Disagreeing on judicial discipline

In his response to my Blowback, which discussed the possibility of Judge Alex Kozinski facing discipline by a committee of judges for maintaining a website containing pornographic material, John Wright accuses me of joining the "Crucify Kozinski Brigade," labeling Kozinski a "hypocrite" and not "paying attention" to what Wright deems the real facts. According to Wright, The Times wrongly described the video involving a man and a donkey. This, Wright says, and other "inherent flaws" in the case against Kozinski were exposed in a subsequent Times editorial.
