Judicial Bias and Prop 8

Judge Walker impartial? I don't think anyone, even the opposition could claim that when it comes to his stance on so-called "same-sex marriage". It's a good thing this country has an appeals process. As he had no basis for his decision to deem Proposition 8 unconstitutional other than personal opinion and emotion, I'm certain his ruling will be overturned.

Ed Whelan makes the same argument more thoroughly:

"What can possibly account for the remarkable series of errors discussed in this brief? Simple incompetence is not a plausible explanation. For starters, the district judge is very experienced and generally well regarded. Further, the thoroughly one-sided nature of the errors is inconsistent with the random pattern that incompetence would generate.

"We respectfully submit that the inescapable explanation for the district judge's performance in this case is that he harbors a deep-seated animus against traditional marriage and that he has been unwilling or unable to contain his animus. That understanding ought to inform this Court's entire review of the district judge's ruling."
