From Ed Whelan: “Applying Ockham’s razor, I will readily presume that Walker’s wild course of misconduct in the anti-Prop 8 case was driven entirely by his ideological fervor for same-sex marriage and that Walker wasn’t also trying to feather his own post-judicial nest. That said, if he were trying to feather his nest, his high-profile invention of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, including his remarkable (and overturned) denial of a stay of his judgment pending appeal, would be one way to build a lot of goodwill among many prospective San Francisco employers. . .
“The entire anti-Prop 8 farce would be complete if Walker were to join either Ted Olson’s or David Boies’ firm. But negotiations could be complicated if Walker were to make a well-deserved request for back pay.”

The next congress will finish the work on a federal constitutional amendment to properly define marriage as it should be, between a man and and a woman. Perhaps 2/3's of the states will vote on this before Prop 8 ever reaches the supreme court rendering their decision moot.
Furthermore, thousands of homosexuals have been cured. Homosexuality is not an immutable characteristic and is a changeable disorder, as noted in the Sept 29, 2010 appellate Prop 8 brief, by the scientific foundation National Association For Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).
