state-conferred status, a state institution. 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 mar

the laws from state to state vary dramatically. some have clear mechanisms for who gets to defend the lawsuit if the attorney general refuses. others are silent on the matter. it really drew attention from the general populace. starting to pay attention to attorney generals for the first time ever in a whole new way and saw what kind of power the positions can wield. ms. howe: that brings us to october of last year. there were 22 decisions in a row on same-sex marriage. the supreme court comes back to all these decisions. were you surprised? justice ginsburg warned us all. were you surprised? mr. smith: we all thought the court would grant a petition on the seventh circuit and fourth circuit. i was on the phone sunday with a reporter. hopefully not someone in the room. [laughter] they might hold it for a week, but it just seemed like all of the federal courts were holding state laws unconstitutional, which is almost always at prescription for up brand of -- for a grant of cert. it seems to us like they would have to weigh in. and f

the state.e term seat of federal government or seat of government is the term in the united states constitution and as our next point out, the united states people in the united states did not refer to this place as the capital of the united states until the 1870s except for a very few people such as not george washington, who would not use the word because he so careful about doing things constitutionally. but certainly lahiri enfant the american peter lan fant who designed washington, d.c. and whom i will talk about. i'm highly offended apologies rebecca to hear the word pierre. this man was an american, french born, of course. but like italian born and irish born, they're americans. african born. they're americans. he was an american citizen. the pierre nonsense was created by the american enstatute of architects in the late 19th century in order to claim that offer capitol was not designed by some mere american slob but by a frenchman and indeed a parisian. this was picked up by the french a

one, it goes way beyond what any state court has done thus far. secondly, the atmosphere is global and greenhouse gases mix globally, so oregon can by no means solve the problem, even the problem in oregon. the third problem is providing a remedy, and many courts in... there have been cases brought in other states that have said "this is really for the political branches, this is beyond the capacity of the judiciary to manage." >> reporter: in fact, the circuit court judge in oregon originally tossed out juliana's case on procedural grounds based on that very argument. but last year, an oregon appeals court gave our children's trust one of its biggest wins so far ordering the case back to the lower court for a decision on the merits. four years after the plaintiffs filed their lawsuit, they finally got their day in court on april 7, here at the lane county circuit court in eugene. people lined up two hours before the hearing to watch kelsey juliana's case against the state of oregon. but interestingly, the state itself doesn't dispute many of the

the states will act.ates don't have executions imminent they may sit back and see what develops in court, with the drugs. others will look at compounding pharmacies. some states will change the method. in 13 states we see bills to abolish the death penalty. >> are we at a point where a lot of states are on the bubble and the trouble with the drugs may be the push that puts them in the other column. >> we are in a critical period. a period where a lot has been abolished abolished. four states that had serious bills that are under consideration right now. one passed in the maryland senate judiciary. nebraska and kansas have efforts under way with emerging support from conservative voices. we are at a critical point. and what this does the lethal injection, the combination of the unavailability of the drugs and the badly failed executions is eliminate the myth that you can execute someone in a peaceful way and that at its core an execution against that person's will is a violent act. and so folks have to com

to paraphrase the constitution, if you're going to make a new state from the parent state, the legislature of the parent state has to give its permission. so what did western virginians do? we formed ourd own legislature which then gave itself permission to form a new state. that's how it's happened. thankfully, for our story, the united states won the civil war. our story here is completely different. but this is the government for virginia. here in wheeling that is the government recognized by the congress, by president lincoln and, eventually, also by if supreme court. we are a state because of abraham lincoln. he was faced with the question of west virginia state hood. he was not happy i can tell you, to have 2 state hood bill on his degsing. he had a pretty full plat e plate at the time. and lincoln, it becomes a political decision for lincoln to create the new state of west virginia. now, he had the cabinet of six people. he took the question of where've wv state to his cabinet. he asked them to vote on the i shall shoe of west virginia state hood. and they did. three fsh, tleed gern

