The announcement that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other terrorists would be tried in a civilian courtroom in New York City was made on Friday by Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder said he is confident that the court will provide a fair trial for the 9/11 conspirators and that justice will be served. 
 
 
While critics of the Obama Administration's Justice Department have focused most of their attention on Holder, many have failed to acquaint Americans with the legal background of Holder's Deputy Attorney General, David Ogden. The man specialized as a mouthpiece for the members of the pornography industry.
 
A Washington, DC legal fixture, Ogden was a high-ranking official in the United States Department of Justice and the Department of Defense during the administration of President Bill Clinton. From 1998 until 1999, Ogden served as chief of staff to the United States Attorney General. Following his graduation from Harvard Law School, he clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, one of the most liberal judges ever to sit on the bench of this nation's highest court. 
 
In March 2009, David Ogden was nominated by President Barack Obama to the post of Deputy Attorney General and he was easily confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 65-28.
 
President Obama has made a major mistake and put America's families at risk by selecting David Ogden to become Deputy Attorney General, said the pro-family organization group Fidelis.

"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," said Brian Burch, President of Fidelis.

"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.
 

As a lawyer in private practice, Ogden has argued for an unlimited abortion license, gays in the military, and has urged the courts to treat traditional definitions of marriage as a social prejudice.
 

"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."

A review of his writings and briefs shows that Ogden believes that judges should rely more on social science when making decisions. And that they should rely less on "original intent" of the framers of the US Constitution and more on international law. He also believe judges -- including US Supreme Court justices --should be compassionate and not impartial arbiters. 

"To say that Ogden is a liberal-left activist is an understatement. His record speaks volumes about President Obama's leftist leanings," said political strategist Mike Baker.
