Ira Isaacs is being prosecuted in federal court for violating obscenity laws.  He apparently likes to make porn that deals with urine, feces, violence against women, and bestiality.  So, we’ve established that Isaacs is a complete douchebag.  That’s not really the interesting part.  The interesting part is that the judge presiding over the case has decided to initiate an ethics investigation against himself for posting porn on his own website.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The criminal prosecution of a hard-core pornographer turned into a personal trial for the presiding judge, who called for an investigation Thursday into his own conduct over lewd photos and videos stored on his family’s publicly accessible Web site.

Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asked an ethics panel of the court to initiate proceedings after the disclosure about his trove of sexually explicit material.

What kind of material, you ask?

The computerized cache included a picture of two nude women on all fours painted to look like Holstein dairy cows, images of masturbation, a video of a man being pursued by a sexually aroused donkey and a slide show featuring a striptease with a transsexual.

If you’re going to preside over an obscenity case, it’s probably not wise to let the world know that you’re into chicks with dicks and men being molested by donkeys.  At the very least, not the donkey part.

It has been long established that the 9th Circuit is completely batshit on most things, so that makes this more funny than sad.  The best part is that this case initially gained attention because of a report by the AP that potential jurors were “nauseated” by the idea that sitting on this trial would require them to actually watch Isaacs’ material.  When one potential juror asked the obvious question about how long they would have to watch video of animal fucking and fun with bodily fluids, the judge reassured them thus:

… Kozinski told them it would be about five hours and “I will be there watching with you. This is part of the job we’re doing.”

Uh-huh, it’s just the kind of sacrifice Judge Happy-Pants is willing to make in the name of truth, justice, and the American way.
