A federal judge next week will consider whether Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself from the Proposition 8 same-sex marriage trial because he is gay with a long-time partner. We take up judicial ethics. Under what circumstances should judges step away from a case?

Guests:

John Eastman, law professor, former dean of Chapman University School of Law and founding director for the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence
