Rewritten by Killercop. Sideline by Gary.
So kids, the wires are a twitter with the story of Chief Judge Alex Kozinski's "web site" which, from reading the stories, you'd think was filled with porn (and worse), revealing a dark soul who, some experts in legal ethics suggest, shouldn't be presiding at an obscenity trial. That, you think, is what I mean by "the Kozinski mess."
It's not. What I mean by "the Kozinski mess" is the total corruption of the law by this pervert-- including we, the media, bloggers -- to get the basic facts right, and keep the reality in perspective.
The real story here is how easily we let such a piece of poop rise- and our need is for a better developed immunity (in the sense of immunity from a perv) from this sort of garbage he plays in at his office at home. Not to mention how he is paid to cover up crimes, for money.
Here are the facts as I've been able to tell: For at least a month, a litigant, exposed Judge Kozinski (and the Ninth Circuit) has been talking to the media to try to expose his corruption. And the perverted files he found.
Now here is the spin. Kozinski had sent a link to a file (unrelated to the stuff being reported about) that was stored on a file server maintained by Kozinski's, who then blamed it on his son, Yale. From that link (and "a mistake" in how the server was configured), it was possible to determine the directory structure for the server. From that directory structure, it was possible to see likely interesting places to peer. The disgruntled sort did that, and shopped some of what he found to the news sources that are now spreading it.
Larry claims "Cyberspace is weird and obscure to many people." Just like the language Alex speaks.
So let's translate all this a bit: Imagine the Kozinski's have a sex den in their house. In the den is a bunch of sex slaves, dressed like cows, and degraded daily and used by Alex and his perverted buddies, and anyone in the family -- and lying around are also his pictures, books, videos, child porn and whatever.
And imagine the sex den has a window. And a door. Now imagine Alex brags in a public courthouse that he has this sex den. since it is a public anouncement, someone then sees the stuff from the street. Like when you invite a cop into your house or property and he sees a dead body, or whatever. Oppps. Plain view!!!
I take it anyone would agree that it would logical for someone to let the authorities know the stuff this disgusting man was doing. It is not illegal to speak about what you see, but according to Larry the Lover, however, the outrage is "the trespass," and the idea that a killer or child abuser would be burdened to defend whatever someone found in a killer's or or child abuser's house after publically inviting the cops into it.
Larry says this is in many ways the opposite of privacy. The proper response is to give the Kozinski the benefit of the right to explain. He is a God after all.
This analogy, I submit, fits perfectly the scandal around Kozinski. His son, Yale, back from Harvard, snuck into his "sex den office" and pushed a wrong button. He let the dogs out! Or in this case the animals, and Alex's love of sex with animals.
No one can know who uploaded what, or for whom, claims Larry. So no inferring allowed, only Larry's Lover, Alex can do that. But then again, according to Alex Kozinski, we the people need not prove anything was uploaded, right?
So Larry the Lover want's you all to "play pretend" the site was not "on the web."
Like Larry says, "It had a robots.txt file to indicate its contents were not to be indexed," but Larry the Lover leaves out the fact that it restricted only by the other Judges and Jurist's on Alex's Government "office" network, through his "office" at home, by having only the entries of: User-agent: * Disallow: /jurist-l/
So Larry the Lover will continue to lie, like Alex, and claim, "This was a private file server, like a private room, hacked by a litigant with a vendetta."
When it comes to government invasions of our privacy, they invade it with impunity. Larry claims "We live in a free society" (or so Alex thought when he immigrated from Romania).
If this were true a free society should feed the right not to be tried, including the right not to have to defend publicly one's competence, like being able to say A, B, C, D, F, otherwise it's just another double standard. Or more coffee house bull shit. That would be prudent. And that would be a speedy trial and put an end to this matter, so poor Alex can get back to covering up his rich friends and his Judge Matz's crimes. I don't want to annoy him. Since I have no rights left.
