Our sunday panel weighs in, and our power player of the week, taking you inside the white house like never before. Can drag around to see the entire state dining room. Up on the ceiling, look at the chandelier. All right now on Fox News Sunday. Hello again from fox news in washington. A Health Care Worker at the dallas hospital that treated the ebola patient who died, has now tested positive for the virus, but that preliminary test will now be checked by the centers for Disease Control in atlanta. Lets get the latest on this and rampedup screening at u. S. Airports from fox news correspondent leon vitter. Leland . Theres still a lot of questions to be answer ed including how this worker came into contact with the patient and how those officials in dallas say they were ready for this. This Health Care Worker had been until the selfmonitoring regimen prescribed by the cdc. The entire process from the patientsself monitoring to the admission into isolation took less than 90 minutes. The patients condition is stable. The patient reported a lowgrade fever friday night, isolated and tested. This will be the first case of ebola treated from start to finish in the United States, which could give doctors insight, where records show that they badly bungled the first case. Thomas eric duncan had arrived in the United States without a fever, but with ebola. The Associated Press reports that he went to the emergency room in dallas with a high fever of 103. Despite that, doctors sent him home a few hours later. On the 28th, he returned in far worse shape. Soon official put family and friends of the liberian man in isolation for fear they contracted the virus as well. Now, 15 days into the 21 days of possible incubation, other than the Health Care Worker, no one has reported a fever or other symptoms, but the fear remains that the 150 or so travelers arriving daily to the United States from the hot zone in west africa could also be infected with ebola. Pictures provided by customs and Border Protection show their officers wearing protective gear while checking the temperature of and interviewing those arriving from the hot zone in west africa. By later this week, about 140 passengers a day will get checked at the five gateway airports equipped with screeners and quarantine rooms. In dallas right now they are not only trying to treat this Health Care Worker, but also isolate those the person had contact with and try to stop any more infections. Chris . Leland, thank you. When this week began samesex marriage was legal in 19 states. Now because of the Supreme Courts decision not to review the ruling of several appeals court. Samesex marriage may soon be legal in 25 states. We want to drill down into the merits with two top advocate leading conservative ted olson represented the plaintiffs in the virginia case, and is coauthor of redreaming the dream, the case for Marriage Equality. Tony perkins is president of the Family Research council. Gentlemen, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Mr. Olson, why do you think the Supreme Court decided not to intervene in these cases, and can we take from that theres now a majority in the court who feels there is a constitutional right to samesex marriage . No one knows what goes on in the United States Supreme Court when theyre deciding to take a case or how they decide the case, but what the Supreme Court was looking at on monday when it rendered its decision not to review these pending cases is a record of Something Like 25 federal judges at the District Court and at the appeal level which had consistently ruled that same sex marriage bans were unconstitutional. I think the justices saul an overwhelming trend in the same direction and said thought that the federal courts were handling this issue in an appropriate and proper way and decided not to weigh in. Mr. Perkins let me go a little further than ted olson, because he has to argue before the court, if the majority felt there was no constitutional right actually it takes a minoritity to review a case why would they make a nonruling in this case that would allow thousands more to have samesex marriage. Ted is the expert on the you still have i think the effect here is what we need a back alley type roe v. Wade decision by letting the lower courts do their evil bidding. Go back to 1973 when the court imposed abortion on the nation, it was to resolve the issue 41 later. That issue is now a political issue in every election from the president on down. This issue is not going away despite what the court may say. I have to allow you to responsible back alley roe v. Wade . I think the anotions is to the decision that struck down bans on interrachelle marriage. We now understand that was a right decision and right for america. Over 59 of americans now believe that Marriage Equality should be the law of the land, individuals should be allowed to get married to the person that they love. The individuals involved in these cases have been together for decades. They now want to be a part of the community, and be part of our society by marrying and living with the people that they love. Let me pick up on one of the central concerns that people have about all of this. In all 16 of the states that because of the Supreme Courts nondecision, may not have say legal samesex marriage, there was a ban either approved by the state legislature or poplar referendum. Mr. Olson, you have a long record of opposing what you call or what people call judicial activism. Here is what senator ted cruz said this week. Take a look. We shouldnt have unelected judges striking down our marriage laws, trying to impose their Public Policy notion on the state of texas and on states where the elected legislatures have made the decision to preserve and protect traditional marriage. Question why should judges overrule the demonstrated will of the people either through referendum or through state legislature action. We have a constitution and bill of rights precisely because we want protections from majority rule. When the majority in a legislature or a popular vote take away rites of individuals protected by the bill