Of course, the new judicial code of conduct, canon 5, says not to be in politics if you are a judge.

Judge Kosinski, that means you must leave the sordid sex details to governors and congress folk.

Admonishing this guy is the stupidest thing ever. I fail to see how a judge enjoying strange pornography is an embarrassment to the judiciary. (Setting aside the case he was on at the time… as you can probably tell, I think obscenity laws for adult film producers are pretty stupid.)

Using this logic, we should all be admonished for failing to “safeguard [our] sphere of privacy” because we’re all sending email / making phone calls out in the open without using cryptography to foil the NSA.

Yet another puritanical disgrace.

Humm,

I remember a case where the Judge and a few of us were playing poker in the jury room. He excused himself to go and do a sentencing for gambling. Now that was class.

“The council described the material as including “a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal.”

So if you are about to be sentenced by him,as he looks at you is he seeing these images of you in his head?

That’s just funny.

Since pornography is intimately linked to libido, didn’t they just call his sex drive “judicially imprudent” and an “embarrassment”?

I’m pretty sure in some bars, thems a fightin’ words.
