It is great news the Supreme Court will take up the issue. Stephanie i thought you meant because you were considering my proposal. Whatever. Let dee in the news. Bring me the bling. Well talk about it. Just saying. I can be bought. President obama travels to redford, michigan, today to speak at daimler detroit diesel. The company is expected to announce a 100 million plus investment that would expand u. S. Production and jobs and also help them develop new technology. Detroit deals has 2300 employees and it makes engines rear axles and transmissions. Daimler is expected to say its Truck Division will be the first heavy duty vehicle maker in the u. S. To make all of the parts in one place. That means that the design process can end up being more efficient and the parts end up being more effective. President obamas trip to michigan comes at the same time that right to work legislation is teed up to be signed into law this week. The republican state house and senate jammed through the legislation last week and governor Rick Schneider who is also a republican, is likely to sign it tomorrow. Labor Union Leaders say theyve been told the president will address the right to work fight in todays speech in michigan. In a Statement Released last thursday, a white house spokesman said that president obama has been opposed to right to work laws for a very long time. And that the strength of autoworkers in michigan is proof of how the unions help to build the economy and strengthen the middle class. Right to work laws make it illegal for unions to automatically deduct dues from payrolls and people who support the law say that workers shouldnt have to be part of a union if they dont want to. But what really happens is nonunion Workers Benefit from a unionized workplace without having to financially contribute. Ultimately, the laws end up cutting into union financing and weakening their bargaining power. Were back with more steph after the break.

Are you nervous . Are you happy . Im sure he loves hearing from you. [ laughter ] stephanie he hasnt call blocked me yet. He will be on the show today. In hour number three. Well also have chris perry and sandy steer the proponents in the prop 8 case. Yep. Stephanie it really is i was getting the calls all weekend. Because people think i know, for some reason, remember like during the election, people would grab your lapels at a party and say whats going to happen what do the polls really mean . Is there someone i can read that will make me feel better like nate silver did . The answer anyway, the reiners and the chris perries, they were both elated and very optimistic. I know, you know, they obviously would know more than most people i know. Other people nervous because theyre like it has come down to one guy. One guy. I was reading an analysis by an actual lawyer. Stephanie oh, well, look at you. He said that the way that the justices were asking the questions, kind of pointed to something that might be positive for stephanie thats what chris perry said to me. Well talk to her and her lovely hopefully future wife in the next hour. She was saying i dont think they would have taken it to move us backwards. Thats not historically what they do. Heres the thing im becoming the like the romney supporters in fox news, i cant read the stuff that doesnt support my view because whenever i read something from the from nom stephanie then im like what . Oh no is that what it means . They were described on their side. Why . Why are they . Nom doesnt know what theyre talking about. Stephanie they got their ass handed to them yesterday. Theyre saying oh, it means theyre signaling theyre going to strike is it down because the exact opposite of what you just said. Right. Yes. According to my goat entrails stephanie jim, ill listen to anything. They disagree with the tea leaves and my shaman but my numerologist. Stephanie numbers look good. He always says that. Try to predict what theyre going to do. Trying to predict what scottous is going to do is a bad thing. Stephanie look at healthcare. Olson thinks it wont be 54. There are so many arguments here whether it is states rights. There are so many different ways to look at that time and so many different ways the ruling could be narrow and just california. Sure. Stephanie i know some people are disappointed because if they would not taken it, marriage would be legal today but i still would not have time to turn Jacki Schechner gay and trick her into marrying me. Im personally happy. I dont think theres enough chardonnay in the world to turn stephanie for me. No, for her chardonnay and roofies. [ laughter ] breakfast of champions. Stephanie because usually to is all about me. If i had someone to be marry, i would be mad. Lets give you the fun facts. Im going to read the ones that make me feel better. Okay. Stephanie is there a Marriage Equality dick morris . The paragraph that you like. Stephanie exactly. Right. I like my my happy clappy. There has to be a dissenting view in there somewhere. Stephanie i didnt highlight that. Stephanie Louise Miller stephanie theres lot of stuff. I know. Every time im like whatever organization has family in the name, im like gak oh no, what . Why do they sound so happy . Okay. This is l. A. Times because youre right. Everybody has a different analysis. One on huff post, adam winkler reiners told me to read. A lot of different issues, a lot of interesting