the united states is still a one-party state, that there is only one faction.of the republican the republican party has pretty much departed from being a functioning parliamentary organization. but that's not just my judgment. at the very highly respected conservative analyst to the american enterprise institute right-wing think tank pointed out recently and accurately that the republican party has been what we call a radical insurgency no longer committed to the parliamentary participation. there's a lot of truth to that we have seen dramatically the last couple of years. we are seeing it right now, just take a look at today's paper, the description of the house budget. what does it do with a sleight-of-hand which comes from the u.s. market about balancing the budget, but what it actually does is undermine medicare moving to privatize it which means it is the one part of the healthcare system that more health care system that more or less works because it is not privatized due to the fact that it has to work in a highly efficient privatized system in the unite

what could the united states have done differently, because the united states saw them and a strategic ally in trying to base operations against terrorism. >> that's the problem. we focus on yemen as an ally not a nation. we focus on yemen. will the government allow us to fly drones and get rid of a threat posed to the united states by a.q.a.p. don't get me wrong these things are important. we cannot focus on one element and forget the other areas creating chaos. >> what about i.s.i.l. given there's so many groups spread out between syria and iraq. how do they deal with i.s.i.l. chopping off the heads of caseworkers. >> i.s.i.l. is an offshoot of al qaeda, and i believe the only way to deal with them is two fold. you have to beat them militarily. number two, you have to drain the resources. when i talk about the resources, not only financial, but people and fighters as you mention in your report. we have more than 20,000 foreign fighters aidingies, and fighting with i.s.i.s. under the banner of the so-called islamic state. we have you know people coming from 90 different countries to h

there are at least six developments in proximity to the 53 states street project. 176, 178 state street, 190 and 192 museum street project and the other projects. this project will create pressure on nearby vintage homes and destroy the neighborhood character. the oversight development like this one in the neighborhood are walling off 53 states street to the detriment of yards and side yards and trees and greenery, wildlife and i mean squirrels and bees and hummingbirds and other animals in the neighborhood which is very unique in san francisco. at 53 states street relatively affordable house is being demolished and replaced with non affordable housing. now this board has recognized the unique character of my neighborhood and has taken extra ordinary steps to protect it and the board may look at [inaudible] heights when adopting controls last month to protect the community and aesthetics and under assault of increasing numbers of large homes and we incorporate the legislation here know by reference. the cumulative impact is referenced in the "san francisco chronicle" article titled "gro

to state.t is the same basic argument. marriage is a matter of liberty. the 14th amendment says states must give people equal protection under the laws spirit he put together liberty and equality and the same-sex couples are saying, why not us? why can we marry? that is basically where we are today to that is the question they are posing to the supreme court. host: who is the one to watch as far as justices themselves? you mentioned anthony kennedy. guest: yes, it is interesting. he was a reagan appointee and relatively conservative. in every important game race -- gay-rights case, he has been the one who has written the opinion. he has got a very strong view about protecting liberty and privacy. he has also made the argument that you cannot justice from against people because you do not like them. he has not ruled in favor of gay marriage yet it what he has written has sort of laid the groundwork for what is coming. there are with the court four generally liberal justices, four pretty strong c

that is why we have such differences from state to state, with states like texas having 100 years orre of aggressive and increasingly complex regulation of the industry, but other states that are just starting out. similarly, we have a tremendous difference in the reactions that you see between -- the reactions politically to some of the local fights over banning. rep. posey: my time is up and i want to thank all the witnesses for appearing today. my particular interest is an offshore drilling. it is through hearings like this that the chairman was kind enough to have that we share those ideas and we learn from different states, learn different techniques and do more fact-finding on these issues. mr. chairman, thank you and i yield back. rep. smith: thank you. the only member of the science committee from colorado is recognized for his questions. rep. perlmutter: my friend has given examples of the super bowl or whatever. he and i both serve on the banking committee and one of the places we see intersections is with insurance, if there are dangers that some have suggested. we will se

