In 2017 KQED asked the Northern District of California to unseal the trial tapes, arguing that the recordings were a vital part of the public record in a historic legal case. While the court did not agree to immediately release the tapes, it ordered them to be unsealed on Aug. 12, 2020 — 10 years after the case closed. In declining to hear an appeal of lower court rulings, the Supreme Court effectively cleared the way for the tapes to be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the public will finally be able to watch the testimony that Judge Vaughn Walker considered in deciding that same-sex couples have the right to marry,\" said Thomas R.

Love wins again and now, so does transparency,\" said Jeff Zarillo, one of the original plaintiffs in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holly Kernan, KQED's chief content officer, agreed. \"If our systems work behind closed doors, with no press or public access, we have no idea how decisions are made, nor what arguments are leading to these decisions,\" she said. \"KQED wants more sunlight on our legal system and we will fight on behalf of the public to get that access.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11919970,news_11922040\" label=\"Related Posts\"]Supporters of Proposition 8 – a California ballot proposition passed by voters in 2008 that would have banned same-sex marriage in the state – previously appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to have the tapes sealed permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That court dismissed that request, saying the petitioners lacked legal standing for their appeal. The court also batted away the contention that unsealing the tapes would lead to harm or harassment of anyone directly involved in the trial and confirmed the lower court’s decision to unseal the tapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a last-ditch effort to keep the tapes sealed, Proposition 8 proponents asked the Supreme Court to take up the case. In their \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-1304/219553/20220328101818830_Hollingsworth%20v.%20Perry%20Petition.pdf\">March 28, 2022 petition\u003c/a>, attorneys for Proposition 8 said the court's intervention was needed to \"prevent a grievous injury\" to the ballot measure's backers and to \"the integrity of the federal judiciary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This entire issue began over 12 years ago, when Judge Vaughn R. Walker, the federal court judge who presided over the 2010 Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial, announced that he wanted the entire proceeding to be broadcast live via closed-circuit television with viewing in federal courthouses in San Francisco, Pasadena, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would have made Perry v. Schwarzenegger the first federal trial to be broadcast and recorded, with videotapes to be made available for later viewing on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Proposition 8 defense team objected as the bench trial was starting and the Supreme Court intervened, stopping the live broadcast before it began. The court said Walker failed to go through the appropriate process for getting approval for such a broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over objections from Proposition 8 attorneys, Walker said he would videotape the trial anyway for personal use in his chambers to help him write the decision, which ultimately struck down Proposition 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to the Supreme Court's refusal to take up the case and allow the lower court rulings to stand, Walker, who is now retired from the bench, said the justices did the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With everything else going on in the world, not weighing in on this issue was an easy decision,\" said Walker. He added that the format of the Prop. 8 trial, with its expert witnesses providing testimony about the history, economics, sociology and psychology of gender roles and same-sex marriage could be a blueprint for judges in other controversial issues, including abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was testimony by people who understood the whole panoply which gender plays in our society and in personal relationships,\" Walker said. \"Trials reveal things that simply cannot come out when you're scratching through old dusty books and records of the long past. And I think there are going to be many enactments affecting the abortion rights in the various states in the wake of the Dobbs decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In seeking to block release of the videotapes, attorneys for the ballot measure's proponents argued to the Supreme Court that Walker \"solemnly promised\" in court that the tapes would not be made public, and that doing so now would undermine public faith in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-1304/226576/20220531111532780_Hollingsworth%20v.%20Perry%20--%20Brief%20in%20Opp.pdf\">response brief (PDF)\u003c/a>, attorneys for KQED argued that there was never a promise to keep the trial tapes sealed beyond 10 years and that Proposition 8 supporters failed to demonstrate any concrete injury that would come from releasing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kris Perry, one of the original plaintiffs along with her partner Sandy Stier, said release of the tapes was long overdue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the 2010 ruling striking down Proposition 8, we have fought to have the video record of our historic trial shared with the public,\" Perry said. \"There is no more important time to expose the discriminatory rhetoric of proponents and the courage of the experts, attorneys and plaintiffs in standing up against hate. Even though it's been 12 years since our ruling, we know the fight for marriage equality and many other basic civil rights is still essential and this video shows the evidence for why.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2009 lawsuit filed by supporters of same-sex marriage against Proposition 8 was considered risky by some progressive legal groups, which worried that a setback in federal court could take decades to undo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial gained national attention, in part because the legal team seeking to have Proposition 8 struck down was led by conservative Theodore Olson and liberal David Boies, who were on \u003cem>opposite\u003c/em> sides of the infamous Bush v. Gore case following the disputed 2000 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three-week trial in 2010 considered a wide range of issues, including the history of marriage, the political power of the LGBTQ+ community, the social and psychological harm of so-called \"conversion therapy\" and how the plaintiffs and their children were personally affected by being denied the right to marry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=1984506746130471324&q=Perry+vs.+Schwarzenegger&hl=en&as_sdt=2006\">Judge Walker's decision in August 2010\u003c/a> struck down \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proposition\u003c/span> 8 on the basis that it violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment, saying California had no rational interest in denying marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples.

