Alex Kozinski, who is presiding over an obscenity trial in L.A., admits he posted sexually explicit photos and videos. He says he didn't think the public could see the site, which is now blocked.

One of the highest-ranking federal judges in the United States, who is currently presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles, has maintained his own 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."

We warned you USA, gay marriage is only a trojan horse to redefine marriage and the family. The nuclear family, the one that Marx called an abomination.

Marriage will become whatever you define it to be, 2 guys , 2 girls, 2 girls 1 guy, 1 guy 2 girls, 1 guy and a child,1 guy and an animal, etc,etc.

Kozinski is a conservative and is one of the few sane judges in the Ninth Circus asylum. Sorry to see flap erupt because this Senate wouldn't confirm a replacement like him.

He's got a history tending toward "Good Guy".

From the opinion he wrote on a Second Amendment case a few years back:

My excellent colleagues have forgotten these bitter lessons of history. The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed--where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

Inappropriate? The pervert should be tarred and featherd, horse whipped, and then run out of America on a rail.

This is the type of indivudla Obama will raise to the supreme court.

How long dear God? How long?

What’s the famous quote, “ I can’t define obscenity, but I know what I like.” ?

[Darren McCarty]

Oh no. That's who I wanted appointed to SCOTUS. That won't happen now.

He's still a great judge.

[SF Republican]

If he was a liberal we would never have heard about this.

[Jeff Head]

Sorry, he may well have made a few good decisions in the past...but this behavior is intolerable and not the behavior of a conservative chief justice in the least.

"He says he didn't think the public could see the site, which is now blocked.

And he is supposed to have the brains to judge? Oopps! I forgot he is from the 9th circus.

I wouldn't take the LA Times' description necessarily at face value. The guy has an off beat sense of humor and it sounds like a lot of this stuff is photos and photoshops he found funny that involved some nudity.

The Times would like nothing better than to knock him out as Chief Judge of the Circus.

Look for more under Obama.

Ok I get that this was almost on the same page. I would like to say though that I'm about sick of you “already posted police” I come HERE for my news and not to search for news if this is to much for you then I guess I'll leave! good lord I understand if this posts are back to back but if there are a couple hours in between the article could be three pages down. I cannot read every second of every day.I know I could go to breaking but all I want to do is have a quick glance at the article and decide if I want to get into it. for all you keyboard warriors this must be irritating but screw you, hell it took me ten minutes to type this!!

“How long dear God? How long?”

For as long as you banish ME from your society with the excuse of wanting to separate Church and State. You must live either with ME or without ME. The choice is yours.

A Ronald Reagan appointee who is the most conservative judge on the 9th Circuit? I don't think so.
