Anyone who has ever wondered why some people are agaist cameras in the courtroom should be on the look-out for a replay of the California Recall case on C-Span tonight or this week. I caught it live this afternoon, and the incessant mugging of Judge Alex Kozinski (A Reagan appointee) during the latter portion of the testimony. I missed the first part, so I am sure there were others hamming it up, but I just wanted to smack Kozinski before the hearing was over.

Uh, it wasn’t testimony. It was argument. And whether he “mugged” or not, I can’t say. But I can say that he’s one of the most intelligent justices on the Ninth Circuit.

I don’t know if he is intelligent or not, but he was behaving like an ass.

All of the players — lawyers and judges were all too aware of the cameras and played it up big time.

Kozinski’s always like that – it has nothing to do with the cameras.
Robin Roberts
Pejman’s take, he’s a Koszinski fan too.

Robin- I didn’t say I disagreed with him or he should be thrown off the court- I said it appeared as if he was mugging for the cameras- he made eye contact with them numerous times, and I found that unseemly. I understand he is a good, honest men- but I didn’t like the way he appeared- undiginified.
Robin Roberts
I understand John.
