ashleigh? >> i want to also, sara, thank you, bring in jessica yellin, our white house correspondent, our chief white house correspondent. jessica, it is no secret that americans do believe that israel is a, either a great allay or a friend, to the tune of about 80% of them. but when it comes to just what we should be doing, if israel decides on any kind of preemptive attack on israel, or any kind of attack, it's almost 50/50. in fact, i believe the numbers are 49, yes, 49, no, we should support that nation. those are the kind of numbers that are not lost on an administration, when they have to go in and negotiate conversations. how public will those conversations be? >> reporter: excellent question, ashleigh. i think what you -- those conversations will be very private, is the answer. what you're going to see on this trip is largely reputation of the same language you've heard from the president in public on iran, here in israel, that you've heard back in the u.s. you will hear him talk, i exp

>> they were so focused, ashleigh.are on to day 37 next monday of this trial, and to me they were as focused as ever. they were not taking notes while the answers to their questions were being read back. and they do take notes, sometimes a lot of notes, but they were just listening. they were focused, intent. you know what's interesting, i was sitting in the courtroom, and when they left for the lunch break and went out that door, which is sort of close to where i'm sitting, i heard someone laugh. i heard a juror actually laugh. it was a female and it was a big laugh. i don't know what that means, but this jury is invested and, boy, were those questions amazing. >> and there's one other thing that oftentimes the cameras just sort of jump out before you have to go perform warnings every day for jurors, and that is a judge saying to those jurors, very, very seriously, you may not read newspaper articles, listen to radio stories, watch television when it comes to this case. i always am amazed by how serious the admonishme

hi, everybody, i'm ashleigh banfield. and we are about midway through a second straight day of supreme court arguments over marriage. who can enter into it. which rights and benefits follow from it, and who can defend so-called traditional marriage when you walk into a courtroom? today, the federal defense of marriage act of 1996 is being challenged by an elderly new york woman who was hit with a giant federal tax bill when her same-sex spouse passed away. had the feds recognized this woman edith windsor's marriage which was valid in new york state, she would not have owed that tax. but it's not just about the money, it's about the principle. a lot of principles, actually. there's perhaps nobody better to explain those principles than law professor and legal contributor jonathan hurley. i hope you can hear me. i can hear the argument going on behind you. i just can't hear the silent arguments going on with the justices right now. when it comes to doma, the defense of marriage act, again like yesterday and prop 8, is this

>> reporter: ashleigh, we do. let me show you where. right now you can see where the arm, the 80-foot arm of the track is situated. we've seen that arm go down into what seemed to be the cav earn. maybe we'll see this in a moment. they are trying to make sure they prevent any new debris from going into that hole. they send that arm down and pick up any new debris and bring it back. again, it was quite interesting, quite incredible quite frankly to see that arm go so far and from what we know, it could be 50 feet deep or 20 to 30 foot wide. it's a big cavern. the question is what is that foundation standing on? there's a concern that the foundation itself could collapse into the hole. you do find as you mentioned, a delicate process to remove the debris. >> it's hard to believe that they can't recover the body. how precarious is the earth? i'm thinking about the homes on either side of this home or entire neighborhood. how bad is this? >> well, put it this way, there have been helicopters overhead and we learned just today there was a re

but ashleigh, it's a mixed bag. because the reason why this case was prosecuted was because of the ground swell on social media. and when we talk about social media, we're talking about girls and women, ordinary girls and women, who took to twitter, facebook, instagram, and demanded this prosecution happen. it did happen. demanded that law enforcement prosecute this case. they did prosecute this case. and we got a guilty verdict. so i applaud women across this country, who stood up for this girl, who could not speak for herself at the time she was being raped, and objected loudly to what happened. i think there's a lot of progress going on in this country on women's right, and specifically on rape and sexual assault. >> so, kathy, you have been through this. what's out there for the victim once the courtroom doors close? i mean, we've heard the threats. does she have any protections? does the state look at her? does someone make sure that someone doesn't act on these threats? >> no. no. the victim is out there reall

>> ashleigh, he had a virtual arsenal at his house. gun safes, all kinds of additional weapons, knives, guns, samurai swords. let's see, 1,400 rounds at the very least, is how much we added up so far. and additionally, some more detail about how many rounds were fired that day. according to the chief prosecutor, they counted up 154 rounds that were fired at sandy hook elementary school when he killed those 20 children and six teachers. we know in addition to that, that they found six magazines that, of course, went with that assault-style weapon. three of them, half of them, were empty, but the others still had rounds left in them. something like 10, 11, 13 rounds. numbers like that. also found, a holiday card with a check in it, and police document that this was authored, this card, by his mother, signed presumably, by his mother. and it was for a check to purchase a gun called a c-183. now, i'm talking to my gun experts who tell me this might be possibly be two guns. either a handgun or a.12-gauge shotgun. >> so it was signed by his

>> no, frankly i didn't, ashleigh. the truth is though you're right.is a pivotal moment in a lot of ways. and a lot of people are saying that. some people even comparing it to the days back in the 1960s when the supreme court first heard the cases relating to interracial marriage. it's that big. and the court is going to have two chances on two different cases to deal with this. first as you said proposition 8, that's a california case. and then the defense of marriage act which is a federal law passed back in 1996. all of it is about whether the government state or federal can discriminate against same sex couples, ashleigh. >> with only about a minute in the show, i can't do justice, pardon the pun, to both of those extremely heavy and weighty cases, but we're going to do some massive coverage obviously not only on prop 8 tomorrow but doma on wednesday. but in the meantime the thoughts of those that have come from far to be a part of this, luckily the media doesn't have to wait in line, we get designated seats. but just to be a part of it, what's it
