1. While I believe that have people have a right to indulge their interests in pornographic material I also believe that most of it is misogynistic and a person who pursues such interests is hardly virtuous. It is quite disconcerting to find such a person on the Court of Appeals. He really should resign if for no other reason than to maintain the illusion that people of character serve in those positions..
