Sonia Sotomayor Read Gay Porn!

Let me explain. In 1996, a NAMBLA type who'd had sex with a minor was charged with violating parole because he possessed "porn" like My Comrade, Linda Simpson's downtown humor magazine, and Scum, which I swear I'm not familiar with. Well, Sotomayor was the New York circuit judge assigned to the case! And to make her decision, she had to peruse through the articles and pictures in the dirty magazines!

She ended up ruling that, while "erect penises are visible in the photographs," My Comrade was far less prurient than Scum, which she considered tawdry enough to make the NAMBLA guy...GUILTY! And I bet Sotomayor has never been the same since.