of rights, then we have an independent judiciary to rectify that situation. Its happened again and again and again throughout this countrys history. We have an independent judiciary to protect individuals like gay and lesbian citizens who only want respect, decency and equality along with the rest of us. Mr. Perkins, let me go back to the case where there were bans on interracial marriages. The Supreme Court simply ruled those bans were unconstitutional apples and oranges. Mr. Olson says and its an argument, we dont get to vote on the bill of rights. Why is it apples and oranges . Because were talking about an arbitrary boundary created by man between the races. That doesnt exist in nature. Theres nothing in nature to say thats normal. But to go back, this is unprecedented. Voters in two thirds of the states have affirmatively gone out to protect of definition of marriage. This is the only time in a period of two decades where voters and have affirmatively embraced the definition, and now you have the courts overturning that, robbing the people of their vote and their vote. What we see here, i believe, is that the court has lit a fuse to a powder keg culturally that will have ramifications for years to come in this nation. Lets talk about the merits of this. Obviously different people have different views. What is your single, strongest argument against allows samesex marriage. I would like to ask ted, what is the purpose of marriage . The purpose of marriage is what the Supreme Court has said 14 times. Its a fundamental right that involves privacy, association, liberty, and being with the person you love and forming a part of the community and being treated equally with the rest of society. If you look at people under the age of 30, youre talking about a powder keg . People under the age of 30, like 80 of people agree well, that is true. Wait a minute. You answered his question. Now whats your answer to him . First off, marriage is not to affirm adults, its for the protection of children. If love is the only factor, where you do you draw the boundary . What the Supreme Court said in the cases that it decided last year involving the defense of marriage case, striking that down, is that children do matter. There are thousands and tens of thousands of children in samesex house holds. They deserve the same respect and decency to that others have. We know children do best with a mom and dad. Thats why the policies have preferred marriage and given benefits to it. If love is the factor, what boundaries are there . You want the sky to fall because two People Living next door to you what court after court after court has said, that allowing people of the same sex to marry the person they love, to be part of the community and be treated equally, does no damage to heterosexual marriage, and court after court after court has said children living in a samesex relationship do as well or better than people in other communities. The court doesnt study this social let me ask you, what are the boundaries, though . If its just love, what are the boundaries . What are you suggesting . Polygamy, people will be marrying their pets . I didnt say that. If we remove the natural established boundaries for marriage, the union of a man and woman, we have removed those boundaries thor guardrails. Theres no arbitrary boundary. You and your wife live happily in this house, theres a samesex couple living here. Whats the damage to you . Lets talk about that. Lets talk about the wedding vendors that have been put out of business. Im not talking about that. Thats a different issue. No, its its a difficult issue. Im asking you whats the impact on you on and your family. Nigh whirn all of a sudden in school are taught values and morals that contradict what i teach as a parent at home. Thats happening already across the country in those states that have recognized and forced samesex marriage on the states. Lets talk about aaron and melissa klein, a bakery in oregon, forced out of business, forced to pay 450,000 in fines, simply because they didnt want to participate in a samesex marriage. Well get to that in a seconds, but the argument that this damages of perkins next to them . Everyone who has talked about this says theres no couple that will decide to get divorced or not to get married or not to rain children just because the cup 8 next to them is treated equally and with respect and decency under our constitution. That is why we have courts. The same argument mr. Perkins was made was made with respect to interracial marriages in 1967. 30 some states at one point prohibited interracial marriages. Talk about the color of the skin . People were making the same arguments. Marriage is wrong with people of different races. We have to stop that. When the Supreme Court finally acted, 16 states were still prohibiting interrachelle marriages. As far as the marriage vendors, the people in the flower business or in the in the cake business or whatever it happens to be, we have a civil rights law that is say if youre going to engage in commerce youre not going to discriminate against people on the basis of their religion, sex or race. Thats a simple solution to the problem. Massachusetts driving them out of business . Massachusetts allowed samesex marriage ten years ago. Nobody has been put out of marriage its a canard. Im going to give you the final word. In your answer id like you to talk about what role you think this will play in the 2016 president ial battle. Look adoption agencies have been put out of the business in massachusetts, parents have been denied the right to determine the values their children are taught. It affects families, all americans and its wrong for the court to take away the voice of the people. I think its an issue in 2016. Like roe v. Wade, the court wanted it to go amp as an issue, this issue will remain if they dont deal with it. Thank you both. We will stay on top of this issue both in and out of the courts. Thank you, chris. Thank you. Up next the president s war plans to face isis faces early setbacks. Plus what would you like to ask the panel about the obama strategy .