While the court did not agree to immediately release the tapes, it ordered them to be unsealed on Aug. 12, 2020 — 10 years after the case closed. In declining to hear an appeal of lower court rulings, the Supreme Court effectively cleared the way for the tapes to be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the public will finally be able to watch the testimony that Judge Vaughn Walker considered in deciding that same-sex couples have the right to marry,\" said Thomas R.

Love wins again and now, so does transparency,\" said Jeff Zarillo, one of the original plaintiffs in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holly Kernan, KQED's chief content officer, agreed. \"If our systems work behind closed doors, with no press or public access, we have no idea how decisions are made, nor what arguments are leading to these decisions,\" she said. \"KQED wants more sunlight on our legal system and we will fight on behalf of the public to get that access.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11919970,news_11922040","label":"Related Posts "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition 8 – a California ballot proposition passed by voters in 2008 that would have banned same-sex marriage in the state – previously appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to have the tapes sealed permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That court dismissed that request, saying the petitioners lacked legal standing for their appeal. The court also batted away the contention that unsealing the tapes would lead to harm or harassment of anyone directly involved in the trial and confirmed the lower court’s decision to unseal the tapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a last-ditch effort to keep the tapes sealed, Proposition 8 proponents asked the Supreme Court to take up the case.

Plaintiff’s attorney Theodore Olson will argue the case for releasing the digital videos. Attorney Charles Cooper will speak on behalf of overturning the lower court’s decision and keeping the tapes sealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. An appeal of a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/files/2011/12/Motion-to-vacate.pdf\">decision rejecting efforts to have Judge Walker’s decision vacated\u003c/a> because he had a conflict of interest as a gay man in a long term relationship. Mr. Cooper will argue for Prop. 8 proponents, while David Boies will present the oral arguments on behalf of the lower court decision striking down the motion to vacate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both decisions were made in the past year by federal Judge James Ware, Chief Judge of the Northern District of California. Regarding the tapes, Judge Ware wrote that unsealing and releasing them to the public was in the public interest and necessary to maintain transparency in a case of such fundamental importance. His decision is supported by a coalition of media organizations, that includes Fox News, the NY Times and KQED among others. An attorney representing that coalition will participate in Thursday’s oral arguments. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In strongly \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/files/2011/12/Doc-797-Order-Denying-Motion-to-Vacate.pdf\">rejecting the motion to vacate\u003c/a>, Judge Ware said that were Judge Walker required to recuse himself under federal statutes, all minority judges would have to recuse themselves from any case involving civil rights, something he said Congress could not have intended in writing the recusal statute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither of these issues go to the cental legal merits of the constitutionality of Prop. 8. That is especially true in the video tapes question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the oral arguments regarding Judge Walker’s obligation to recuse himself because of his status as a gay man in a same sex relationship may reveal more about where the panel is heading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How forcefully will the panel of judges suggest that gay and lesbian rights are of interest to all American judges who care about a society with equality under the law, not just LGBT judges?

