people pay more for their flight, it is raging today. european economists new study says pay what you weigh makes mathematic and economic sense. this is "cnn newsroom" and i i'm suzanne malveaux. same-sex marriage, lawyers argu argued inside the court, people demonstrated outside. supporters of same-sex marriage says -- they say it's about equality. opponents, they say they're standing up for traditional family values and sanctity of marriage april close look at case the court heard and legal issues involved. joe johns was inside the court. must have been pretty incredible to have actually hear and see these arguments. this is all about california prop 8, bans same-sex marriage. >> reporter: that's right, suzanne. the main issue in today's

arguments was simple, actually. it's whether it's okay for a state like california to discriminate against same-sex couples with proposition 8. so, i want to give you a bit of a sense of what was going on in the courtroom today. obviously, a deeply divided supreme court of the united states. the lawyers who are involved in this case hit with extremely difficult questions. the lawyer arguing for proposition 8, argued of course traditional marriage should be preserved for heterosexual couple because it's all about procreation. but the next question, suzanne, about whether if that's true the state ought to ban marriages between infertile couples or marriages between 55-year-olds. justice antonin scalia repeatedly asked ted olson, the lawyer arguing for the other side, to define how long ago gay marriage became a fundamental right. the question got raised in court

today by justice anthony kennedy and they should have taken the case at all. so don't ask anybody to predict how this is going to turn out. >> i was to ask you how you thought it was going to turn out. what was it like outside, inside? what was the feel, the mood, if you will? >> reporter: it's interesting, different cases obviously have different textures. this started out at a bit of a party atmosphere because you could sense there are a lot of people who saw this as a day that was so long coming, a day they had wanted so much just for the court to hear them and hear their case. and why they thought they ought to have the right to be married. inside the courtroom, tense, yes, but also funny at times. there's always a lot of sort of tongue in cheek humor if you will. and that played well. the other thing i have to say is that it's very rushed. these are issues have been a

long time brewing in states. just to sit in the court for an hour or two, as the attorneys tried to sum up everything they have been working on on this for so long, it's pretty tough. it's pretty tough to do. and it will be very interesting to sow whee what the court does it. >> we'll be able to listen for ourselves what took place inside the courtroom. give us a sense of what we should be listening for. any special moments or things that grabbed your attention during that about 90-minute proceeding? >> reporter: yeah. i do think you really want to hear, in my view, the exchanges between justice antonin scalia and ted olson as the justice tried to push him again and again it define when it was that gay marriage became a right in this country, because if ted olson were to have answered that question, then the next question obviously is, so it wasn't a fundamental right when the

constitution was written, was it? this is something we're doing later on, something perhaps we're making up, and of course ted olson, being i very good litigator before the supreme court would not go for it. that's the kind of thing that i think was very interesting. also the -- any of the questions that have to do with procreation, where a number of justices raised different hypotheticals, you know, about the right time or you know or should people who have been -- 55 years old and can't have babies, should they be banned from marriage? just a range of issues, fascinating discussion. if you could, you ought to listen to the whole thing. >> we'll try work that. we'll try to sneak that in to a one-hour show. thank you, joe. we'll give you audiotapes, we'll be playing them throughout the hour. you'll be able to hear what took place inside the supreme court earlier today. it could be the biggest case of

i imagine she's been trying to move on with her life. >> yeah, she's certainly has, since she was freed in the fall of 2011. she came home to a big, heartwarming homecoming, tears at the airport, lot of support. but she has tried to live a low-key life. enrolled in the university of washington, taking classes again. that's where she was attending school when she went on her foreign exchange program and wound up under arrest in italy. after sometime of taking classes there, friends and family told me that it was very difficult. she took a break and she's been working on writing that book which will be coming out next month. >> how are they respond 0iing t all of this? >> surprise, disappointment. amanda was with her mother and stepfather at their home in west seattle when they got word from attorneys this morning. they had been warned this was a possibility. the hearing yesterday in rome, seven hours long, went longer than attorneys hoped.

