roberta vargas as you already mentioned, and ms. paula fleichser who is one of our experts. i wanted to make a very brief statement. it's a real honor to be here to speak to this commendation on behalf of our staff. we have over a hundred faculty and staff at the institute for health policy studies. ucsf is by far one of san francisco's many, many treasures. but the newest discovery for medicine and population health often get locked up in the ivory tower and they don't make their way out onto the streets to actually help the population very quickly. so, our institute's core mission is to translate advances in science as they come forward within the university and translate them into policies that help people live longer and live healthier lives. we work directly with people, with leadership at the global level, at the national level, at the state level, and at the local level. but nowhere are we more committed to helping, helping out than in our hometown in san francisco. and that's why we instituted the san francisco health improvement partnerships, to help our own. you bo

speaking of edith windsor i want to play another exchange between justice roberts and windsor's lawyer roberta kaplan. let's play that right now. >> you don't doubt that the lobby supporting the enactment of same-sex marriage laws in different states is politically powerful, do you? >> with respect to that category of the term for purposes of heightened scrutiny i would, your honor. i don't -- >> really. >> yes. >> as far as i can tell political figures are falling over themselves to endorse your side of the case. >> what do you make of that, chief justice roberts suggesting that the same-sex lobby, the human rights campaign and other gay rights organizations, is so powerful in it's remarkable. >> right. what's going on here underlying that exchange is this fight over the standard the supreme court and other courts should use for judging discrimination cases on the basis of sexual orientation. if gay people are a super powerful political lobby the court doesn't have to worry about them very much but if we think of them as a group that suffered historical, serious discrimination they deserve wh

>> guest: a woman named roberta kaplan from new york will be representing edith windsor.ve a long line of the beginning with a woman named vicki jackson who is a harvard law professor and a supreme court appointed specifically to our view the case cannot be decided on the merits because the federal government no longer is defending the section 3 of the defense of marriage act and a bipartisan republican dominated group of house members have come in to defend it, and the question is can we do it, do they have what is the legal standing to do that? >> host: as we are talking people are heading into the court right now. is only about 20 minutes to 8:00. so to get along in the folks have to sit there? >> guest: many people were lined up since last thursday. what the court officials will do is eventually let them in out of the cold to go to the bathroom and once we get to this point on the day of the argument they get in and they start queuing up inside of the building. >> host: who will be arguing on the other side of the case? >> guest: the main advocate against the federal

roberta kaplan, who argued the case. emma carlin, who is a professor at stanford law school and his counsel in the case. from myself, from donna lieberman who is executive director of the new york civil liberties union. and then, what you're all waiting for, a statement from edith windsor and then we will take westerns. >> -- we will take questions. >> good afternoon. today's a role -- today's world arguments tells the lesson on why it is that we have a constitution, to bind us together as citizens of one nation, all of whom are guaranteed the equal protection of the law. and there is no one individual who better personifies the concept of equal protection than my client edie windsor. a few facts. edie windsor met her late spouse you'd aspire in the early 1960s. they ring gauged to each other in 1967. take a moment and and about that. 1967. that was two years before the stonewall movement that led to the modern concept of equal rights for gay people. come about the self-esteem of the courage, the bravery, and the self-re

host: the headline from the washington post -- from san diego, california, roberta. what is your take on president obama bypassing republican leaders in congress and going to the rank-and-file members? you think it's a good strategy? caller: i don't really trust the man to do much of anything that is good for the american citizens. first, i am an american. i vote republican, but i never voted republican or any party my whole life. i always have believed when we vote, we should vote american. we have never in my lifetime had the president that does what he does, divides the people, divide them among rich and poor and white and black and men and women, any where there is to divide the nation, he has done that from the white house. he spends money worse than anybody. it costs $180,000 per hour to fly air force one and he is in that airplane every time i see him go back and forth from the white house. i would say a three hour flight and half a million dollars, but then that means you fly back, so it's $1 million every time he gets in the plane. there's something wrong wi

guest: >> roberta kaplan from new york. she will represent edie windsor. there's a long line of today beginning with vicki jackson, a harvard law professor, specifically appointed to argue the case cannot be decided on the merits because the federal government no longer is defending section of three of the defense of marriage act. republican-dominated group of house members has come in to defend it. the question is do they have legal standing to do that? host: people are heading into the court right now as we are talking. it's only about 7:40. upst: many people were lined since last thursday for and these cases. eventually they will let them in out of the cold to go to the bathroom. once we get to this point on the day of an host: who will be arguing on the other side? guest: the main advocate against the federal government is a man by the name of paul, who many of your viewers are familiar with. he was the lead lawyer challenging the obama healthcare law last year. he is a former general under george w. bush. he will be representing the house members, the

and then the last 60 minutes on the merits. >> host: interestingly paul clement, first roberta -- vicki jackson and then the deputy solicitor general to say even though we are not defending this law, then will come paul clement. there will be a short break and paul clement will come back to the lectern and argue the merits of the case in the house. >> host: so, how does yesterday's argument on composition eight impact or reflect on today's arguments on the defense of marriage act? >> guest: just to remind people what happened yesterday it was a challenge to california's proposition 8 which says that only, marriage should be reserved for just a man and a woman. and the courts in that case would uphold california's law or make it riders to the nation. the signals were very clear yesterday. the justices didn't want to go anywhere near any kind of natural rule for same-sex marriage one way or another and they were almost looking for an offramp to say we are not going to argue the merits of this. having seen that resistance in that half when he case the other day i think we will similarly se

. >> roberta from new york and her grandmother bought it at auction and supposedly it was given to william of the value is in the break. what we mean by that in the weight of the metal. unfortunately it's signed on each cup which you may or may not able to see. the etchinges can't come off. that will hurt the value. >> no famous names >> not that we noticed. it's signed by the great sterling maker. a lot of the value $1,000 $1500. >> that's awesome. liberace pin. >> liberace gave it to the owner of the fountainbleu hotel. >> in this instance about $400 to $600. if we had a note from liberace and there's a movie coming out, if we had a note to go with to it tie to it the piece, maybe could be more. >> so it's the proof of ownership. >> previous ownership. exactly. >> liberace gave out a lot of jewelry. >> this is close to your heart? >> my husband said he was getting in on the action. he has thousand comic books setting there. >> your going to part with these? >> not yet. >> find out how much are they worth? >> about $950. there's more in a group which is even more exciting for us. we would
