Ogden represented smut peddlers,at least he paid his taxes
Senators might want to hold David Ogden’s confirmation hearing after the kids go to bed.
That’s because the man in line to become No. 2 at the nation’s top law enforcement agency was once a strident defender of Playboy and other purveyors of nudity.
And some critics are drawing attention to his risque legal work ahead of his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday. In one case,Ogden paved the way for the blind to enjoy Playboy at the Library of Congress.
“There’s essentially a question of propriety,”said Brian Burch,president of the religious conservative group,Fidelis —which released a critical report on Ogden’s past representation. Burch co-signed a letter this week to committee members raising flags about Ogden,up for deputy attorney general,and other nominees.
