Prop 8, or the ban on Gay Marriage was recently passed in California, opening up a huge nationwide discussion of the legalization of same-sex marriage and constitutional rights. Judge Vaughn Walker is the California Supreme Court Justice who actually ruled that Prop 8 was unconstitutional. Can you believe that in a short period of time that California wanted to ban same-sex marriage AND keep pot prohibited? Has there been a mass exodus of liberals out of the Golden State?
Walker is going to teach a class at UC-Berkeley on decision making strategies in complex legislation. This would be a historic class to attend, considering that if his ruling ends up making gay marriage a wide spread right, he will go down in history.
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has put a stay on Vaughn Walker's ruling, pending an appeal.
What do you believe will happen with Prop 8, and do you think that Vaughn Walker would be a great mind to learn from?
