we got a statement from brian brown for the national organization for marriage, calling the ruling another example of an obama appointed judge twisting the constitution and the rule of law to impose her own views of marriage. we expect the attorney general of virginia to hold a news conference within the hour to make some comments on this ruling as well, you remember, he yoined the case, the lawsuit in virginia beach shortly being elected and we will see what he that is to say about this coming up. >> thank you. it's a busy day for president obama, minutes s ago the presidt spoke. he reiterated his plan to create more job opportunity the -- opun

brian brown from the national organization for marriage, says, quote, it's more utter lawlessness from the obama administration. >>> the attorney general also is expected to announce tonight that the department of justice will recognize married, gay and lesbian couples in bankruptcy cases and in rules governing federal inmates. greg? >> molly henneberg in washington. thanks very much for that breaking news. >>> a u.s. air force transport plane making an emergency landing. it happened at the air force base outside boston. no injuries were reported. there were 25 people on board. a base spokesman says the aircraft lost pressure over the atlantic ocean. the plane was later fixed before continuing on to dover air force base. >>> more than 150,000 customers in pennsylvania still this hour without any power. days after a winter storm harmed the region with ice. most of the outages are in the philadelphia area where crews from across the county and the country are working to restore electricity. the state's utility commission is promising to look into just how they can better respond next tim

brian brown said it is utter lawlessness from the bum bullpen administration. attorney general holder is expected to announce tonight that the department of justice will recognized married and gay and lesbian couples in bankruptcy cases and also in the rules governing federal inmates. >> molly thank you very much. for the west, especially parts of california, much, much needed reason and snow. that state is gripping with the worst drought. and the rush of precipitation comes the rick of flooding. you can't have one without the other. janice don't is in the fox weather center. they need it but don't need it all in one day. >> they call it liquid gold. but it will make travel treacherous and a lot of rain in a short period of time. but the bottom line, they need to see the moisture and it looks continuous through the work week. we'll look at it. my map is working and our forecast and snowfall in some cases two feet of snow. it is great to get the snow pack over the sierra and winter weather advisery and storm warninglies, an ice storm south of portland with ice a

i want to read, this is a reaction from brian brown, president for the national organization for marriageut he says in part the changes being proposed here to a process as universally relevant as the criminal justice system serve as a potent reminder of why it is simply a lie to say that redefining marriage doesn't affect everyone in society. so there's the states' rights issue, there's the idea that this will be applied in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage -- >> but only in federal court. so basically if you're gay, if you're married, but if you're in a state that doesn't recognize it and you marry a criminal, you better be sure that it's somebody that commits a federal crime, not a state crime because you're only covered under federal law. frankly, i think what holder is doing here is reflecting the reality of the country. this is the most rapidly social change that we have seen in our lifetimes certainly, and there's, frankly, two ways to look at this. either you accept the reality, which is that gay marriage is here to stay. you're not taking that right away. gay families

brian brown of the national organization for marriage called the ruling "another example of an obama-appointed twisting the constitution and the rule of law to impose her own views of marriage in de defiance of the people of virginia." >>> you are now looking live at d.c. and sochi, russia, this morning which could be more polar opposites -- couldn't be more polar opposites now. 35 here in washington. that's on the left-hand side. 59 degrees in sochi, russia. the home of this year's winter olympics. those warm temperatures have had a big impact on competition, too. three men who did not let the heat wave get to them, though, the men of the u.s. ski slopestyle. jim handly just spoke with the three winners of the debut event. >> reporter: hi, folks. you are looking at the trifecta of men's ski slopestyle. congratulations, guys. here we go. we've got gold, silver, bronze, a clean sweep. joss, what is it like to do that? >> amazing. the last time it happened was in salt lake. at the first snowpipe, i was able to witness that. it's cool to be part of history. this is the fifth time our sport's been

we've heard from the national organization for marriage, brian brown says that this is an attempt toates to make the decisions about marriage. does this infringe upon states' rights? >> i don't think it is as much of an infringement as has been suggested. the president has been, legitimately, in my view, criticized for exceeding his authority, particularly with regard to congress. i don't think this is such a case. basically, he's using his authority as president to say that he is going to ensure, in this case, through the justice department, that there's a recognition of these marriages that have been certified in these states. he gives full faith and credit to them. this is going to affect about 1,100 regulations. it's important to note what it does not do. it does not create marriages. it does not declare people married in states that don't recognize it. but if you're married in massachusetts and go to alabama, those prosecutors are going to recognize you as married. and that follows a fairly traditional approach towards giving full faith and credit to those types of marriage cont

that's why they are pushing for the problem of family values and strengthening the family ties. >> brown: brian moulton, what do you respond to that? >> i think it's very unfortunate that our response to adopting stronger values in the country means adopting values of discrimination against a group of people in that country. it's sad to see the arguments that we have heard in the united states for many years about l.g.b.t. equality that it's harmful to families ignoring the fact that these are people who have their own families or are raising children in many instances, exported and even used by american advocates in the country to hurt our community abroad. >> brown: have you seen it translate into direction actions and is it also what's coming with the athletes? do you fear that something might -- i don't know, discrimination against particular athletes? >> well, we have certainly and seen the law applied and we've seen advocates fined. we just saw at the end of last month a newspaper editor fined for running an article about a gay man who lost his job as a teacher because of his sexual orien
