civil rights case? that is been rejected by the courts, severely! here, there is a case where they say that gay marriage, sex marriage, threatens the institution of marriage. if that is true? and nobody can hear the case because we are all have an interesting marriage. if judge walker has a particular interest in same-sex marriage? it is merely to attack him, for his sexual orientation. >>reporter: judges asking several questions about disclosure. >> what we strive for is for judges to put aside any personal interests that they might have. if a judge has been raped? should a judge set on a rape case? >>reporter: judge will rule quickly, as soon as tuesday. in san francisco, teresa estacio, kron 4 news. >> our newson de pm as just getting started with the with informational bottom the rest made in connection with the michele le hulman news at 8:00 p.m. is just kidding started. with more about the arrest made with michelle le. first lady michelle obama and the preparations being made. >> and up close few, of the galaxy tablet is available for pre-order through best buy .com and it will hit stores on friday. in a giving you a sneak peak that is coming up on

of civil war? could we actually be looking at the formation of a first al-qaeda state? joining me now, daniel greene, a fellow at the washington institute for near east policy. mr. greene, thank you very much for being with us. are you skeptical that the president will actually be returning to his country? i was under the impression that perhaps the saudis would not allow him to do so >> no, it's a very good question. there have been a number of reports, some a few days, some a couple of weeks, some mention a few months. i think that ambiguity plays to president saleh's benefit in some respects and allows him to continue what he does well, which is to bargain, negotiate, and get the best deal for him but i don't think, as you said earlier, that the state of yemen is in the crisis point that, al-qaeda will take it over. al-qaeda just doesn't have the manpower to do that. frankly, the yemenis will never want that to occur. gregg: assuming the president does not return, who is in control? >> sure. thankfully, yemen has a constitution, although it doesn't necessarily always follow it, it is in this case. the vice president is currently acti

institutions can be spread everywhere. they represent a unique civilization. you can't really become chinese, you have to grow up in its cultural environment, you can't naturalized as a chinese. americans thought of the world as composed more or less equal societies than it had a concept of sovereignty to go with it. the chinese until the end of the 90's solvable thus tributaries to what they call the entire. tributaries didn't mean that they had to pay tribute, they had to bring come it was expected they would bring some gifts, but they were also given gifts in deterrent but what it did mean is it became the respect for the chinese society and chinese supremacy in its region so chinese relations are placed more on mutual respect than a concept of equality. but the chinese, as we do, believe the values are unique to and makes them even more sensitive than we would be to outside treasures telling them how to redo their society. >> is it a superiority? >> host: you also write winter at entered the modern age, it had a tremendous experience with diversity by the end and the accounts you had cities that govern themselves and an entire political philosophy built on that concept. you also think when ch

institutions, universities, government, mainstream media, and i hate to make a statement, but i've seen it, i'm in the washington, d.c., in the halls of power, and i see this self-loathing for western civilizationthere's an attraction for anything that's not western, so there's a natural sympathy with islam that they're victims. the palestinians are victims of the western style israelis. that's a strain running through, and young people, they are being taught this revisionist american history not only revisionist american history in our schools, in public schools and universities. there's a lot of confusion, and there's a lack of pride, a lack of sense, a lack of self-worth in western man now, and great britain as i outline in the book, there's a chapter in there a cautionary tale, great britain is the center of this western suicide. >> host: you know, bernard louis, a score lar said that europe will probably be islamist by the end of the century. do you buy into that? is that a possibility? are they moving with that kind of momentum? >> guest: so rapidly, and i think he's too conservative. i can see in great britain and people say that's crazy. no, it's not just me saying this. leading scholar

instituting afghanistan's first constitution in the 1923, the king granted afghanistan's women the right to vote. by the 1960s afghan women were participate anything the country's legislature, until civil service and numerous professions. article 25 of afghanistan's 1964 constitution states the people of afghanistan without any discrimination or preferences have equal rights and obligations before the law. article 26 states, liberty is the natural right of the human being, and that the liberty and dignity of the human being are in vie la bl and inalienable. the constitution clarified in article 27 by stating that all the people of afghanistan, both men and women, without discrimination privilege have equal rights, obligations under the law. and by 1977 women composed 15% of afghanistan's legislature. and then even as late as 1987 enacted under the communist party rule they went even further stating: the citizens of the republic of afghanistan, both men and women, have equal rights and duties before the law irrespective of their national, racial, linguistic, tribal, educational, social status, religious creed, political conviction, occupation, wealth and residence. today's problem with afghan women's rights derives directly from the

institutions, universities, even the government, mainstream media, and i hate to make a blanket statement that i'm in the media in washington, d.c. in the halls of power and i see this self loading western civilization there is an attraction for anything that's not western so there's a natural sympathy with islam. the palestinians are victims of the western-style is release. that is a stranger running for young people being taught this revisionist history not only american history but revisionist islamic history and our schools and public schools and universities there's a lot of confusion, and there is a lack of pride, lack of sense and self worth and western man now and great britain and i have a chapter a cautionary tale great britain is the center of this western suicide. >> host: you know bernard lewis, scholar, said that europe will probably be islamist by the end of the century. do you think that is a possibility? are they moving with that kind of momentum? >> guest: so rapidly and i think bernard lewis might have been too conservative. people are going to say you're crazy this is alarmist. no it is not just me to be the leading scholars have said this. great britain by the year 2015 will hav

institutions like the university of maryland are critical to our continued leadership in the world. as president lowe said, and i quote, the american research university, growing achievement of american civilization, must respond to this sputnik moment. we are a premiere research university, speaking of the university of maryland. he went on to say we must also become a premiere innovation and entrepreneurial university. i have no doubt, mr. speaker, that the university of maryland is well equipped to fulfill that role and do its part for our state and our nation. and i have no doubt that wallace lowe was exactly the right person to choose to lead the university at this time. i want to wish dr. lowe and the university the very best as it works with so many other extraordinary universities and colleges and educational institutions in the united states of america to make sure that we make it in america. that is to say that we outeducate, we out build, we out innovate our competitors so that we can provide the kind of quality of life, the jobs that our people need, a growing economy for the future, for our children. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yiel
