because of the dignity of the chinese government. there's nothing the government can do or give to the protesters. >> do you think, ultimately, the protests will be nothing more than a waste of time? >> i don't think it's a waste of time. in fact, hong kong people have showed a lot of courage, and they have - and their demonstration has been a really new thing for the people, because of the skill, and the matter. i think we still have possibilities, although the possibility is not that great. >> an investigation into how 43 students disappeared in mexico. now a mass grave may provide clues into what happened. plus, a gay teacher fired from a

welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm michael eaves. our top story, gay marriage - the supreme court deciding not to hear gay marriage case, but upholding the rulings of the lower courts. the court, with five or six other states where appeals are pending - the marriage legal in 30 states. gay rights advocates held the ruling, opponents called it irresponsible. jamie, we need you to go through the details. if my civic letters serve me correct lay, it takes five

justices for a ruling and four to hear a case. are you surprised the supreme court would hear the cases? >> i am surprised. i know some viewers are watching when i spoke about the cases. i can't lie and say i'm not surprised. i'm in good company. pretty much every analyst expected them to cake one of the cases. i'm surprised. we thought they would take the case, because these are important cases. number two, this is the chief justices 10th year as chief. we thought it would be a legacy moment for chief justice roberts, and number three, this is the unusual part - this was a case were not only the losers, gay marriage opponents were asking the court to take the case, but the winners, gay marriage proponents were asking the court to take the case. both were coming to the court

saying we want definitive answers on gay marriage. we want to know can they please take the case. it's unprecedented that everyone on both sides of the issue were asking. i thought they would take it. >> do we have anied in, because they don't have to give a reason for not accepting communications, any idea why? >> well, they don't have to give us a reason, but it's highly confidential. the first thing the court looks for when taking a case, and this is why we were a little arrogant. the thing they look for is a split, and the split below. all the courts that looked at the question came down the same way, that is in favour the gay marriage. there's no disagreement in the courts below, and it's quite possibly a simple answer - they

are waiting for there to be a disagreement. if you have kids and they are not fighting, you don't go in the room. you enjoy your glass of wine. you wait until the kids have a dispute, and that's when you get involved. the court may be saying "there's no dispute, there's no reason for us to get involved, there's nothing to resolve, there's no split." they may be waiting. there may be one coming. louisiana has a case. it is likely that that will uphold the ban and that may be where the supreme court decides they need to get involved. >> they won't hear cases on gay marriage, but let's talk about some the cases she hear. there a case about freedom of issues on facebook. what will be examined? >> it involves a man with an estranged wife. he was upset that she blanked

him. he made statements against her, and threatened her. they were extreme statements of violence. he moved on to threatening an investigator, then started to talk about kindergarten class that he may shoot up. very extreme. all of it, he insisted was an expression of art. he was an aspiring rap artist and linked himself to rap artists m and m. he was convicted of making death threats, spend 45 months behind bars and three years supervised release, and the question is whether this is an expression, is it a first amendment case or something else. it's a pressing question for the court. whether the subjective intentions matter, or is it what

a reasonable person would have thought or feared in the social media post. >> you can understand why the local authorities felt the same way. one thing i want to ask you about, examining religious freedom in u.s. prison. what do we need to know about this case? >> it comes on the heels of hobby lobby. this one has to do with growing beards in prison. one prison in particular saying that they do not want men to have beards longer than a quarter. a particularly prisoner says i need to grow a beard half an inch or longer because i'm a practicing muslim. prison officials sit you can hide sim cards, weapons, in terms of security and communications they need to control that. it's a question of the court weighing religious freedom

against the freedom. there's 44 prisons, over 40, and the federal prison systems allowing prisoners to grow facial hair. there's another religious freedom case, and that - they are being sued for not letting a young woman wear a head dress. two similar cases on religious freedom before the court. >> we'll look out for those decisions. jamie floyd, thank you for breaking it down. to the politics, the count town continues, 29 days until the fall elections. a recent comment by president obama is a driving issue in several races. david shuster joins us. you are trying to align your opponent with president obama. >> it's a question of context. president obama gave a wide ranging economic speech about his policies for november.

