The Family Research Council explains why:
"No one who has devoted a career advocating for the 'right' 
of individuals including pedophiles to purchase and possess child pornography can be trusted with the responsibility of protecting children and families or prosecuting criminals generally. Yet President Obama has made that choice in nominating David Ogden.
"Incredibly, Ogden has argued in court that requiring producers of pornographic materials to personally verify that models were over age 18 at the time the photographs were made would 'burden too heavily and infringe too deeply on the right to produce First Amendment protected material.'

"Clearly, David Ogden represents a profound threat to
American families. So, for the first time ever, FRC Action
will score a vote against a nomination. We will include the
vote on David Ogden's nomination in our annual Vote
Scorecard which tracks votes in Congress critical to the
family. We will make every effort to inform the American
people how each of their two Senators voted on this far left
nomination.
"The American people deserve a Justice Department that will
aggressively prosecute those who violate our laws, not
someone who has sought to defend and justify some of the
most despicable people in our country. I urge all senators
to vote no on David Ogden as Deputy Attorney General of the
United States."
