A coalition of news media outlets, including POLITICO, urged the court to make the videos public because of the public interest in the case about Proposition 8, which was approved in 2008. Orrick said Walker’s commitment to keep the videos for his personal use did not translate into an enforceable promise that the recordings would be unavailable to the public forever.
It was reported during the trial that Walker was gay, which led to some calls for him to recuse himself from the case, but no formal motions were ever made. He retired from the bench the next year.
