Not such a good day for the Federal Judiciary.

[Stepan12]

Tne Liberal version of free speech is nude dancing and porno movies -- not political speech.

Judge Kozinski is merely walking the walk and talking the talk.

It's part of life," Judge Kozinski told the Times

That's odd. Naked women on all fours painted to look like cows are not part of my life.

[teacherwoes]

It's the 9th Circuit. Should we expect anything less?

The site also contained pictures of urination and defecation, though they were "not presented in a sexual context," the paper said.

This cat is SICK!

[awake-n-angry]

What is “cavorting” and how does one tell if a farm animal is aroused?

[Yo-Yo]

Justice Potter Stewart said of pornography “I know it when I see it,” so Judge Kozinski was just making sure he knew it.

[Free State Four]

He's got an international reputation that is well deserved."

I'll say.

But even worse, he blames his kids for his porn site. Sheesh. What a weeeeeeeeeeenie.

[vpintheak]

So his defenders are saying, he is a sick freak, but he is a great judge. Doesn’t matter that he’s a sick freak.

[Chode]

if it's a male, well...

[Steely Tom]

One of those stories for which the headline just screams "California!"

[Biblebelter]

The stuff isn't all-American Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy pornography. It's all really weird stuff," Mr. Sanai said.

I learn something everyday, I had no idea that pornograghy had an "all-American" marketing niche.

AFAIK Judge Kozinski has a libertarian -conservative outlook.

I went into wayback machine - couldn’t find any porn on his site but did find a clip of him on the dating game show - basically he had a personal website.

[Cicero]

The sad thing is is that he is said to be one of the “conservative” minority on the court.

Personally I don’t call this kind of attitude conservative. It’s libertarian and morality-free, and on some issues therefore indistinguishable from the left.

Pornography degrades and dehumanizes women, and it degrades people like this judge who are addicted to it.

[ClearCase_guy]

during oral arguments

My God! Have they no shame? They did this in the courtroom??

[GladesGuru]

“Pornography degrades and dehumanizes women, and it degrades people like this judge who are addicted to it.”

With all due respect, I must call Bravo Sierra on the above line.

Don’t blame pornography for the judge’s behavior. Judgie Poo was an intellectual pervert all on his own. You know, personal responsibility for one’s actions, and all that stuff.

[FORTRUTHONLY]

Tne Liberal version of free speech is nude dancing and porno movies -- not political speech. Judge Kozinski is merely walking the walk and talking the talk.

Actually he is a Reagan appointee. Go figure!

[Stepan12]

Actually he is a Reagan appointee. Go figure!

Actually, I know he is a buddy of former Ayn Rand acolyte, Nathaniel Branden.

However, I just couldn't resist making that crack. I let humor overide what Kozinski is.

It won't happen again.

[popdonnelly]

These people must be self-destructive. Reminds me of Eliot Spitzer.

[FORTRUTHONLY]

I am trying to find the link where Kozinski's raise to power is detailed. I will post it once I find it.

Crack-free diets benefit no one :) Especially here!
