court interested in protecting real constitutional rights and not imaginary. shannon: they are going to be a number of these legal battles where the states do things that are challenged in court. whether it s conservative or liberal era defense matters in virginia is being looked at as this battleground area, guns, abortion. from the governor on down, it s now blue and they have a lot of opportunity. i think this would be an uphill battle for the e.r.a. and if you actually look at some of the things that women can possibly lose, there are some unintended consequences. women absolutely deserve all the rights that men have, but when you look at the federal courts they can start to revaluate some of the laws and say, when a woman gets a divorce and a woman gets alimony, does more money go to the man? you look at child support, the same argument. the intentions are really good and really strong, that i think
the. the president trump has met with shinds o abe a dozen times. and countless phone calls. why has abe put so much effort into this relationship. well prime minister abe has put u.s. japanese recommendations, the alliance there as a center piece of his agenda, ana. you re right, abe was the first foreign leader to visit the president after his election. they ve spoken. the two leaders have spoken more than 40 times. in fact president trump has spoken to abe more than any other foreign leader. so for prime minister abe it s all about defense, given its close location next to china and north korea. it views the alliance with the united states as very important on defense matters. and of course there is this issue of trade. and the president has made clear that he wants to move down the barriers on agriculture for u.s. agriculture products. and for prime minister abe the focus is on auto tariffs and the threat from president trump to
