Judge Walker’s Opinion

Short version:  Everything that plaintiffs’ “experts” say is beyond dispute.  E.g.:  “[T]he evidence shows beyond any doubt that parents’ genders are irrelevant to children’s developmental outcomes.”  “The evidence shows conclusively that moral and religious views form the only basis for a belief that same-sex couples are different from opposite-sex couples.”  (I would have thought that it’s equally clear that “moral and religious views form the only basis for a belief” that the laws against murder should protect all persons.)

Judge Walker makes little or no reference to the fact that nearly all of plaintiffs’ “experts” are political activists for gay causes and that many or most are in same-sex relationships.  They’re just neutral experts.  In the same way that Walker is just a neutral judge.