first of all we were saying doma seems to me like a slam dunk. Im not as worried about it. I dont think legal scholars are as worried about it as prop 8. Why are you giving me that blank stare . I really havent read it. Stephanie where did you go to law school . I took a law class in college. We had to do briefs. Stephanie michael chairman in the l. A. Times, he said for the court to uphold doma in 2013 would be surprising. Some sponsors of that law enacted 1996 defended it in blatantly moment faux mobic terms. Thats our favorite game, being gay is just like being an alcoholic. Stephanie fill in the blank. A gay alcoholic. Oh, my god. Believe me yes, you can. [ laughter ] stephanie dont be so judgmental. Supreme Court Precedent forbids statutes to be rooted in animus or prejudice like doma was. Justices arent indifferent to public sentiment. Thats the other reason people are thinking it is because of what happened at the ballot box. Theyre looking at the same polling we are. This is what happens with social issues. Okay. It was weird, by the way watching lincoln not that long ago. All of the arguments they were making for slavery using the bible. Right. All right. Stephanie sorry. There was nothing like that in skyfall which i saw over the weekend. Stephanie you are useless. Recent Public OpinionShows Americans no longer support doma. One 12 poll revealed americans favored by 51 to 34 . Anyway so then basically theyre saying what everybody is saying predicting how prop 8 is going to come out however, is tougher. Blah, blah blah, we clearly established right to samesex marriage is harder. For starters, it is likely to divide 54 as everybody is saying as they do on every important constitutional issue. On most other issues, Justice Anthony kennedy probably the most powerful justice is likely to determine the outcome. This is like the guessing game as to what is kennedy going to do. Because he had obviously the things everybody talks about two really favorable gay rights rulings then he has other legal views that might conflict with this. Do we have his cell phone number . Could i give him a call . Sure. Stephanie what you thinking about . What you doing . Why are you so distant . You know what i started hoping over the weekend that all of the justices have a gay something. Relative friends somebody they really love that when they in their heart of hearts or maybe they are gay. [ dramatic ] stephanie what are you insinuating . Antonin scalia can be a little bit fruity. [ buzzer ] and roberts had a past. Stephanie hes a making pies and what not. Stephanie thats true. The gayest picture that picture of him fire island. Stephanie in the white sweater with the guy. With the tie. Tie tied around [ dramatic ] ma that i be the best that may be the best thing we have. That picture of john roberts. Tony roberts. Stephanie i personally have never seen a straight man with a sweater tied around his neck. In the 70s in the 80s when the preppy thing was going on. Pretending you played tennis and wore the sweater like that. Stephanie this is like the worst legal analysis. On anywhere. May i suggest that people dont come to the the Stephanie Miller show it is just as responsible as people who have the fancy scholars on. I support the marsupials act. They have a right to live in whatever tree they choose to. Stephanie speaking of scalia, he remains a disgrace on a couple of the gay rights rulings, he accused kennedy of promoting the homosexual agenda. Okay. So language in some kennedy opinions suggests the historical legacy. Handwriting is on the wall for Marriage Equality. It is crystal clear. Support among americans increased from less than 25 in 1990 30 to 35 in 2004 to more than 50 today. In addition, polls show that 70 pest of americans age 1829 support gay marriage and thats unlikely to diminish it is likely to diminish as these people age. Many state legislators explained their favor and to have their children proud when reflecting on their parents legislative record. Judges authoring spo opinions in support of gay marriage have invoked examples of courts being on the right side of history. Whats going to affect him, i dont know. In 1954, theyre saying the courts ruling in brown vs. Board of education which invalidated racial segregation in Public Schools split the nation in half. Within two decades it had become iconic. A High Court Ruling would similarly divide the nation in 2013 yet given how quickly Public Opinion is evolving within a decade or so, such a decision would be youthfully applauded. What justice would not be tempted to offer the opinion within a few short years would be known as the brown vs. Board of education of the Gay Rights Movement. [ applause ] that was from michael klahrman. Helpful paragraphs. Stephanie mostly helpful. Grasping at gay straws here. John roberts wore a sweater around his neck in fire island in 1973. [ dramatic ] 78 . Stephanie something. That picture was later. It was the 80s. The collars were too narrows. If it was the 70s, they would have been out to here. Stephanie what good does that information do for anybody . Were all very tense. All right. I will talk to some actual legal experts as we you know who we should get . Ted boutros. Golly. Stephanie junior. Who is ted olsons law partner. As far as we know has never worn a sweater like that. 17 minutes after the hour. How many go to meetings do we have over the weekend .

