9th Circuit, huh? Wonder which members of that body will be seated on the supreme court if Obama gets elected.

According to the LA Times, the material (on the chief of the 9th circus's website) included a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows, a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal, images of masturbation and public and contortionist sex, a slide show striptease featuring a transsexual, a series of photos of women's crotches as seen through snug fitting clothing or underwear, and content with themes of defecation and urination.

Is it any wonder why the 9th circus is a freakshow that is overruled more than any other court?

Not if Obama gets elected.

Opening statements were under way Wednesday morning when the Los Angeles Times’ Web site reported that Kozinski’s personal site contained explicit material and that public access to it was blocked after he was interviewed about it Tuesday evening.

Kozinski, 57, told the Times he thought the material, which included a video of a man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal and a picture of nude women on all fours painted to look like cows, couldn’t be seen by the public. The judge said he didn’t believe any of the images were obscene, the Times reported.

From wikipedia:

In 2004, Judge Kozinski was elected the Number 1 Male Superhottie of the federal judiciary by a vote held by the weblog "Underneath Their Robes".

Really. Maybe Judge John Holmes can resign the bench and go hook up with Seymour Butts to embark on the career he always dreamed of in the adult film industry.

Notice how these activist judges don’t recluse themselves from any hearings. He was probably waiting to see photos and videos which would be used as evidence.

I wanted to reply to this in an intelligent manner, but words completely fail me. To think that a judge would be so twisted!

In an unusual twist, the trial is being presided over by the chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinski, under a program that allows appellate judges to occasionally handle criminal trials at the District Court level. Kozinski is known as a strong defender of free speech and First Amendment rights.

Asked how long they would have to watch the movies, Kozinski told them it would be about five hours and "I will be there watching with you. This is part of the job we're doing."


All part of the job, huh? "Just don't throw me in the briar patch!"

I hope this deranged "judge" gets a few years behind bars as well. Sick.
