9th Circus Court of Appeals… & Porn

The 9th Circus, as the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is affectionately referred to by Michael Savage, is in the news again. Not for its strident advocacy of gay marriage or some such nonsense, but because Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the panel, has a little porn problem, investigation ongoing. You can read his side of the story here.

Seems an determined rival found the porn stash on the judge's internet-enabled hard drive. Ironically, this came to light while the court was considering the prosecution of a hard-core pornographer. Sources say the judge is incredibly arrogant, so he's probably made a lot of enemies. He looks arrogant in the picture. That clipped-haired lady to his left looks like she ain't no picnic either. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of her gavel.

This is the most liberally twisted appeals court in the US and a hotbed of judicial activism. An appeals court is also the final step before the Supreme Court, so this is really the big leagues. George Will wrote a trenchant analysis in the Washington Post of just how bad this body is. It’s a good read, as is anything from Mr. Will. Check it out.