some states did not experience a shortfall. one of the states that did not was washington state. the money was paid in, it was adjusted over time, various adjustments negotiated with the unions, and in 2000 there was 100% coverage of the pensions. when the crisis had come all but two very old pension plans were funded at 100% and they were barely under 100%. the argument as to these other causes to talk about was political mismanagement, politicians who were siphoning off funds. that is the primary story. public-sector unions do not control that. the politicians have to make the decisions. ross reynolds: you are out of time. five minutes to respond. professor disalvo: i am glad michael responded, and i will take them in order. public employee unions, not that they are good, it is that they are not doing harm, which is to say they did not consider it to deficits during the recession, and i cite in the book a study arguing that, that they are not responsible for the pension funding. i cite another book. if i wanted to make michael's case stronger, that is, the no case, i would also

but president obama has correctly stated that the united states is setting precedents and principles that they hope other countries will adhere to. the problem is that the absence of clarity or transparency in these precedents or principles and the clear fact that the outlined guidance that president obama put forth in may 2013 is not directly guiding u.s. policy -- there is a gap between how the u.s. justifies the use of drones and how they actually employ them. if other states follow that perceived hypocrisy gap i think that will be devastating for foreign policy interests and global security in general. >> mike i appreciate you coming on "meet the press" ander for sharing your view. >> thank you. >> when we come back the legal odd couple, they are fightin [ male announcer ] ours was the first modern airliner, revolutionary by every standard. and that became our passion. to always build something better airplanes that fly cleaner and farther on less fuel. that redefine comfort and connect the world like never before. after all, you can't turn dreams into airplanes unless your passi

but we find particularly in states that have the biggest challenges dealing with climate change states like new jersey and alaska, politically, they're in deepest denial. they have ordered that they're not allowed to say anything outside their agency without approval. >> so if on state-funded research you find what for your coastal state is a kind of smoking gun, the state, if you have a governor who's not really that interested in talking about climate change could make it disappear, go away have less impact? what happens? >> it's often said everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own set of facts. that's not true in government. politically, they can basically alter, suppress otherwise rewrite or manipulate information so that it supports a preset agenda. >> has it gone as far as people being threatened with lack of promotion, missing out on raises, not getting assignments that they're vying for, that kind of more direct and hard-knuckled retaliation? >> sure. but even more than that people are losing their jobs. in florida, for example, a number of the people who wor

the state department has given a report to obama recommending that cuba be removed from the state department list of terrorist states, that cuba does not fit the criteria to be on that list. this is a prerequisite, and for normal relations that's the first hurdle to clear and i believe that obstacle is going to be gone before the end of this weekend. then there's the issue of simply opening the embassies, perhaps secretary of state john kerry will actually go to havana to naught the new u.s. embassy there, that will be the big step forward in our relations and then there's a series of u.s. laws and programs, that have to be changed. u.s.a.i.d. programs, regime change programs against cuba and you can't have normal relations with a country that you are basically trying overthrow. so those have to change as well. but you know there's momentum right now ray and the summit is a big part of that and all eyes are on the u.s. cuban relationship this weekend in panama city. >> one of the closest relationships that cuba has had in the region is venezuela. and it's interest being that the united state

least the political power structure of the state. in the light of this, it seems to me that it will be necessary to continue to demonstrate until these conditions are removed. we don't believe in demonstrating for demonstration's sake. we don't have demonstration fever, but we do feel that as long as the conditions of injustice and man's inhumanity to man infiltrate that state, it will be necessary to demonstrate in order to bring these issues to the surface and lay them squarely before the conscience of the nation. mr. spivak: then as i understand it, dr. king, you see no end to demonstrations at the present, either in alabama or other sections of the country. dr. king: no, i don't. i don't believe in the indiscriminate use of demonstrations, but i think as long as we have the problems with us, we are going to have demonstrations, and i think in the immediate, we must face the fact that alabama has not come to terms with its conscience. too many people of goodwill and i do feel that there are many white people of goodwill and very d

