WHEN AN activist group doesn’t agree with you, one of the ways it’ll try to discredit your point of view is by claiming you have a conflict of interest. Thus, anti-gay-marriage advocates who disagreed with U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right tried to get the decision overturned because Walker is gay. We have to agree that Walker’s ruling was wrong. As we have pointed out before, the Founding Fathers surely did not consider gay marriage to be a fun- damental right. In the last 224 years, the Constitution has not been amended to enshrine gay marriage alongside freedom of speech, the right to due process, protection of private property and other principles that are part of this country’s founding documents. And nothing has happened since 1787, when the Constitution was ratified, that has indirectly transformed gay marriage into a inviolable right. Thus, if gay marriage is to become legal, it should be done through the legislative process, propelled by the will of the people, not by judi- cial fiat. (New York State got it right this week when its Assembly and Senate approved a bill legalizing gay marriage and the governor signed it, instead of a judge deciding the issue on his own.) Nevertheless, the fact that Walker is gay and could benefit from a ruling that gay marriage must be permitted should no more disqualify him from ruling on same-sex marriage than it would a heterosexual judge who could benefit if gay marriage were left to the discretion of the legislatures. If being a member of a broad class which would be affected by a judicial rul- ing were enough to disqualify a judge from ruling on that issue, then no judge could ever preside over a murder trial, for instance, because every judge wants to live in a community where murder is frowned upon. Neither could any judge preside over a civil trial over sexual harassment, breach of contract or fraud, because every judge wouldn’t like it if those things were done to him. Nor could Chatting at the beach any legislator vote on tax increases, because they all pay taxes. Which brings us to local politics: Two weeks ago, the Monterey County Herald (which constantly undermines every effort to make progress toward an unfair.