Um well, state Department Spokeswoman jen saki struggling for more than 40 seconds to come up with successes of the iraqi army against isis. Brit hume fox news political analyst. Amy walter from the cook political report. Carly fiorina, former ceo of hewlettpackard, and bot westboundward of the washington post. While she may have trouble, because the iraqe army hasnt had many successes. Isis is continuing the march through Anbar Province all the way to the infamous town of abu ghraib, which is in baghdads western sububs. Meanwhile, brit, so as far as the Obama Administration has failed so far to is it equip or train the this assumed dubious that it could ever accomplish its goal of defeating, destroying isis. It looked like it was designed more to contain isis, especially in iraq. Now it looks like it may not succeed in doing that. At least the airpower alone is failing to do that. You can see the advances continue. Obviously its hindered to some extent by the air strikes which are not massive. Theyre in fact minimal it may be because they dont have the knowledge to be able to target effectively for a larger more robust campaign, but so far this is going badly, even if the goal were meanly to contain isis in iraq. By friday the state department was doing a better job of describing the successes, but not much better. The Security Forces are strong, theyre under constant assessment. The Embassy Remains okay. We continue to conduct bit. Is that what its come to, that the embassy is open and it is a success . This is a mess, and its the countrys mess, which country . Ours . Everywhere. The whole world. Obama has to come up with something that will work here. A mighty ambitious goal and were going to see. I think the big question is, can you know, the war power is a shared power between the executive and the congress, and can the president and the congress get together and say, okay, this is how were going to do it . This is going to be the strategy . If that could be done, were in for a calamity. Then there is the battle in syria, which is centered around the town of cobkhobani on the border from syria and turkey. The turkish army refuses to intervene. Even our allies among the Syrian Rebels are turning against the refusal to go after the assad regime. Carly, were seeing in syria what happens when you dont have any Ground Forces as a partner. The Syrian Rebels are not able to fight and the turks refuse to intervene. Were also seeing in syria that weve never had a strategy. For several years president obama would say Bashar Al Assad has to go, but he clearly doesnt believe that. I think our inconsistency is inexplicable there now. Why not set up a buffer zone . Why not ard of kurds . Why not establish a nofly zone . Why not reach an agreement with the it you recollects about what needs to be done in syria . Its simply theres no explanation for it. Meanwhile, meanwhile, things continue to go from bad to worse. Are you saying that we should at this late dealt intervene . If we set up a buffer zone, were taking sides get the assad regime. Gee, did he not mean that . Do we not think hes a tyrant who has to go . Thats where i think this is all falling apart. There clearly has been a pattern of inconsistency here. Yes, we need to defeat isis. Yes, if Bashar Al Arad sad is under pressure as a result of our strategy to do so, issant that good . Isnt that what obama told you needs to happened . We got several questions like they on facebook. David man