it's running in republican race. mitch mcconnell, republican senator, has tried to paint alison grimes as an obama clone and is hitting her with this. >> i'm not president obama. >> but obama says a vote for alison is a vote for his policies. >> i'm not on the ballot this fall, but make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. every one. obama needs grimes, and kentucky needs mitch mcconnell. >> the obama comment is front and center in kansas much that campaign between pat roberts, and independent challenger greg orman. >> obama's candidate for senate in kansas, greg orman. a vote for greg orman is a vote for president obama. >> make no mistake, these policies are. >> confidante and white house

advisor david axel rod would not put obama lied in the speech. >> if you understood the speech, the context of the line is the things he's pushing for minimum pay, infrastructure, saying these are on the ballot. when you saw the peach, it was obvious that that is the way. >> you are an ad man. >> it was a mistake. >> for months republicans tried to nationalize the election, putting voter feelings into the mix. new hampshire saying the strategy in dealing with i.s.i.l., including air strikes op i.s.i.l. and syria, has been driven by a white house effort to help. >> i'm fearful that as we look at the military strategy, that it is running the november elections, and he won't have the resolve to follow through a sustained effort to destroy

i.s.i.l. >> republicans want the white house to push on the ground. white house says it's valid. but the why the that president obama is playing politics is absurd. >> senator lindsay graham is praising president barack obama's ebola response and simultaneously criticizing him on i.s.i.l. >> it seems to be all in. i want to help get ahead of this in africa. there's a series of half measures on i.s.i.l. they'll dru the conflict -- draw the conflict out. >> other news. democrat incumbent mark prior is in a tough race. his supporters are attacking republican challenger, a veteran, for voting to a bill that cut benefits. >> veteran groups opposed it.

a new jersey coroner confirmed that the entero virus killed a little boy. he got sick at home. school officials are taking precautions. >> we need to wash our hands. we need to make sure if we see signs that children are ill, that we keep them home. >> i have my son in that school, i don't think i would send them back. >> it struck more than 500 children. the c.d.c. said four people with entero virus in their system had died. >> people in a hot air balloon in california got a ride when the balloon was blown off course and over the ocean in san diego. a couple threw a rope into the water, and several surfers pulled it back to sure. the would-be groom called the experience forgettable, but is not sure he and his fiancee

would take a repeat trip. it's memorable. >> whether it's shark attacks or balloons in the water, you want to be around the surfers. they are good at helping people out. >> a catholic high school in detroit is rethinking policies after hiring a gay chemistry teacher, who was let go after announcing she was pregnant. the decision has not been well received. we are joined in detroit. the school is coming to a conclusion. >> the church prevents homosexual relationships. barb was able to stay on the job because her sexual orientation was something she could keep quiet. when she became pregnant. a major part of her private life became public, maryland took

>> reporter: web wrote about her ordeal, saying the response is overwhelming. students and parents helped protesters and supporters that when pope francis softened a stance onhomo sexuality. >> i would say. depending upon which church you go to, who you listen to, some of the messages - you are welcome. >> it's probably a conflictual message. >> most schools will not comment on those that governed maryland. >> they know that one of their teachers is no longer there, it's a situation that is challenging for students. >> now, sister mary jane, the

policy and practices are under review. >> we have to be faithful to the catholic identity and it's a difficult balancing act to realise that and be fair and just to people in our employment. it will be an interesting road ahead. >> i think there's a potential for challenge. if anything, that is great, if that can come up. >> web has found a new job, and plans to file a lawsuit. in the meantime the nuns who oversee marion high school have a history of being advote kates for justice and peace, and plan to take them into consideration moving forward. bisi onile-ere reporting live from detroit. the brains g.p.s. system, a nobel prize awarded to three scientists who discovered it. what it could mean for diseases such as autism - next.