the size of the state. if you are having an argument about whether small states deserve to be overrepresented just because they are small, madison's argument would be small states do not represent -- deserve representation per se because size is not correlated with their interests. you are just going to give them in a to benefit -- give them an extra benefit. the exception is when you are operating on laws where you do not know what your social position will be later. if you are voting on rules for voting and you know what your interests star, of course -- what your interests are, of course, you have the incentive. luther martin was moot. size does not affect our opinions. suppose you are a big second amendment guy. someone taking a gun into walmart so she could be killed by a two-year-old. let's look at the strong second amendment person. you really believe in hunter's rights. does it matter if you live in what is called the venison belt, working-class guys who like to go out with their rifles on the weeke

issues that are front and center in my home state of california. her work in this area shows she understands local and international criminal organizations. so there are four specific cases that i will leave in my remarks for the record that i believe document this very specifically. she's also made combating human trafficking a priority. over the last decade, her office's anti-trafficking program has indicted more than 55 defendants in sex trafficking cases and rescued more than 110 victims of sex trafficking including more than 20 minors. simply put, loretta lynch has been on the front lines in investigating and prosecuting a range of perpetrators, and i believe she will continue that work as attorney general. i would be remiss if i didn't express my extreme disappointment in the delay over ms. lynch's confirmation. we have before us a nominee with impeccable credentials to serve as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. and during her confirmation, senator leahy and -- i think you were there, mr. president -- asked a panel of witnesses who

668 cases in 27 states last year. that is the most in the century. >> if you think about it on a global scale we're a very small problem. i mean even with our larger outbreaks recently, global scale these are very small outbreaks. so the global effort is really the focus. >> reporter: measles is still common in many parts of the world and doctors say most who contract the virus in the united states are not vaccinated. >> small outbreaks here but plane right away, could create havoc in a system where one is not vaccinated. >> that is a bigger problem. >> now that the outbreak is over legislative efforts continue in several states including california, to stop so-called anti-vaxers. >> has disneyland or disney world come to you to say what can we do to make sure this doesn't happen again? >> i think those efforts are actually happening at the state level. so we would just encourage what we say for anyplace that would have lots of workers lots of possible exposure to foreign travelers, is that everybody be up to date on

some states did not experience a shortfall. one of the states that did not was washington state. the money was paid in, it was adjusted over time, various adjustments negotiated with the unions, and in 2000 there was 100% coverage of the pensions. when the crisis hit all but two very old pension plans were funded at 100% and they were barely under 100%. the argument as to these other causes to talk about was political mismanagement, politicians who were siphoning off funds. that is the primary story. public-sector unions do not control that. the politicians have to make the decisions. ross reynolds: you are out of time. five minutes to respond. professor disalvo: i am glad michael responded, and i will take them in order. public employee unions, not that they are good, it is that they are not doing harm, which is to say they did not consider it to deficits during the recession, and i cite in the book a study arguing that, that they are not responsible for the pension underfunding. i cite another book. if i wanted to make michael's case stronger, that is, the no harm case, i would

and for them normal state-to-state relations are a benefit and not something to be avoided. the attitude in the community has moved now so that a majority of cuban-americans favor normal diplomatic relations, end to the embargo and lifting of all travel restrictions. for a long time that didn't manifest itself in votes and the reason is simple. those ex i wills who came in the 1960's, 1970's they are naturalized citizens and registered to vote. people who have come since 1990, only 30% of them are naturalized citizens. many of them are not registered to vote and low rates of turnout. even though this new group constitutes a larger segment of the community than the old guard, there are only 15% of the cuban-american electorate and opposed to the old guard, which is about 49%. the rest h.r. -- the rest are children. and have moderate views than their parents and grandparents. and this was seen in obama's 2008 election and carried the record, matched by bill clinton who ran his re-election campaign. so he ran a hard line policy towards cuba. in 2012, president obama won half th

