A (semi-closeted) gay liberal activist Judge in San Francisco has overturned the will of the people with a daring ruling today.

Judge Vaughn Walker decision will be appealed, undoubtedly to the Supreme court.

Walker presided over the sentencing of KGO radio talk show host Bernie Ward two years ago.

 I was in the courtroom when the liberal Walker wrung his hands and practically wept over how upset over federal sentencing guidelines giving Ward 7 years jail time for transmitting child pornoraphy. He wanted to let him off with a much much lighter sentence.

And now gay marriage.
