Cruz: “Here I was as a 26-year-old man looking at explicit porn with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor"

[kpete]

Cruz watched pornography alongside Supreme Court justices:

During Cruz's clerkship, the court took on a case challenging a law that regulated online pornography. The justices and their clerks had to do some interesting research before the oral arguments:

Most of the justices were in their sixties or older. Few knew much of anything about the Internet. So the librarians of the Court designed a tutorial for them. They set up sessions for two justices at a time and their clerks. As it happened, our Rehnquist group was paired with Justice O’Connor. In a small room gathered the Chief, Justice O’Connor, and their respective law clerks. The librarians’ purpose was to demonstrate to the justices how easy it was to find porn on the Internet. I remember standing behind the computer, watching the librarian go to a search engine, turn off the filters, and type in the word cantaloupe, though misspelling it slightly. After she pressed “return,” a slew of hard-core, explicit images showed up on screen. Here I was as a twenty-six-year-old man looking at explicit porn with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who was standing alongside the colleague she had once dated in law school. As we watched these graphic pictures fill our screens, wide-eyed, no one said a word. Except for Justice O’Connor, who lowered her head, squinted slightly, and muttered, “Oh, my."

4. I wonder if she said Oh My when it looked like the Gore recount was going against Shrub and then

voted to install him. That was truly obscene.

5. For what reason under the sun would that fucknit tell that kind of a story?

What relevance is there to that event? That guy is dangerously under-developed socially. He is a fucking idiot.

6. This reads like a right-wing version of "Letters to Penthouse."

"You're not going to believe this, but this one time with Justice O'Connor…"

7. Bahahahaha

Thought the experience was worth recounting did he?

So I just did it-my own slightly mispelled version--I didn't know people having sexual relations with melons was a "thing"
