Judge Alex Kozinski

In California there is a closely watched obscenity trial underway. It's the classic story- is pornography art or obscene? Hours of the most vulgar type of pornography are about to be viewed by jurors.

The federal judge in the trial is Alex Kozinski of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge is known to be a staunch supporter of the 1st Amendment. He believes pornography is a form of freedom of speech. Furthermore, his personal website was just found with several horrible pornography pictures. He agreed that he put some pictures on there. Then, he blamed his son for putting pictures on there. This is not acceptable for our judges to upholding this standard. There is a clear conflict of interest.

We are waiting to hear if he will be removed from this trial.

Here are a few press releases from interested organizations regarding the trial:
Girls Against Porn
Vision America
Concerned Women For America
