"Exciting and rewarding for those of us who have been Rand fans for many years." —Cow porn judge Alex Kozinski, in his IMDb review of Atlas Shrugged. Turns out Kozinski is a movie buff. [ATL]

Third-year Harvard Law student Stephanie Grace sent a mass email about whether black people are categorically less intelligent than white people. Now her campus, legal blogs, and the Black Law Students Association are up in arms, and Stephanie is hiding.

A third year Harvard law student made racist comments at a dinner, then tried to clarify in an email—but the email got forwarded to the Black Law Student Association, and her summer boss is cow porn Judge Kozinski!

Remember Alex Kozinski, the 9th Circuit Court Judge who's been forced to recuse himself from an obscenity trial because of BESTIALITY PORN POSTED ON HIS WEBSITE? What a wacky story, right? Hah! That maroon! Yes well it turns out it's actually a depressing tale of outright journalistic malfeasance that could impact an important first amendment case, but whatever. The Judge, Alex Kozinski, has already declared a mistrial, and all that's left is for his wife to pen angry letters to blogs. It's all the L.A. Times' fault!

The Los Angeles Times revealed that 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski was hosting some porny images of girls done up like cows and other niceties on what he thought was a private server. Smut pundit Susannah Breslin suggests that now Judge Kozinski himself may be the one testing the limits of the "2 Girls, 1 Cup defense" that defendant Ira Isaacs was going for. Namely, that what was once "obscene" is now merely "shocking" and fine for the whole family to make YouTube response videos about.

The twists just keep on coming in the now-suspended Obscenity Trial of the Century, in which defendant and celebrated poo-vid helmer Ira Isaacs has taken a back seat to the trial's own judge — Alex Kozinski, himself recently revealed (by a grudge-holding lawyer, natch, but we'll get to that) to be a connoisseur of impeccable barnyard porn and transsexual slidshows on his publicly available Web site. This obviously isn't sitting well with the judiciary or even with Kozinski himself, a Supreme Court short-lister who said Thursday he would cooperate with an investigation of his own alleged wrongdoing:

This shit literally never gets old: In addition to being one of the sicker defendants with a federal case currently pending against him, up until yesterday it appeared that scat-and-bestiality auteur Ira Isaacs was also among the luckiest. After all, his judge, Alex Kozinski — randomly selected in a rotation with other jurists in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — had a reputation for libertarian thinking and had established proven freedom-of-speech creds. So progressive was His Honor, in fact, that he even maintained a publicly available Web site featuring his own collection of sexually explicit images (which has since been shuttered).