we've had hundreds of state police on the ground and every single state agency and local agency out of the cooperation already for the entire week. i've been in daily communication with the mayor and others in the city and our entire team has been involved from day one. frankly, this is a baltimore city situation. baltimore city was in charge. when the mayor called me which quite frankly we were glad she finally did, instantly we signed the executive order. we already had our entire team prepared, and in fact i had already called general sigh earlier in the day and to be prepared to call up. we were in the second floor of the statehouse in constant communication and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time. she finally made that call and we immediately took action. >> reporter: governor do you think you should have gotten involved earlier and acted earlier? >> i know the city has done everything in their power to get it under control. i don't want to question what they're doing. they're all under tremendous stress. we're all here on one team. i want to thank th

that's what's needed in this state. that's what's needed in states all across this country. and i'm optimistic that can be done in a bipartisan way where democrats and republicans can come together and do the right thing by their constituents. >> thank you guys all for your time. >> thank you alex. >> thank you. >>> after the break, the de facto president of the tech world, tim cook is a vocal critic of indiana's religious freedom law. jeb bush is an active supporter of it. >>> plus who has the most leverage in the remaining hours of the iranian nuke talks? >>> and jerry brown just did something that no california governor has ever done. i'll tell you what it is next on "now." plane and thought... yeah! empty seat next to me. and then i saw him slowly coming down the aisle. one of those guys who just can't stop talking. i was downloading a movie. i was trying to download a movie. i have verizon. i don't. i get that little spinning wheel. download didn't finish. i finished the download. headphones on. and i'm safe. i didn't finish in time. so. many. stories. vo: join us and s

the department of state's fact sheet on the perimeters of the agreement states all past u.n. security council resolutions on iran nuclear issues will be lifted simultaneous with the completion by iran of nuclear-related actions addressing all key concerns. the lifting of all u.n. security council resolutions will lead to iran's nuclear program strikes me as quite a concession. i have questions such as what is the rationale for the immediate removal of such resolutions can you clarify the timing of the removal of sanctions exactly what obligations must iran meet under the agreement, does the promise to remove u.n. resolutions include the u.n. security council resolution that covers the sale and/or transfer of conventional arms and ballistic missiles technology? if so, how can we credibly assure our allies in the region -- have not been dismissed. >> thank you, madame chairwoman. there's a lot there so let me try to take a number of those issues in turn. first, let me stress a point i made in my opening statement which is how central the u.n. security council has been to reinfo

the militia dominates the state and threatens state institutions. we won't let it happen on our doorstep in yemen. >> these -- i'll just read them out. you're good on remembering them and answer them as you will. >> all right. >> does it matter, one way or the other, if the united states lists the houthis groups in yemen under the designation of it being a terrorist organization? as much as saudi arabia has designated of late various groups as terrorist organizations, is this among the options that saudi arabia has under consideration? might it rule it out, or what can be the implications either way if you did or did not. that's one. second one, your view of aiden. in the late 1950s, used to be the world's largest port in terms of ships there. things have moved on since then. there's salala, oman near the east-west shipping routes. there is jazan and other places that you're developing along the red sea. and dukon in eastern oman is a story yet to be known and told. that's one question. i'll let you think about it, about how this strategic geo geoec

lynch to be the attorney general of the united states of america. that office is a part of the president's cabinet but it also is an office that is the chief law officer for america and it the top official in our government is required to adhere to the law, even to the point of telling the president "no" if he gets it in his head, as presidents sometimes do, to do something that violates the law. -- as corporate lawyers do for the c.e.o. of corporations. mr. president, you can't do this. this is wrong. don't do this. and at some point attorney generals have been none to resign before they would carry out policies that violate the law. so we are deeply concerned in this country about the president's executive amnesty the unlawfulness of it, the breadth of it the arrogance of it to the point that it's a direct assault on congressional power and legitimacy direct attack on laws passed by the peoples' representatives and we've got a big problem. ms. lynch has said, flat-out, that she supports those policies and is committed to defending them in court ag