Glory. Ram. Youve heard me talk about one reverse mortgage for years now. And no matter where i go i get the same questions what is it . How does it work . So i thought that the best way for you to get those answers is to actually meet a client and a one reverse mortgage licensed professional. Come on. What happened when you made that call . First of all we had to clarify immediately that the house would be mine. The biggest misinterpretation out there is that people think they dont own their home and thats not the case at all. What is the difference between a reverse mortgage and a regular mortgage . Well a conventional mortgage has a required Monthly Payment. A reverse mortgage has no requirement to make a Monthly Payment as long as you continue to live in the home. What did the one reverse mortgage then do for you . Well i can meet the expenses at the end of the month with no anxiety and then i can go on trips once in a while. I can have lunch with the ladies. It changed my life. How did the process unfold . I really felt that i could trust him. I had a partner. Anything she needs. Just call me. Trust me it worked for me. [ henry ] if youre a homeowner 62 or older, call now and get your free guide and dvd. A one reverse mortgage licensed professional can answer all your questions. You can become one of these people who turned to one reverse mortgage. It helped me pay off a few of my debts that were hanging over my shoulders and i stayed in my home. I am in my house i am glad i made that call. The reverse mortgage has given us more comfort, given us a little nest egg. I would say that one reverse mortgage was onei made in my lifetimes and i am very, very pleased i made that decision. Can one reverse mortgage help you . Youll never know unless you call. Announcer Stephanie Miller. Talkin about my generation my generation stephanie it is the the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. 23 minutes after the hour. Our usuals, Eric Boehlert at the top of the hour to cohost rightwing world. Rude pundit to hour number three and rob reiner and chris perry and sandy spear the proponents in the prop 8 case. [ applause ] originally perry versus schwarzenegger. Nobody wants to defend it. More fun facts and i will get to things that are not happy clappy to give the other side. So there. Really . Stephanie you accuse me of only highlighting hopeful things. Well. Stephanie three options. They can reverse the ninth circuit uphold prop 8 therefore making it clearer the definition of marriage will be left to the discretion of each state and its voters. They could rule broadly that denying gays and lesbians the fundamental right violates the constitution. It would open the door to gay marriages nationwide or the third option, they could strike down prop 8 in a way that limits it just to california so then marriage would be legal in california. And not necessarily nationwide. All right. So heres would you like to [ world news tonight ] see, i highlighted things that didnt make me feel good. Okay. Im waiting over here to hear them. Stephanie gay marriage supporters see 40 reasons to fret. This is from the fretting coalition. Over the Supreme Courts decision to take up the case. Californias ban on same sex unions while nine states allow them to marry 41 states do not. It is too far too fast argument. Of those 30 have written gay marriage bans into their state constitutions. That is worrisome. They also know the Supreme Court does not often get too far ahead of the country on hot button issues. I cant help but be concerned said one analyst. A leader in the state by state push for Marriage Equality. And the reiners were talking to me about this.
