Ninth Circuit's chief judge posted porn on his personal website

Only in the 9th Circuit. Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, posted porn on his personal website, which could be viewed by members of the public. Oops.
The images included naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a dude arousing farm animals.

The website is now down.

This was stupid of Kozinski, but the matter should end with his embarrassment. I'll give him props for owning up to this and not engaging in a cover up. Kozinski said that the images were funny, and just a part of human life. He admitted that people send him similar images all the time.

The honesty is refreshing.

The LA Times article on Kozinski and his website can be found here.
