Judge Vaughn R. Walker, the federal judge who presided over the California Proposition 8 trial, is under fire from Christian conservatives for showing a three-minute videotape of the trial on the lecture circuit.
The sponsors of the 2008 ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage have asked a federal appeals court to order retired Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who ruled against Proposition 8, to return the videotape so it can be put under lock and key.
