Obama Picks Porn Lawyer for #2 at Justice -
David Ogden's 'Obscene' Record
CHICAGO, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama has made a major mistake and put America's families at risk by selecting David Ogden to become Deputy Attorney General, says Fidelis, a pro-family organization.
"David Ogden is a hired gun from Playboy and the ACLU. He can't run from his long record of opposing common sense laws protecting families, women, and children. The U.S. Senate has a responsibility to the American people to insure that Mr. Ogden's full record is fully reviewed before any vote on his nomination," said Brian Burch, President of Fidelis. Ogden's confirmation hearing is scheduled for Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"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. He has opposed filters on library computers protecting children from Internet smut, and successfully defended the right of pornographers to produce material with underage children."
"David Ogden has collected checks from Playboy and Penthouse to fight any attempts to establish filters on federally-funded public libraries. Ogden even sued the federal government in an attempt to publish Braille versions of Playboy magazine -- at taxpayer expense, of course," said Burch....
"A vast majority of Americans support parental notification before a minor's abortion and protecting kids from Internet pornography in our libraries," continued Burch. "Yet David Ogden has fought tooth and nail against these common sense laws protecting our children from harm. At a time when America's families are under increasing assault, Mr. Ogden is a dangerous choice for a position whose responsibilities include the enforcement of our nation's laws."

My comment:
David Ogden fought a measure that would keep porn from being viewed at public libraries (please correct me if I'm wrong; see here). I know someone who works at a library (not me) who has mixed feelings about this law since they are against censorship. However, this person thinks that children who are in the public library should not have to see pornographic material on someone's computer screen. This is a common sense law that should have passed (as many public indecency laws have). Instead, David Ogden successfully fought this law and succeeded. Now, a librarian is not permitted by the Supreme Court to force a person viewing pornography from ceasing to view it (many of these people supposedly get off from viewing it in public).

I wonder if he has any kids. If he does, may their guardian angels protect them.
