PORN TRIAL JUDGE HAS PORN ON PERSONAL WEBSITE

Judge Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, seems to really enjoy his latest assignment, a beastiality porn trial. So much so he has some of those kinds of images on his own website. This is one judge I wouldn’t interrupt when he’s in his chambers. Kinky dude. He was overseeing an obscenity trial when a newspaper reported he had sexually explicit photos and videos on his own site. The Los Angeles Times reported that the site contained explicit material – including a picture of naked women on all fours, painted like cows, and a video of a half-naked man frolicking with a sexually aroused farm animal. Ok, we’ve moved from kinky to the realm of weird. I’m not sure who should be on trial here. The defendant in the case, shock video producer Ira Isaacs, 57, is accused of violating obscenity laws by selling movies depicting bestiality and fetishes involving feces and urination. The movies involved included films such as Gang Bang Horse, Pony Sex Game, Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7, and Laurie's Toilet Show. Such creative titles. This guy’s an artistic genius. That was sarcasm for those that don’t recognize it.  “I see myself as a shock artist that has sex in some of the films,” Isaacs said in an interview  “People don't buy my videos because they want to watch people having sex. Regular porn does that. I need to convince people that mine is serious art.” Good luck with that. It didn’t work with me. The trial had already drawn attention because of the shocking nature of the videos in question, which the jury were required to watch. They have my sympathy. Judge Kozinski said he had thought the images on his site were not viewable by the public, and that he'd stored them their for private use and to share with a few friends. What kind of friends does he have? There’s more like him out there? He knows them? Are they a cult we should know about? He didn't believe any of the images were obscene, the L.A. Times reported, but thought that a few of the pictures were 'funny'. Humor, OK thanks for defining that for me. Doesn’t that constitute a judgement on the case?  “Is it prurient? I don't know what to tell you,” he told the newspaper. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life.” OK, I’ve been around. I even grew up on a farm. This was not a part of our life. Although there was a guy down the road… This judge needs to seek counseling and I don’t mean the legal kind. The trial was suspended due to overwhelming weirdness and the judge was obviously enjoying this way too much. We won’t even get into the conflict of interest issues here. The court reporter was probably bringing him cocktails and a goat during court recess. Creepy.
