"........but said his sexuality was irrelevant in deciding the landmark case"

HE must be EPICALLY STUPID to think that WE are actually stupid enough to believe that BS. More liberal activist judges legislatiing from the bench. He should have immediately recused himself from ruling on this, because he could not possibly be impartial.

This guy should have recused himself. Especially since he decided in the manner that he did.

The federal judge who struck down California's gay marriage ban has confirmed longtime rumors that he's gay, but said his sexuality was irrelevant in deciding the landmark case.R-I-G-H-T ... and there really is an Easter Bunny and a Tooth Fairy.

If he had ruled AGAINST gay marriage, then his sexuality would not have been an issue.

But that didn’t happen.

"Walker said he never considered recusing himself from deciding the constitutionality of Proposition 8 because of his sexual orientation"

If he never even considered it, he was a pathetically horrible judge.

Two words: forum shopping.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this particular case came before this particular judge.

Vaughn like Justice Souter were liberal sleeper cells both named by G.H.W Bush. Call him and his family RINOs or just country club Republicans they left a trail of wreckage to establish their bona fides before the NYT. No wonder they dumped on Sarah from their high and mighty perch. And , yeah, voted for all of them, but I’m glad their dynasty is history and the GOP is getting an infusion of new blood.

Proposition 8 was an amendment to the California Constitution, was it not? So basically the judge ruled that the Constitution can’t be amended?

A violation of judicial ethics. Being gay doesn’t exempt you from the ethics code.

Sitting judges, even Round Mouthed judges like this one, are supposed to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

This has far more than the mere appearance of impropriety. Judge Round Mouth voted his gonadal urges. Period. Full stop.

Sodomy/buggery > Ethics/fidelity to legal principle.

That a gay judge could overrule a vote of the citizens on gay marriage should be something that would have us up in arms, literally.

But it’s just another day in the decline of a civilization.

Almost as surprised as when I found out that the Pope was Catholic.
