		<description>Wow. If only the mainstream media could be so anxious to correct its misconceptions.

I am impressed.</description>

		<description>I did not call Judge Kozinski “conservative because Ronald Reagan appointed him&quot;--although the fact that Regan appointed him should be an indication of his conservative leanings. Ronald Regan did not appoint &quot;liberals&quot; to the bench.

Rather, I drew to you attention to Judge Kozinski&#039;s involvement with the Federalist Society, which is a conservative group that advocates a strict construction of the constitution, as well as many other core conservative principles. Trust me, Kozinski is universally regarded as a conservative jurist. 

We have not even gotten into the obsessed attorney who has been dogging Kozinski because  Kozinski put the final kybosh on the attorney&#039;s attempts to re-litigate his parent&#039;s long over divorce case (which was a STATE COURT case). We do not want FEDERAL COURTS interfering with family law cases in state court do we? 

Unfortunately, The LA Times reported that the material was &quot;porn&quot; (including &quot;bestiality&quot;) because the judge was presiding over a &quot;porn&quot; trial, that makes for a much sexier story. [One DC blog has described Kozinski’s “collection” as “the sort of naughtiness you’d find in the dirty birthday cards section at Spencer Gifts.”

I am not familiar with your website, but on first impression it does not look at the kind of site mired in political correctness—like the feminist blogs that are attacking Kozinski for the “cow” pic. 

I am glad you like the cow pic, but honestly, I have seen worse in Penthouse and Playboy—not good reasons to toss perfectly good strict constructionist jusges off the bench.  

BTW, the &quot;porn&quot; that the defendant distributed in the pending trial bore no resemblance to the judge&#039;s collection of ribald emailed items. It consisted of commercial films of women with excrement smeared on their faces.</description>

		<description>Alright Stephan, I did a bit of digging, as your comment contained such detail and there are a few things I will correct about Judge Kozinski. 
However, calling the Judge &quot;conservative&quot; because Ronald Reagan appointed him doesn&#039;t cut it. Look at George H.W. Bush and that Souter appointment.
Now I am not going to hit the Judge again, because I have learned something that will be posted here. But I have to say the idea that this guy was adhering to some conservative principle while looking at the cow chicks…c&#039;mon man.

Anyway, pat ypurself on the back regardless, as you have done a good deed for the day. Check the post in a day or so and you will be pleased.

I am going to keep the &quot;fly down and get some cow bitches pic&quot; it really belongs in the Louvre.</description>

		<description>The title of your web post on Chief Judge Alex Kozinski identifies him as a “liberal judge”. You could not be more wrong. 

The judge was appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan (a conservative, obviously)  in 1985. 

Judge Kozinski is a former Law Clerk to Chief Justice Warren E. Burger (a conservative), 1976-77; and Law Clerk to Circuit Judge Anthony M. Kennedy (who now sits on the US Supreme Court), 1975-76. 

Judge Kozinski is an active member of the Federalist Society—a group that generally espouses strict construction of the US Constitution. (Other Federalist Society members include US Supreme Court Justice Anton Scalia).

Judge Kozinski, who screens potential clerks for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, says that seeing the Federalist Society on a résumé &quot;tells me you&#039;re of a particular philosophy, and I tend to give an edge to people I agree with philosophically.&quot;

Federalism, in its most basic form, is the idea that the federal government shouldn&#039;t encroach on the powers that the Constitution allegedly has reserved to the states. But the Federalist Society is an umbrella organization embracing all right-wing causes.

Federalist arguments include: Sexual-harassment and gender-equality laws impose illegitimate burdens on business; the powers of the Environmental Protection Agency should be exercised by the free market or, at most, by local or state government; juries are too unpredictable to be given the power to award punitive damages against large corporations but legitimate enough to be empowered to impose the death penalty; welfare laws by and large should be repealed; hate crimes are not a separate and more reprehensible category of criminal behavior than crimes not motivated by animus toward people of different races or sexual orientation; and the right of the people to keep and bear arms means empowering individuals to take up arms, not just preserving organized state-based militias. 

Nation Magazine online, who has described the Federalist Society as “…a home for young conservatives…”,  said in a June 13 on-line article:

“Meanwhile, under the dispassionate guise of a debating organization, the Federalist Society is working to prepare a powerful next generation of conservative corporate lawyers, judges, top government officials and decision-makers committed to fundamental change.” (See, )

In short not only is Judge Kozinski a conservative jurist who is dedicated to conservative principles of Federalism, his is the ANTITHESIS of the type of judges and justices that Barack Obama can be expected to appoint in the unfortunate event that he is elected president.

Finally, I have looked at the so called “porn” that was attributed to Judge Kozinski, and it is nothing more than the kind of raunchy sexual humor that gets emailed around all the time.

While some feminists might take offense, it is no reason to malign this  very bright and conservative jurist.

If you do that, you are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. 

 PS: The so called “bestialty” video is on You Tube–features a guy in a field who dropped his drawers to take leak and was being chased by an arround by an arroused donkey in a field. The video is intended has humor, and is not “porn” on any level.</description>
