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."

mooooooooo!
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.
9th stick-it-to-me court
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.
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.” ?
He's still a great judge.
If he was a liberal we would never have heard about this.
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.
And he is supposed to have the brains to judge? Oopps! I forgot he is from the 9th circus.
The Times would like nothing better than to knock him out as Chief Judge of the Circus.
Look for more under Obama.
“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.
Well, maybe. But he was appointed the 9th Circuit by Ronald Reagan, becoming the youngest US Appeals Court judge ever, at 35. He had worked as council to the Reagan transition team, and as a White House Council. He only became Chief Judge of the 9th last November. He probably dissented on many of the 9th Circus rulings we are all familiar with.
The site in question was not a government site, but his own personal one. He claims he did not know the stuff was publicly accessible. Apparently there were no links to it, but if you knew the path, you could view or download it.
I, for one, solute you! :^)
He's 57 years old, give him a break, at least on that aspect. Not all of us old folks have been using computers since the '60s, as this one has.
“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.”
WOW! God is on FreeRepublic!
Or maybe it is just someone who is arrogant enough to presume to speak for God.
I was waiting for someone to say this. You won the prize. Ever heard of tongue in cheek? I guess you haven’t.
Ignore the Post Nazis. Only folks you need to worry about are the mods, who will zot your butt in a nanosecond if you repeatedly and intentionally ignore the posting etiquette. Don’t let the anklebiters piss you off too badly.
You are right. I spoke too quickly, presuming this behavior was the mark of an abject liberal. Clearly, he has taken conservative positions on issues...but the behavior is no less reprehensible, whatever the source.
Does he have a box of playboy’s in the garage?
[cue Nancy Cartwright as you-know-who]
“Well, don’t have a cow, man!”
Tongue in cheek is a lame excuse for belatedly realizing that you put your foot in cheek. Try not to be so damned preachy and folks will like ya more.
You do not know me. I would not presume to equate myself with God or anyone near Him.
How can we initiate impeachment proceedings against this clown?
If “normal channels” don’t provide a near term solution, I’ll settle for a newspaper or other public petition process.
Alex Kozinski
I’m sorry fellas, I did not mean to turn this into a gotcha thread...Lighten up and love your neighbor.
Kozinski’s first judicial appointment was as chief judge at the newly formed United States Court of Federal Claims in 1982. In 1985, age 35, Kozinski was appointed to a new seat at the Ninth Circuit by Reagan, making him the youngest federal appeals court judge in the country. Defending the court against criticism because of a controversial decision, Kozinski went on record emphasizing the independence of the judges: “It seems to me that this is what makes this country truly great — that we can have a judiciary where the person who appoints you doesn’t own you.”[2] He also took a stand against the charge that the Ninth Court is overly liberal, which led some to call it “The Notorious Ninth”: “And yet I can say with some confidence that cries that the 9th Circuit is so liberal are just simply misplaced.”
Another of Kozinski’s highest-profile cases to date was the lawsuit filed by Mattel against the Danish pop-dance group Aqua for “turning Barbie into a sex object” in their song “Barbie Girl.” Kozinski opened the case with “If this were a sci-fi melodrama, it might be called Speech-Zilla meets Trademark Kong” and famously concluded his opinion with the words: “The parties are advised to chill.” Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc., 296 F.3d 894, 908 (9th Cir. 2002).
Do you suppose this to be an attempt to get the defendants in the case grounds for an appeal... by smearing the judge who’s running the trial?
