ohio says, never mind. people with same-sex marriages, ohio does not. special consideration should trigger an equal protection finding under animus. we have all of these facts that went into the passage of the 2004 ohio supreme court and ohio constitutional amendment. to name one, it is the description of the measure that was published by the secretary of state, blackwell, and it is on the website. they have the pros and cons. they say the measure will prevent the state from spending any money and allowing homosexuals, described as being in deviant relationships. there is a prejudice their and a notion that there's some weight -- bears some right. >> i have a lot of sympathy for the judge on this point. it is not to create a new category of people who are bigo ts. >> that is not the point. it is not about labeling somebody a bigot. it is like an unemployment case and my client was fired because they would not concede to a customer demand, in a title vii case, it is not a defense to honor customer prejudice. in this situation, under palmore, a custody de

jeffrey roiter, director of the ohio c grant college program at ohio state university. doctor, good to have you with us. have these blooms been getting worse in the lake over a long period of time or is this something that has abruptly happened? >> no, would he have seen a gradual increase in the concentration ofs for fo s foph coming into the lake since the mid 1990s. the blooms returned in wow 2. so over the last dozen year, the blooms over the last six years have been worse than the early blooms. and the trend is in the wrong direction, yes. >> doctor, how can water be not good to drink and then 48 hours later it's okay? a lot of people responded to our story last night wondering how do we know it's okay to drink. >> well, they were doing lots and lots of testing on that water. and the key thing you have on recognize that the water at the intake, the source water or the raw water coming into the plant clearly was not safe to drink. and i think every understands that. in the process of removing the toxins from the water, they got the level down to as far as they could

in this case columbus ohio is where the decisions are made in ohio, and the people of toledo are on the receiving end of those decisions and lancing, michigan, are the--is the place where the decisions are made in michigan. and both those--they have rich farming areas. look, the farmers are an enormous part of the economy, there are a lot of issues, you've got mining issues and pipeline issues and any number of other issues that are on the table that great lakes have an interest in. in this case the science is there. it's clear what needs to be done and it's clear who needs to do it. you change the federal law to do t but that doesn't seem very likely given washington but the last allow the states to take action. the laws would have to be changed to give the epa a lot more authority than they have right now. >> joining our discussion now from toledo, ohio, christine meyer, professor of ecologically at the university of toledo's lake erie center. welcome to the program. have you had a glass of water yet? >> i have, i have, good toledo tap water. >> was there any second thoughts when you

based on ohio cases and all state recognition of out of state same-sex marriage and in respect to the michigan case that was just argued, which involved interstate licenses of same-sex marriages. the fundamental question in all of these cases is the same and that's not whether ohio should recognize same-sex marriage but who should make that important decision of public policy on behalf of the states. rejecting the ohio voters decision on this policy issue, the district court ignored its place within the judicial hierarchy and our democracy. i'd like to begin with the baker point because i think it is as significant on this recognition case as it is on the michigan case and in the prior vs. sion, the case of -- massachusetts was discussed. inthat ages had it right where the judge talked about any right that they recognize has to be consistent with the state, which the plaintiffs in this case have not proffered any ground in which to distinguish the right to recognition from the right to licensing. essentially, they make same approach with respect to baker. that is to say doctrinal deve

question that ohio would recognize marriages that would not be lawful in ohio. retains the exception of public policy. there is no way that you consider the exception is tied to animus and there is not a deeply rooted notion to the exception. cited brown from the 1890's. i disagree that the federalism rationale played no part in the ruling. it was not a structural and constitutional case. the federalism rationale was the entire rationale for why there was an animus there. that is entirely gone here. the federal government had engaged in an unusual intrusion thatt was the unusual law triggered the animus for me. usu cannot say it -- anim scrutiny. you cannot say it in this case. the public policy exception cannot be explained. >> the public policy exception is not recognizing same-sex marriages and the content could for been a crime in ohio most of that time that you are talking about. >> well, that goes to show that there is. deeply-rooted right to out of state recognition of same-sex marriage. record materials. the inequality foundation made it clear that the l

so ohio, and this is such a big between the ohio and michigan cases, i totally support and agree with the arguments and terms of the fundamental right to marry, but this point we're just doing a recognition case. marriage -- little question is a simplistic, but i'd love to hear your reaction to it because we allave all these cases and these issues. my rather simplistic way of isn't the it is, first question whether a state can decide for its own purposes, citizens whether to recognize same sex marriage? decides it's not going to do that for now and if the u.s. constitution permits that i seems really odd to me that they can be told, okay, even though you can make that choice for your own citizens, if someone comes from state that public policy choice doesn't bind you. the case andnk of vice versa, if you win that of ohiof the state under the 14th amendment must recognize same sex marriages of course state, then it follows you win the point.tion >> but look at our decision grid, because you're suggesting question of states defining marriages it's a ofeshold question for all this. >> it
