Ok, so Kozinski, committed communist to heavy capitalist supports capital punishment, and believes the brutality of it should not be disguised .. so he is in favor of subjecting citizens of the USA, and of the world, to even more brutality than we are subjected to today .. why? .. maybe it's simply the toughen-'em-more track, so then the idiot softies will accept our/their/hes Nugent-like tough conservative positions more easily that so many of them ride .. and he doesn't seem to care about the possibility of executing innocent people .. from wiki ..
Thompson v. Calderon
Thomas Martin Thompson had been convicted based largely on the testimony of his fellow inmates, and doubts about the effectiveness of his defense counsel led seven former California prosecutors to file briefs on Thompson's behalf. The Ninth Circuit originally denied Thompson's habeas petition attacking the state court decision. Two days before Thompson's scheduled execution, the Ninth Circuit en banc reversed (7-4) the earlier denial.
Kozinski dissented:
--- If the en banc call is missed for whatever reason, the error can be corrected in a future case where the problem again manifests itself. ... That this is a capital case does not change the calculus. The stakes are higher in a death case, to be sure, but the stakes for a particular litigant play no legitimate role in the en banc process. ---
If the Ninth Circuit were a circus—and some say it is—Alex Kozinski would be its ringmaster. Presenting the most controversial judge on our most controversial court.
In 2008, The Los Angeles Times revealed Kozinski "maintained a publicly accessible website featuring sexually explicit photos and videos."[6] In response, Kozinski called for an ethics investigation of himself.[7] In July 2009, Kozinski was admonished by a panel headed by Judge Anthony Scirica.[8][9]
