case, haven't they? >> yeah. they've been so good and so -- we know their heart is in the right place but we know the law is in the right place as well. that's why they're so adamant about this case. they're not just allies. they don't just understand what damage is done daily by having -- from federal rights and state rights. they know we're real people. they've met us. they've hung out with us. they understand that daily damage that we incur by being prohibited. so they've been really -- you know, good friends and great attorneys to reiterate that the law protects all americans. >> stephanie: right. it is nonpartisan. it is human. i've gotta read the end of this piece that your dad wrote as father's day approached, all i could think about is how much i want my sons to marry the person he loves and raise a family. for now, he's still waiting and fighting. i see how much the struggle costs him and how discouraging it is and despite his strength

and patience, the ultimate decision rests in the hands of those who have to act. i'm his father and it is father's day. one day soon, they're going to let my brave beautiful boy walk the same path we all get to take home. i'm crying again. did you wry cry? did you know he was writing it? >> i knew he was writing it. of they had wanted to see if we could get into mod everyone love because it has a broad base of readers. i actually learned things. i never knew i actually went to the leader of the bully's house. i knew he had gotten involved and helped me out at school with it but i didn't know he went to the house. i didn't know the kid had dinner with a couple where that had happened. i didn't know. i couldn't wait to get the details when i talked to him. >> stephanie: chris can we put up a link? it is on stephaniemiller.com. a father, a son and a fighting

chance. what do you think -- you know, it is interesting. this patchwork that they've created legally too obviously our friends in new york who we just had chely wright on last week who was able to get married. it really does create this -- like we're in california, are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? which is why i think it has to be -- it has to be a nationwide thing. i think this is -- in a way the second class of citizens we with created in california is one of the big reasons right? >> absolutely. i think you hit on a point that i say all the time is that your state's boundaries should not have boundaries and rights as well. you shouldn't have to feel like you have to move from a state to another to gain rights and you shouldn't have to feel like you'll lose rights by living in a state you've lived in, bought a home and paid taxes and want to be married in. we firmly believe that. we firmly believe when you put it into that perspective, take it out of the realm of any other

moral or religious issue and you say this is an issue of rights. it is really specificically about human rights. people start to come around and to understand even though you might come from the perspective you meet in the middle. >> stephanie: i have good friends here, one male couple and one female couple that are married. the couples that were -- it is just an odd thing to sit at a table with someone your friends with, they're married. they're married but i can't be. in my case, it is fictional because i'm a loser. with your decisions, you're lucky it isn't legal. >> loser. >> i would find that hard to believe. you're pretty fantastic. >> stephanie: aww. i think like i say, i'm feeling very positive about it, too. when i talk to the reiners or we have ted boutros on or whatever, i'm feeling more and more

confident as we move toward the supreme court i just hope that it is soon. >> you can't help but feel that way. there's so much momentum. but we do have an election coming up. it is important that we re-elect barack obama. it is important that the four ballot initiatives go our way. the polls always tell us one thing but then when they get to the ballot box we end up with a different result. we really need to continue to keep the pressure on not just our legislators but keep telling our stories because when we tell our stories that's really going to be what helps. >> stephanie: i got chely wright to come out of her last closet. she endorsed president obama on the show a week or so ago. she said she's nonpartisan and doesn't believe in parties but you know, you're right. we're in the civil rights battle of our generation and it is all hands on deck. >> absolutely. >> stephanie: paul khatami paul zarillo give daddy a big kiss for me. >> will do. nice to talk to you. >> stephanie: bye guys.

>> well, mr. kantor still hasn't figured out that the american people want something done about the cost of their healthcare and they want access to healthcare so that they're never in danger of being bankrupted. and i -- i think that the republicans continue to swim the wrong way yet they say in the rivers in washington that salmon that swims with the tide is dead. and they are dead. they're not swimming upstream trying to fix this thing. they are just saying well, let's get rid of it. we'll do it for them. >> stephanie: that's such an awesome pike place analogy. >> only a dead salmon swims downstream. >> i think of myself as a salmon that's swimming in alternate directions for america. >> stephanie: he asked why -- he said we can start over and

tell the american people we're on your side. we care about your healthcare. we want quality care at affordable price. this is exactly what the president's affordable care does. it kills me he, representative. i was listening to some -- they had this right-winger conference recently. i forget. they literally said something like well, you know, we realize the status quo isn't working. we want them to -- the supreme court to strike it down but then we want affordable healthcare where there's people -- whatever he said sounds exactly like a mandate. yes, that's exactly what we just passed. it is so frustrating. >> the reason we need the mandate, to be very serious here is that if you don't have a mandate and don't have everybody in then some people are free riders. they're riding along and when they get sick, they're taken care of and the rest of us pay for it in the most expensive way possible. in the emergency room when there is a catastrophe so it makes

