CA judge prop 8 rule has Judge Vaughn Walker hijacked justice?

THIS was on YAHOO news and is report by Peter Henderson – 15 mins ago SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Proponents of Californias gay marriage ban on Monday said a judge who struck down the law was biased because he is in a same-sex relationship himself, and that his ruling should be thrown out. Former U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker last year ruled that Californias same-sex marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, was unconstitutional. The case is being appealed and is expected to be pursued to the U.S. Supreme Court, potentially setting national precedent. All but a handful of U.S. states explicitly ban same-sex marriage, and Californians in 2008 joined that club by approving Proposition 8, shocking gay rights advocates nationwide and prompting the current case.In a motion to vacate the judgment filed Monday, proponents of the ban said that Walkers 10-year relationship, which he publicly disclosed after stepping down from the bench earlier this year, should have led him to avoid the Proposition 8 case, since he may want to marry. "Surely, no one would suggest that Chief Judge Walker could issue an injunction directing a state official to issue a marriage license to him. Yet on this record, it must be presumed that that is precisely what has occurred," the motion reads."It is important to emphasize at the outset that we are not suggesting that a gay or lesbian judge could not sit on this case," it said.Walkers sexual orientation was quietly commented on during the court trial, but lawyers on neither side made it an issue in the courtroom. Walker in an April 6 discussion with reporters from Reuters and other news outlets said he had been in the decade-long relationship and that he had not considered recusing himself from the case. It would not be appropriate for any judges sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin or gender to stop them from presiding over a case, he said at the time, adding, "Thats a very slippery slope. Theodore Boutrous, a lead lawyer challenging the ban, said in an e-mail that the proponents motion is "absurd. In their view men couldnt hear cases about the rights of men, women couldnt hear cases about the rights of women. Their view is totally anti-gay."Walkers former colleague, U.S. District Chief Judge James Ware, a Republican appointee like Walker, now will take up the issue. The case is 09-CV-2292 in the Northern California U.S. District Court. (Editing by Philip Barbara) here is the Question has Judge Vaughn Walker hijack justice for his own personal reasons with no regard fo the will of the people Should he have recused his position to hear the case is there a biased ruling by this judge
Answer: It could be argued that Judge Walker was biased in this case. Before someone can claim that it impacted his judgement though, they need to read and understand his disclosure when he tried the case. He laid out his reasoning, using logical legal rules, for why he decided the case the way he did. He was succinct, intellgent and very reasoned when he gave his judgement. He knew that people would question his bias in this case, so he laid out his ruling intelligently. I read his ruling and he may have a bias, but it didn't show up there.