there was some eaconcern they we thinking about something along this line. amanda did not give a public statement but did issue one through her pr firm today saying that this was very painful news to hear and saying, again, that she is innocent and that the prosecution's theory for her involvement in this murder is absolutely unfounded and unfair. amanda knox also expressed concern and said her heart goes out to the family of meredith kercher. >> linda, thank you so much. we'll be following this. in phoenix the murder trial of jodi arias about to take place. it's going to resume. she of course, as you know, accused in the killing of her ex-boyfriend. back on the stand the defense team's second expert witness, domestic violence expert who specializes in treating battered women. she's expected to say arias killed her ex in self-defense and a victim of domestic

violence. this is a tragic story. and could blame sherry west for being very, very angry and hurt, really differeevastating. her 13-month-old paby is dead, murdered by two teens when they tried to rob her in georgia. she says they asked for money, she didn't have money, and so she says that they shot her in the leg and then they shot her baby in the face. 17-year-old demarcus el kins will stand trial. west tells piers morgan she wants revenge for her baby's killing. >> they're being charged with felony murder and i just -- i just hope, you know that he -- that the shooter dies. i mean i had to watch my baby die. and i want him to die. a life for a life.

and the young one, he was an accessory, an accomplice. i hope that he gets a juvenile correctional facility until age 21 and consecutive life sentence in state prison. >> you chose to cremate your little baby, antonio, and you had a private memorial service. would howe wou how would you like to remember his short live? >> alive, walking around, waking me up. he didn't even get to say his first words. i'll never hear his first words. >> that is heartbreaking. it's unclear if this other teen, who is 15 is treated as an adult or juvenile in this case. also what we're working on for this hour. looking for a cheaper air fare? one report suggests losing

legal debate over same-sex marriage reached the highest court in the land, the supreme court. the outcome could determine how

we define marriage as well as our own families. the supreme court heard arguments today in the first of two cases. it deals with california's prop 8 which bans same-sex marriage. ted ol son argued against the ban. >> just wrong, it is not consistent with the ideals and the laws and the constitution of this country to take our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters and put them in a class and deny them rights that we give to everyone else. >> austin is the senior legal counsel which supports the ban on same-sex marriage. good to have you here. the supreme court could take many different options. they could rule same-sex marriage unconstitutional for all states across the board, no states, just california, or throw this indicate out altogether. what would you consider to be a victory? >> well, the same thing we've been asking the supreme court to

do all along, keep the debate alive in this particular case. americans across the country are invested in the debate about marriage and we are asking the supreme court not to rule with a heavy hand. we don't need the supreme court to intervene. our democratic institutions where the debates belong and keep it with the people. that's what we're asking the supreme court to do. >> so, for a victory for you uld be for them to throw out the case and have this to be settled along the court of public opinion, among politicians, among communities themselves? >> well, not necessarily throw out the case. we believe the supreme court should rule that marriage, union of one man and one woman, is constitutional and that question was asked in the courtroom today when did marriage become unconstitutional? and our opponents could not answer that question. we believe the supreme court should uphold marriage and right of americans to uphold marriage and up hold it in public policy

and leave the debate on same-sex marriage to the he leelected representatives. we don't not supreme court to rule the same-sex marriage is the law of the land. >> anything you heard in arguments that made you optimistic perhaps? >> we remain optimistic about what the supreme court should do and what we're asking it to do. the optimism stems from the fact the court was endagaged in the debate. they asked important and probing questions. we're satisfied with the argument made. we feel there was an explent presentation on marriage as a whole. we're looking forward to the decision later this year. >> what do you make of the fact that ted olson, prominent republican, argued in bush v. gore, is at the mantel of making sure that same-sex marriage is upheld as a constitutional right and you have many prominent republicans who have decided they are in support of same-sex

marriage. that was a group that was pretty much in your camp. >> marriage is not a partisan issue. we saw in november of 2012, when four stated voted on marriage, we had tens of thousands of democrats in those states voting for marriage as marriage outdid the republican presidential ticket. this is not a partisan issue. this is an issue that unite the country. we've seen red and blue state as like vote to uphold marriages as a union between one man and woman. it's an american issue. we need to leave it to the american people. >> we'll see how this supreme court weighs in on all of this. it's far from over. we'll be hearing some oral arguments, audiotapes inside. also following tomorrow because case number two goes before the supreme court regarding same-sex marriage. thank you, good to have you. debate raging today whether or not people who actually weigh more should pay more to fly. a european economist say has published a study on the concept of pay what you weigh.

