Judge Vaughn Walker to retire

[terrya]

Thank you, Judge Walker, for advancing marriage equality in this country.


U.S. District chief judge Vaughn R. Walker, who in a landmark August decision ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional, will retire from the bench in February, the court has announced.

In a late Wednesday press release, officials with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said that Judge Walker will step down as chief judge effective December 31 and will leave the court in February. Walker has notified President Barack Obama of his decision
