist to further the liberal radical agenda, and whose illegal and perverted decisions get overturned more than any court in the land.

Just fire them all.

Can the mods post this in breaking news? This guy is one of the most liberal judges on the 9th circuit.

In any other profession he would be forced to resign.

***CLICK THE LINK, AND READ THE ARTICLE***
You WILL be shocked!
“ He was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1985. He has a national reputation for a brilliant legal mind and has developed a reputation as a champion of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression. Several year ago, for example, after learning that appeals court administrators had placed filters on computers that denied access to pornography and other materials, Kozinski led a successful effort to have the filters removed.”

Kozinski is not one of the most liberal judges on the 9th Circuit. Not even close. He’s a libertarian in some areas, but he’s often lumped in with the conservatives by the left.

Kozinski, who was named chief judge of the 9th Circuit last year, is considered a judicial conservative on most issues. He was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1985.

:(

It’s the most Liberal Appeals Court. Why should we be surprised?

Not only is he a strong conservative/libertarian, he was often mentioned as a candidate for the Supreme Court during Bush(41) administration.

He is a brilliant writer, and regularly lampoons left-wing decisions that he feels have no Constitutional basis.

Sorry to see that he has some very nasty skeletons in his closet.

The problem with the system is that the President takes suggestions for appointments from the District Senators.
So, GOP Presidents have appointed wingnuts to the bench.
This practice is fundamentally crazy.
