The mother and the father. Remember, in the trial below the experts on the plaintiffs side conceded there are differences between mothering and fathering, there are different benefits for each one. Judge daughtrey what is the rational basis for excluding everybody else . I mean, it doesnt cut down on the procreation of children, interfere with the pro creation of children just because you got two people of the samesex marrying and in some of those marriages, one of them, one of the partners is able to procreate. Aaron linstrom first i have to point out that the rational basis with a different view, that is flipping the question. The robison case lays this out very clearly by the United States Supreme Court where it points out that the question for rational basis for view is whether the state interest that is being put forward, if its being vabsed by including a first group and by including a second group that does not advance that interest is not irrational, it does not extend benefits
Good evening. Im jim sciutto. Im in for erin burnett. Outfront tonight, donald trump staying silent. He canceled an appearance tonight as he faces a firestorm over his criticism to correct a supporter who questioned president obamas own faith. Marco rubio is speaking now. Most of the gop candidates expected to take the stage there at the Heritage Action Political Forum tonight. Trump, however, saying at the last minute he had, quote, a significant business transaction to handle. Trump isnt the only one who is remaining silent. In fact, almost all of the other candidates have failed to condemn the remarks. A few, though, did take the opportunity to pounce on the gop frontrunner. Somebody at one of my town Hall Meetings said Something Like that, i would correct them and say the president is a christian and he was born in this country. He should have, from the beginning, repudiated that level of receipt for rec and hatefulness. That is in response to this moment that we brought you last n
Toronta. What difference without kennedy . He was the most heterodox, has strong views on subjects but they dont always line up with the traditional liberal conservative, very much in favor of gay rights, free speech, whether liberal or conservative free speech and he was sometimes wild card. Most likely new justice will be line up with the other four republican. Paul that could be the case, dan, its interesting, if you look at First Amendment Juris Prudence, kennedy was very strong, wrote the Citizens United decision, for example, on Campaign Finance and free speech and theres no guaranty that his replacement even if socalled conservative is going to be as strong on First Amendment or even on state rights. Well, thats right. All of these nominees in Supreme Court, intelligent person have their own mind, they are able to identify whether they will vote most of the time with conservatives or the liberals but theres no real predicting and a lot of the issues have been in play, i think, t
For illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law. And attorney general Jeff Sessions says zero tolerance, he had an announcement, thats his zero tolerance this spring that the government will pcute all lawful immigrants as criminals, set up a situation in which children are removed when their parents are taken into federal custody. A policy he reinforced himself last week. If you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. Its that simple. If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you. And that child may be separated from you as required by law. Yes, we are pursuing a zero tolerance prosecution policy at the border. Having children does not give you immunity from arrest and prosecution. Bringing children with you doesnt guarantee you wont get prosecuted. Count on it.