yes, right. he says asking flyers to pay according to body weight is simple math and good economics. >> because i'm straight up xhoo economists for me it is no the he discriminatory. >> miles o'brien, pilot, aviation expert. you do a bit of everything. what do you make of this? >> first of all, it sounds tongue in cheek. but as a pilot, one thing that's very important is the amount of weight on your aircraft. weight equates to the amount of fuel and the safety of the aircraft. if you have too much weight on board you're not going to take off. it's probably not a bad idea or fairness sake because we have a system where the skinny people with their baggage subsidize the heavier people with the baggage. skinny people pay for their

excess baggage. the heavy people don't pay for the excess baggage they carry with them on the plane if you will. so it -- i guess you could say this is an issue either way it goes to the bottom line. >> all right. but, miles, okay, i hear what you're saying. but clearly, this sounds like discrimination, right? you're going to charge people who are heavier more to fly? that doesn't seem fair either. >> well, yeah, it doesn't but if the premise is it costs more to carry heavy baggage which is true, then that premise should hold for heavier individuals. so if the fairest of world, if you did a cumulative weight of the passenger plus his or her luggage and they are charged for the weight, that would be by far the fairest. that would be a level playing field. you can imagine how that's not going to go over so well are i don't think so. i want to switch gears. a lot of confusion over this. i was on a flight and had my

cell phone on, and you have to turn it off but "the new york times" reporting the faa might stop forcing us to shut off electronic devices during take-off and landing and that might happen by the end of the year but it's not including cell phones. explain this. how does this work? >> this is all in process. "the new york times" blog released some information of this committee that involved the industry and the faa and the electronics manufacturers. they're trying to come up with a more sane policy. let's face it the policy that we v have now is draconian, silly. the fact that on my ipad i have an airplane mode. why shouldn't i put it on airplane mode and read the newspaper as we're taking off? it doesn't emit anything when it does that. that's one of the sane approaches the faa's considering the "times" blog released

information as they consider ideas. we're not going to get a final ruling until july. until that time we have to live with those draconian rules. it's lighter to carry this than the three newspaperize used to carry on board. why not allow me to read this at all times? i'm on the plane as long as i'm not transmitting. >> one more question before i let you go. i'm getting mixed answers. if you have your cell phone on, does that disrupt what the pilots and communications, what's happening when you land or take off or is it okay to have your cell phone on? >> i can tell you i have flown with my cell phone on in my little plane next to the navigational gear for many, many hours and it never experienced a single problem with it. so it's -- frankly it's a bit of overreaction erring on the side of safety. no one has spent money to analyze what it does. and this is -- this process that

is under way now maybe we'll get information into the system instead of a straight da conian, you can't use it. >> you've used that word a couple of times, draconian. maybe we'll see changes. miles, great to see you. >> another threat from north korea today but just how concerned should we be about an attack from north korea? how seriously is our government and the military actually taking these threats? suddenly, she does something unexpected and you see the woman you fell in love with. she's everything to you. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache.

north korea unleashing a new rund of threats against the united states. the military's putting unit on combat ready status. that means to for possible strike on u.s. bases and elsewhere. chris lawrence is joining us. this isn't the first time that the north korean leader issuing threats. do we think this is more than just heated rhetoric? do we think think is serious? >> reporter: one thing u.s.

officials are trying to discern now what are motivations behind rising levels of threats. it started with the wild threat to attack the u.s. mainland which north korea simply does not have the capability to do. but then recently, we've heard them threaten to wipe out south korean military units on some of the border islands in north korea, going after some of the u.s. military bases there in the pacific area. those are within reach of north korea. and i think what officials are trying to do right now is to determine exactly if this is indicators of some sort of fundamental insecurity that the regime is feeling or if this is domestic politics designed to really pump up the new leader. but the real concern here, suzanne, is that all of these threats, at some point, the leader may feel compelled to act on them to prove sort of that these threats were real and should be taken seriously. that's a worry. >> is there any way that the

pentagon can figure that out? i mean you have to try to get into the mind of the leader there kim jong-un. any way there's a deadline this time he might really pull the trigger? >> reporter: well, you know, last night i was talking to the former command or of u.s. forces korea, and he said human intelligence is extremely hard to get in north korea. one of the hardest places on earth. they do a lot of surveillance, they do a lot of listening in, constantly 24/7 listening to interceptic calls. getting visuals is trickier. depend where the satellites are are getting intelligence is hard. they're not as concerned about what north korea is saying but what they are concerned, and what we heard an hour ago during a short briefing with some officials here, is that they're concerned this may lead to provocation that, quote, could take us to a place none of us

wants to go and that could be a small-scale conflict with the danger that it can escalate slowly but surely each side going tit for tat. >> coming up on "the lead" an exclusive interview regarding bin laden's death. who was the real shoot? a different account how bin laden died. housing starting to come back. new numbers showing that home prices increased 8.1% in january, compared to a year earlier. that is the biggest year over year price jump since 2006. so, is now the time to buy, sell, hold? ali velshi and christine romans are here to help out in "how to speak money." >> unless you live in a cave like ali here, you may know the housing market is hot again. >> it's a man cave. i'm refinancing it right now because rates are near-record lows. they've inched up but around
