it features tables and benches, a playground, restaurants, and tennis courts. there are plenty of areas for football and picnics. it is very much a couple's park. there are many activities you can experience together. stroll on the pathways, bring your dog, or just picnic at one of the many tables and enjoy all that it has to offer together. many couples find this is a perfect park to throw down a blanket and soak up the sun. it is a majestic place that you can share with someone you chairs. lafayette park is also easily accessed from the 47, 49, and 90 buses. it is ada accessible. we are here at the historic palace of fine art in the marina district. originally built for the 1950's exposition, the palace is situated on san francisco's number waterfront. it is ada accessible and is reached by the 28, 30, and 91 bus lines. set against the reflecting waters of the lagoon and eucalyptus trees, the palace is one of san francisco post most -- san francisco's most romantic spots to relax with that special someone while listening to the water and gazing at the swans.

but fun for pedestrians to sit in the new bench area and landscape with color and benches and bicycle parking. in general i think our idea was to enhance them by respecting them. and then continuing that promenade we saw on dolores street. >> thank you, that's a great explanation. and the trees and that's a wonderful idea. i am generally very supportive of this project. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner moore brought up a good point about that turn. and making sure if there is an area, we understand there is a bike lane or space for bikes. but if that radius part, the 14-foot bulb out is fine and you have the roundous radius and making sure it's gracious enough of the bike lane and traffic doesn't have to cut the corner to get in there. i think if tu -- if you look at that carefully it wouldn't compromise your plaza. but if that radius has to be shrunk for right turns and that might be an area. you have an easy cross and you have the median in the middle and putting them there. that may be an area to look at if conflicts arise. >> commissioners, there is a motion and second to

[ laughter ] so heterosexualed are allowed to be (bleep) parents. what is the next argument. >> same-sex marriage is very new. i think it was first adopted in the netherlands in 2000 so there isn't a lot of data about its success. you want us to step in and render a decision on an assessment of this institution newer than cell phones or the internet? [laughter] >> jon: no we want to you render a decision based on whether it's right and fair and just under the constitution having nothing to do with its newness and

we have to fill the bench. it is going to be worse every day if we have an empty federal bench that cannot function. on the 11th circuit today, we have two vacancies. >> another dimension, it has been called to mind in this question that justice sotomayor was cross-examined in a rather aggressive way concerning her statement that a woman, i think she went on to say hispanic woman -- >> wise latina. >> you are running way ahead of me. could understand a lot of things much better than people, certainly such as i, and perhaps even you. so we are talking both about, so to speak on ethnic and cultural background and gender. they are affecting the way people understand what justice is. >> well, she -- i thought she answered the question pretty well. she got confirmed. the fact is that at the same time, the justice alito understands some of those cultural issues. it is interesting. the supreme court of the united states today has no protestants on the supreme court. isn't that interesting? we basically have catholics

several of the bench focused on standing. that is whether the case had been properly defended by the state and traveled the right legal path to them. that could set up the possibility of the high court throwing out the case altogether. some justices were clearly concerned about the new legal frontiers ahead. >> you want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cell phones or the internet? i mean we are not -- we do not have the ability to see the future. >> you're really asking particularly because of psychological evidence you cite for us to go into unchartered waters and you can play with that metaphor. >> justice kennedy who we just heard is the possible swing vote. while he addressed the legal implications, he also discussed what the case means for the children of same sex couples. >> there is an immediate legal injury or legal -- what could be a legal injury and that's the voice of these children. there are some 40,000 children in california accordi

the bench is more than one-third empty. this is reason enough, -- reason enough for senators to reconsider their earlier votes to filibuster. the senate responded to this case in 2008 when we agreed to decrease the number of d.c. circuit judgeships from 12 to 11. well, caitlin halligan is not nominated for that 11th seat. she is nominated for the eighth seat four times now. just a few years ago when the d.c. circuit caseload per active judge was lower than it is now, all republican senators, all republican senators voted to confirm nominees to fill the ninth seat, twice the tenth seat and the 11th seat on this court. when it had less of a caseload than it has now, they had no problem with number nine, ten, 11 to fill it. now you can't make the argument it was a higher caseload that we can't fill the eighth seat. in fact, the d.c. circuit caseload for active judges increased 50% from 2005, 50% when the senate confirmed the nominee to fill the 11th seat in the d.c. circuit bench. the caseload in the d.c. circuit is also -- th

it is the practice at the court when you meet each day to go on the bench, or to send discuss cases, for each justice to shake hands with every other justice. now, that is really special. i don't know how you feel about that, but to shake hands with someone, come on over.
