lawrence case. five 2003, we finally got rid of the sodomy problem. the argument could no longer be made that can't argue for constitutional rights for gay people because you could be put in jail. that case definitively got rid of that. it did two really useful things. it said you could no longer at -- that discrimination against gays is justified on moral grounds. for now on, we are going to recognize it is not up for the government to decide who you spend your life with. it is the choice of the individual. the other, it recognized that gay couples have the same lifelong relationships as everyone else and deserve respect. when you take those elements and put them together, the argument for marriage equality is strong. if you do not believe me, justice scalia said so at the time. we have been waiting since 2003 for the other shoe to drop. this is not an easy process either. but the movement at that time was to go back to the state-by-state strategy to chip away at sodomy laws. first, successfully in

but the thing that distinguished lawrence even during that period is that lawrence, one he picked historical but also his work was never divisive. he told a people about his people in a way that communicated their perseverance and their inner strength. he really believed that he was painting the are beauty of people's struggle to better themselves. in many ways his work stayed the same as he aged. there is a remarkable consistency, the union of modernism and realism as we call it. an artist who created bridges not only told the stories of african american history but told the story of african americans and caucasians working together. that struggle towards something the possibility of a better future was something he hoped his work would communicate. >> jacob lawrence's migration series is currently under display at the american museum of art. >>> a nine day cross country trek driving itself. built by delphi automotive, to steer through traffic and brake. delphi's chief technology office says it will probably be another ten to 15 years before self-driving cars are actually ready for the publ

that's different than lawrence but i do think that what lawrence has allowed us to see is that the justifications for excluding gay and lesbian couples from equal participation in this institution just hold up. i do think -- the court has raised this question about whether what we are talking about here is a fundamental change in the nature of marriage and i think the answer to that question is that this case can be decided by thinking about marriage in exactly the way the states, the respondent states and other states have defined marriage now. i think it is important to think about it this way. heterosexual couples can enter marriage and they can have families through biological pro creation, they can have families through assisted reproduction, they can have families through adoption, or they cannot have families at all. >> what do you think are the essential elements of marriage as it exists today? >> well, i think the essential elements of marriage are the ones that are -- the obligations of mutual support and responsibility and the benefits surrounding marriage that state law provides to en

that is different than lawrence, but -- i do think that what lawrence has allowed us to see is that the justifications for excluding gay and lesbian couples from equal participation in this institution just hold up. and i do think and the court has raised this question about whether what we are talking about here is a is a fundamental change in the nature of marriage. and i think the answer to that question is that this case can be decided by thinking about marriage in exactly the way the states, the respondent states and other states define marriage now. and i think it's important to think about it this way. heterosexual couples can enter marriage, and they can have families through biological procreation. they can have families through assisted reproduction. they can have families through adoption, or they can not have families at all. justice alito: what do you think are the essential elements of marriage as it exists today? mr. verrilli: well, i think the essential elements of marriage are the ones that are 24 that the obligations of mutual support and responsibility and the benefit

lawrence, you are a son of boston. there's going to be a lot of analysis regardless of the sentence. what's interesting to me is the city of boston has found a ten-point gain in support for sparing dzhokhar tsarnaev's life. there hasn't been an execution in boston in almost 70 years. it's been -- there hasn't been an execution since 1947. what do you think it accounts for the gain in support to spare his life? >> it's not clear to me. but i'm sure that bill and denise richards' op-ed column saying they'd rather spare his life has to be a big factor. and in the horrible scorecard of cornage we have for that day, no family suffered more than the richard family. dead son. daughter lost her leg. mother had severe eye injuries, multiple surgeries. father also injured. and so they are probably the clearest voice that everyone will hear from victims. but as you just showed the victims are not in any way unanimous about this. they go back and forth on it. boston polls, just as a theoretical question against the death penalty.

i do think lawrence was an important catalyst that has brought us to where we are today. and i think what lawrence did was provide an assurance that gay and lesbian couples could live openly in society as free people and start families and raise families and participate fully in their communities without fear. and there are two things flow from that, i think. one is that has brought us to the point where we understand now, in a way even that we did not fully understand in lawrence, that gay and lesbian people and gay and lesbian couples are full and equal members of the community. and what we once thought of as necessary and proper reasons for ostracizing and marginalizing gay people, we now understand do not justify that kind of impression. justice roberts: the difference, of course, is lawrence, the whole argument is the state cannot intrude on that personal relationship. this, it seems to me, is different in that what the

. >> i want to bring in lawrence former assistance defense secretary in the united states i think lawrence, you are with us from our studios in washington, d.c. hey listen you have heard how we have as the day of restoration of hope has begun we are talking about the battle for control of yemen. do you think here as our guest here has said this is evidence that the military capability has been pretty much destroyed? i think it is a combination they have destroys a lot of the capability, but they are getting a lot of bad press because of the civilian casualties that have occurred with the bombing and also, with the presence of the american ships now particularly the aircraft carrier, i think they feel the houthis will not be able to be resupplies any more. >> i am sorry i was looking to see if the confirmation had come from sawedly television, if there were any more details we don't know very much. you believe it could be been the big aircraft carrier that has finally made them think enough is enough? yeah i do think because if the -- you know the saudis are putting their national guard on
