The man presiding over the Prop. 8 trial is District Court Judge Vaughn Walker. Walker is a Republican first nominated by Ronald Reagan - but he's hardly a reliable conservative. He's attracted some extra attention for his decision to allow video coverage of the proceedings, a ruling that prompted a scolding and a reversal from the U.S. Supreme Court.
