|attentionWhat tha fuck!!!|bananna||boobies||bow|

The family groups are already crying foul!|tomato||lol|

Ogden's record is nothing short of obscene. He has represented Playboy Enterprises in multiple cases, Penthouse Magazine, the ACLU, and the largest distributor of hard-core pornography videos.

Its still so unbelievable that Barack Obama is our President. :)

[Fonz]

I wonder what Jebus would say about all this...

[i]Ogden's record is nothing short of obscene...They'd be much happier if a typical attorney who has defended child molesters, rapists, and murderers would have been selected.

"A vast majority of Americans support... protecting kids from Internet pornography in our libraries."

For fuck's sake BUY A ROUTER! Yeah, that's all their blanket gestapo censorship laws were aimed at... library porn. Riiiight. |thumb

Ogden Coasts Through Confirmation Hearing (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/02/05/ogden_coasts_through_confirmat.html)

David W. Ogden, the nominee to serve as the Justice Department's second in command, this morning easily brushed aside questions from GOP lawmakers about his positions on abortion, sexually explicit images and other social issues.

Ogden, a former Justice official during the Clinton era, appears likely to win confirmation by the full Senate as early as this week.

[A.J. Angel]

If he does indeed becomes the Justice Department's second in command, maybe it is a sign that the wind will be blowing our way for the upcoming future which would be a very good thing. :)

[StrokeKing]

This is a positive move for the long term stability of the industry.

They'd be much happier if a typical attorney who has defended child molesters, rapists, and murderers would have been selected.

Lol exactly.

That about sums it up perfectly.

Senate Confirms Justice Department Nominees (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/12/senate-confirms-justice-department-nominees/)

The Senate confirmed David Ogden as deputy attorney general this afternoon, by a vote of 65-28, (http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00097) after an often testy debate between Republican and Democratic senators that dipped in and out of discussions of pornography.

[...]

In all, one Democrat, Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, voted against confirmation; 11 Republicans supported it. They are Senators Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Christopher Bond of Missouri, Susan Collins of Maine, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Jon Kyl of Arizona, John McCain of Arizona, Richard Lugar of Indiana, Olympia Snowe of Maine, Mr. Specter of Pennsylvania and George Voinovich of Ohio. (Six senators did not vote.)

Now, that's one good news for us. Hopefully, that'll ease off the 2257 regulations and make it more flexible for legit webmasters! |bananna|

I think is a good move in the long term :)

|attention Even more good news tucked away at the end of the article about the Ninth Circuit court circus.|pissleft||monkey|pissright

In fact, no such disbanding occurred, but the Task Force has been keeping a low profile since late last year, and is not even mentioned in the Justice Department's announcement of the guilty plea obtained in the Extreme Associates case earlier this month. But the future of the Task Force certainly is in question, since the DOJ, judging by its most recent press releases, now seems to be concentrating more on cases involving child pornography.

"Look, from everything I'm reading, Ogden seems to be a real civil liberties guy," Isaacs told AVN. "I think Ogden is going to look at all of this when he gets settled in there and is going to ask, 'Do we want to get involved in cases where it's just for adults?'"