On the contrary: it is reasonable to presume that a female judge or a judge in a same-sex relationship is capable of rising above any personal predisposition and deciding such a case on the merits. The Motion fails to cite any evidence that Judge Walker would be incapable of being impartial, but to presume that Judge Walker was incapable of being impartial, without concrete evidence to support that presumption, is inconsistent with what is required under a reasonableness standard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These cases lead the Court to adopt the following legal conclusion: In a case that could affect the general public based on the circumstances or characteristics of various members of that public, the fact that a federal judge happens to share the same circumstances or characteristic and will only be affected in a similar manner because the judge is a member of the public, is not a basis for disqualifying the judge under Section 455(b)(4).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fact that this is a case challenging a law on equal protection and due process grounds being prosecuted by members of a minority group does not mean that members of the minority group have a greater interest in equal protection and due process than the rest of society. In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgrounds coexist because we have constitutionally bound ourselves to protect the fundamental rights of one another from being violated by unlawful treatment. Thus, we all have an equal stake in a case that challenges the constitutionality of a restriction on a fundamental right.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Defendant-Intervenors contend that consideration of the fact that Judge Walker “has\u003cbr>\nbeen involved in a 10-year (8-year at the time that Plaintiffs commenced this suit) committed same-sex relationship” would lead a reasonable person to question Judge Walker’s impartiality. The Court finds that disqualification under Section 455(a) on the basis of this fact fails, because it depends upon the assumption that a judge who is in a relationship has an interest in getting married which is so powerful that it would render that judge incapable of performing his duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Ninth Circuit law, however, this assumption is unreasonable. A well-informed, thoughtful observer would recognize that the mere fact that a judge is in a relationship with another person–whether of the same or the opposite sex–does not ipso facto imply that the judge must be so interested in marrying that person that he would be unable to exhibit the impartiality which, it is presumed, all federal judges maintain...To assume otherwise is to engage in speculation about a judge’s motives and desires on the basis of an unsubstantiated suspicion that the judge is personally biased or prejudiced.

The motion, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/06/13/live-scott-shafer-tweets-from-the-prop-8-hearing-on-former-judge-vaughn-walkers-same-sex-relationship/\">argued just yesterday\u003c/a>, has been denied. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/cand/09cv2292/files/797.pdf\">\u003cstrong>Read a .pdf of the ruling here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is just some of the reasoning that Judge James Ware used in refusing to throw out Judge Walker's ruling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The presumption that Judge Walker, by virtue of being in a same-sex relationship, had a desire to be married that rendered him incapable of making an impartial decision, is as warrantless as the presumption that a female judge is incapable of being impartial in a case in which women seek legal relief. On the contrary: it is reasonable to presume that a female judge or a judge in a same-sex relationship is capable of rising above any personal predisposition and deciding such a case on the merits. The Motion fails to cite any evidence that Judge Walker would be incapable of being impartial, but to presume that Judge Walker was incapable of being impartial, without concrete evidence to support that presumption, is inconsistent with what is required under a reasonableness standard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These cases lead the Court to adopt the following legal conclusion: In a case that could affect the general public based on the circumstances or characteristics of various members of that public, the fact that a federal judge happens to share the same circumstances or characteristic and will only be affected in a similar manner because the judge is a member of the public, is not a basis for disqualifying the judge under Section 455(b)(4).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fact that this is a case challenging a law on equal protection and due process grounds being prosecuted by members of a minority group does not mean that members of the minority group have a greater interest in equal protection and due process than the rest of society. In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgrounds coexist because we have constitutionally bound ourselves to protect the fundamental rights of one another from being violated by unlawful treatment. Thus, we all have an equal stake in a case that challenges the constitutionality of a restriction on a fundamental right.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Defendant-Intervenors contend that consideration of the fact that Judge Walker “has\u003cbr>\nbeen involved in a 10-year (8-year at the time that Plaintiffs commenced this suit) committed same-sex relationship” would lead a reasonable person to question Judge Walker’s impartiality. The Court finds that disqualification under Section 455(a) on the basis of this fact fails, because it depends upon the assumption that a judge who is in a relationship has an interest in getting married which is so powerful that it would render that judge incapable of performing his duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Ninth Circuit law, however, this assumption is unreasonable. A well-informed, thoughtful observer would recognize that the mere fact that a judge is in a relationship with another person–whether of the same or the opposite sex–does not ipso facto imply that the judge must be so interested in marrying that person that he would be unable to exhibit the impartiality which, it is presumed, all federal judges maintain...To assume otherwise is to engage in speculation about a judge’s motives and desires on the basis of an unsubstantiated suspicion that the judge is personally biased or prejudiced. Mere speculation of that nature does not trigger the recusal requirements of Section 455(a). \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4 p.m.\u003c/em> Scott Shafer interviewed UC Davis law professor Vik Amar about the ruling today, and Amar made the following point: Judge Ware's decision alludes to the lack of certainty that Judge Walker, who is in a long-term, same-sex relationship, had a desire to get married. One of Ware's reasons for denying the motion to vacate is that because Walker didn't \u003cem>necessarily\u003c/em> have that desire, he didn't have to recuse himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if, Amar says, Walker had publicly expressed an interest in getting married?
