The Christian right is launching a personal attack on U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to overturn California's ban on gay marriage. The religious right is arguing that Judge Walker's alleged sexual orientation is reason enough for Judge Walker to recuse himself from the controversial case.

Tony Perkins, head of the influential Family Research Council, and one of the most powerful social conservatives in the nation, told CBS's "Face the Nation," that U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's decision was compromised by the fact that he is "openly homosexual." (It's rumored, but not an open fact, that Walker is gay).

    • I personally love how a judge who clerked under Nixon, was recomended by Regan (his recomendation was stalled in congress), then appointed by Bush Sr., and served under Bush Jr. is now the conservatives "worst nightmare". I mean, this is the dude who lead the charge against the Gay Olympics, and now that he's judged in a way they don't like he's an "activist homosexual judge" with a vendetta against the church.
