The case was rife with the judge playing favorites.
His verdict was 98% his personal opinion and 2% legal.
He then claimed that the pro-8 side had no grounds to appeal his opinion.
IOW the pro-proposition 8 crowd did not have a right to overturn his PERSONAL opinion and the law be hanged.
justice denied by a judge seeking to engrave his bias into law via denial of access to the law making tools.
