Obama nominates pornography advocate as high Dept. of Justice official

Wrote amicus briefs supporting obscenity, child porn

February 8, 2009

This is the kind of thing the mainstream media kept bottled up about Obama. Now we'll be experiencing it.

Barack Obama has nominated David Ogden, a major pornography advocate to be the No. 2 officer in the US Justice Department (DOJ), who will oversee cases involving pornography for years to come.

Over the past 20 years, Ogden, a lawyer, has fought for the pornography industry and has also been an activist, submitting numerous amicus (friend-of-the court) briefs in support of obscenity and child pornography in prominent cases, and some of it is pretty frightening.

According to Pat Trueman, former chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section at DOJ, "We've seen both on adult pornography, and on child pornography, [Ogden] is not with us. . . Certainly, he reflects President Obama on Obama's positions on pornography, homosexuality and abortion."

Ed Whelan, president of Ethics in Public Policy, recalled one brief Ogden wrote "which would have wrapped constitutional protection around child sex exploitation." Whelan added that, "Ogden isn't just a lawyer who's had a few unsavory clients. He's devoted a substantial part of his career in defense of pornography for more than 20 years."
