Latest action · Dec 20, 2010 Referred to the Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy.
Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker failed to conduct himself in an impartial manner before striking down California's popularly enacted Proposition 8 and thereby redefined traditional marriage to include same-sex relationships; and (2) Judge Walker's decision to strike down Proposition 8 is wrong.
