Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker has ruled a legal challenge to California’s Proposition 8 can continue, meaning the battle over the state’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, will be settled at trial.
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the judge doesn’t seem to understand the legal issues involved with marriage.
“He’s sounding more and more like the activist judges around the country who have taken it upon themselves to redefine marriage,” he said.
The trial is set for January, and Hausknecht said it will have its ups and downs.
“Supporters of marriage have to realize we’re in this for the long haul,” he said. “The U.S. Supreme Court will ultimately get this case and decide one way or the other about marriage.”
