9th Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski, Sexual Predator!

Merry XMAS!

It's just getting better and better!

Make America Great Again!





9th Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski steps down after accusations of sexual misconduct

Maura DolanContact Reporter

Alex Kozinski, a prominent voice on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, said Monday he was retiring immediately in the face of more than a dozen reports of sexual misconduct.
Kozinski, who served more than three decades on the appeals court, faced allegations that he showed clerks pornography, improperly touched women and kept a chart of his college sexual conquests.

No one in public office is immune from having their past indiscretions and misdeeds come back to get them.

Glad he is going but he should not be allowed to retire. Those women should prosecute him. Just my perspective...

Judge Kozinski, who I know personally, was one of the best conservative/libertarian appellate judges in the entire country. Maybe you guys want to dogpile Scalia next?

What the evidence?

The current progressive agenda is to undermine the the Bill of Rights, deny due process, or silence by other means. The public removal of a competent conservative judge (9th Circuit, no less.) based solely on unsubstantiated accusations is a threat to our freedom.

If these guys are innocent, maybe they need to borrow a tactic from the opposition and engage in unbridled lawfare. Attack the accusers in court and financially ruin them for life in the most lurid, public manner possible. The "wrath of a righteous man" and all that. Otherwise - maybe their accusers were justified.

Either way, actions should have consequences.

This, I'm a bit surprised at the joy here. Just because he's a Ninth Circuit Judge does not mean he's a bleeding heart. I've heard he's got a strong Libertarian Streak

Personally, I don't care about his politics if he is guilty of what is alleged. If so, he's a tool like the rest of the accused.

For the record for those of you that might be unfamiliar with my favorite flavor of sarcasm - ANY - and I mean ANY conservative working in the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of the US government is guilty of White Privilege - its how the left initiates contact during an attack...
...soldiers use the most casualty producing weapon available to the unit, liberals use ad-hominem attacks like racist, bigot, or misogynist and as often as possible it is tied to either a hatred of women or an abuse of white privilege.

Once upon a time, there was a federal judge accused of sexual misconduct; he denied the allegations and stood up for himself in a very public way during some VERY uncomfortable accusations. This federal judge not only refused to step down - he fought back and became a US Supreme Court Justice. His statement to those seeking to sully his reputation was simple and forceful:

Quote:
I think that this today is a travesty. I think that it is disgusting. I think that this hearing should never occur in America. This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation. How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country, would like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion? Or this dirt dredged up and this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner? How would any person like it?

The Supreme Court is not worth it. No job is worth it. I am not here for that. I am here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity. I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this.

This is not a closed room. There was an FBI investigation. This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace.



Coincidentally, it was Joe Biden that asked Clarence Thomas, "Do you have anything you'd like to say?"
Clarence Thomas is STILL a Supreme Court Justice because he refused to allow dirty politics to smear his "name, family, life, and integrity"
Anything less is at worst, an admission of guilt - or at best, quitting.

Such behavior transcends affiliation with any specific political party, religious group, or socioeconomic ideology. Republican, Libertarian, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, or Moderate - such things should be factually irrelevant when determining guilt.

Conservatives are supposed to be "doing it better" than their liberal counterparts - especially in today's politically hostile SJW dominated culture. If the man is guilty as charged, then he doesn't deserve ANY slack. If he is innocent, he should fight back and demand justice - justice is the very ESSENCE of the judicial branch of our government. "Justice" FEARLESSLY charges forward like Rooster Cogburn charging towards Ned Pepper - reins held tightly in his teeth, pistol in one hand, spin cocking his 1872 in the other - hell bent for a reckoning.
...or one might choose to silently fade from view.
