A judge on the federal appellate court in San Francisco refused to disqualify himself from hearing the appeal of a ruling that overturned Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
U.S. Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt rejected the request in an order filed today in the case. Arguments before the three-judge panel are scheduled for Dec. 6, according to the docket.