much better sense to have everybody in and have preventive care and prevent things than to wait and deal with the huge expense, blood pressure, for instance. if you deal with that, you can prevent strokes. well, what we do now is we take care of the strokes in the emergency room. that's the most expensive way to do it. that's why the mandate is important from a -- not only a financial standpoint but also in the healthcare standpoint. >> stephanie: we had your colleague representative andrews on yesterday and i thought the way he explained it is exactly why you realize this started as a conservative idea. it was mitt romney's idea in massachusetts. it came from the heritage foundation. it was in bob dole's plan. he said you know, say the guy next door is successful, young internet entrepreneur, decides he's healthy. doesn't need insurance. buys a motorcycle instead. gets in an accident. who should pay for that? he goes to the emergency room. it just doesn't make any sense to me. how this does seem to me it should be a conservative idea,

personal responsibility, doesn't it? >> it really is not about the idea. it is about whether president obama gets credit. they didn't want him to have credit and if he had said the sun came up in the east, they would have opposed it because they didn't want him to get any credit for noticing the sun came up in the east. they simply were not going to give on anything in this bill. in fact, people like their kids being coveraged at age 26. they like the fact that there's guaranteed issue. they like there's community rating. they like all of the things that are going in now. and if this bill is repealed today, tomorrow, next week, they will -- all of those things will go away. and so the republicans are now worried -- and the insurance companies are worried about what do they do next? the supreme court actually does take it away. i think -- i make my prediction. 6-3, it will be upheld. >> stephanie: do you really? i believe that echoes nancy

pelosi said the same thing hasn't she? >> i don't know. i went over and watched the oral arguments on the individual mandate and i watched two guys. i watched kennedy and i watched john roberts. and they -- they were asking hard questions and trying to figure out how to -- how they were going to work their way around this issue because they know it is central to a conservative plan for covering everybody in this country. mitt romney put it in massachusetts. now he walks away from it and acts like the devil made him do it or something. i don't know what his explanation is. >> stephanie: yeah. >> but it's clear that there is a lot of concern on the court what will happen if they wipe it out. >> stephanie: it has been the same on every issue as you say the president's for it, they're against it. i wanted to get your take on the president's move on immigration because i think it showed real leadership. it is right thing to do.

and once again do they think we don't get history. republicans backing -- blocking immigration reform. >> well, you know, on that issue, i had a funny experience this morning with one of my colleagues who is -- he's puerto rican. he went to a group of these activists or young activists who were in this group that was affected by the president. and he spoke to them in spanish and the coordinator came up and said he's speaking english because they don't understand spanish. that's the problem. we're sending them back to a place they don't know anything about. so what the president did made absolute sense! and the republicans the headline in the paper here is g.o.p. has no message on the dream act. they are stuck. >> stephanie: yeah. >> he nailed them to the wall. it was a beautiful stroke. >> stephanie: particularly because mitt romney absolutely ran hardest to the right on immigration during the primary. you can't get away from that.

how many times saying i absolutely would veto the dream act. i want to make their life so bad they'll self-deport. you can't -- it is hard to run away from that rhetoric now isn't it? >> yep. i don't think he can and i think the dye is cast with anybody who is here in this country as an immigrant, whoever came here as an immigrant they recognized that the republicans do not like them, do not care and would send them all back probably all the way back to the mayflower if they could. there would be a lot of us who would go in that sweep. they clearly are not responding to what's going on in this country and the people know it. that's why you get that number you quoted of the president being 8 points up on romney. that's because the people see through them. >> stephanie: that was just in your state in washington. in the bloomberg he's up 13. we'll see. i think i've always said i think the media is more interested in

trying to make it seem like a horse race. it literally, i feel like they don't report good news for the president as much as they try to -- just yesterday i think there were all of these stories about the obama campaign is in disarray. >> that all came from fox news. >> well, you know, it is important that the president do very well because he's going to bring back in a congress and democratic governors like jayencely in the state of washington because as he sweeps and people say no, the republicans are crazy. we don't want more of that. we had that and so i think they're going to -- they're going to support the president and that will sweep in the congress that then can do the things behind him that are necessary. >> stephanie: i've said it over and over. representative jim mcdermott our personal favorite from the great state of washington. thank you so much, congressman. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> the president would say the sun rises in the east. what else comes from the east? communism.

>> eric boehlert just tweeted a really really, really good point. this bloomberg poll was among the first to survey likely voters not just registered voters. likely voters is a much more realistic -- points. >> points to the lack of excitement of romney is a big deal. and how motivated obama supporters are. >> stephanie: i love this. >> base that -- because that's not going to change. >> stephanie: newt gingrich says if he stays on the offense obama could lose by a surprising margin. >> that would be surprising.
