Judge Kozinski (no relation to unibomber Ted Kaczynski) is the Reagan-appointed Chief Judge on the notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit. The big case in the Ninth right now is an obscenity case. Turns out that Judge Kozinski had sexually explicit content on his website. I won't go into what the images entailed, you can read the article for yourself. So far the trial has been suspended for possible conflict issues, and Kozinski has called for an investigation on himself.
I think the jaws of many law students across the country dropped when that story hit the news. Or we started laughing. And we all thought the same two things: oh ninth circuit, oh Reagan appointee (translate: conservative).
