A new twist in the Prop 8 trial

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Judge Walker may be gay.

But before the religious right gets all up in arms, let's remember that Judge Walker is a libertarian conservative - many of his questions were smart and specific, and being a libertarian conservative he even asked why the government should be in the "marriage" business at all.

Above the Law tries to tease out any potential bias, but ultimately concludes that jurisprudentially Walker is above reproach, though after the ruling if it's confirmed that he's gay it'll be a public perception issue. To which I say certainly.
