Maryland Lawyer Blog
Marcy J.K. Tiffany, the wife of 9th Circuit chief judge Alex Kozinski, writes a defense of her husband in the Patterico Pontifications Blog. (Click here for background on the Judge Kozinski story.) Her defense comes from two angles: (1) attacking the accuser and, (2) a line I liked: “The fact is, Alex is not into porn – he is into funny – and sometimes funny has a sexual character.” She probably also believes that Tiger Woods is not playing golf to win, he just enjoys the game and a good walk with friends.
She seems like a nice, articulate woman put in an awful situation by Judge Kozinski. But try as she might, you can’t bundle up this package up and call it humor. I find a lot of things funny. But – and I know I keep going back to this – I find it inconceivable to find humor in a photo that appears to be a child giving oral sex to a Catholic priest.
The accuser that Ms. Tiffany attacks, Cyrus Sanai, defended himself in a Maryland Lawyer Blog comment this weekend. I have not looked into the allegations against him. Honestly, they ring true based on my limited understanding of the facts, but who knows. And who cares? Mr. Sanai is just some random lawyer. Alex Kozinski is the Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, arguably the 10th most important judge in the country. This is why we are talking about Alex Kozinski and not Cyrus Sanai.
