The president's endorsement of same sex marriage the debate that it ignited.

Should states be left alone to decide the issue that's among the questions were joined by -- -- wall.

Former prosecutor -- -- -- -- Fox News and attorney faith -- good to have you both with us -- That they -- return -- I mean.

The president yesterday put himself in exactly the same position.

On the issue of same sex marriage as Dick Cheney three years ago.

And and I it's interesting to watch the varying reactions -- -- be in the meeting here in the political parties.

The applause has not been universe.

Right I don't think he's going to pick up any -- -- any means by coming out and talking about his personal.

Decision on what he believes about -- -- marriage but I think it was important to him I think he framed it in -- -- you know or religious concept and his beliefs and why it was important for him speak out about it.

I think that you know he went further or even this morning to see that he thinks that this is a states' rights issue and he's not saying that.

I think we should pass a aloft a federal and they face a federal law they think should be a -- -- -- -- should be left up to the state supported people who -- -- this do you.

We were not -- when I think about the whole thing I think it was politically expedient for him to come out in this position Biden is the one that jumped the shark continents and kind of left Obama going what do idea now.

I think it'll help them with fund raising for very motivated and a vocal base that supports and gay rights.

I think it is what he personally believes in if -- -- so we should ascetic from the beginning.

Terms of political mileage he does need to shore up his base I think it will help him with back.

But it's also gonna hurt him in -- Key states where perhaps that could be an issue that would sway voters to to vote against ten so we'll see what happens with and he's right at the State's rights issue but on the ballot in.

But -- since -- channel -- this is a remarkable admission on on -- -- which is Justice Department has filed suit again share.

Joseph our power -- chair of the sheriff of Maricopa County this administration has filed.

Two lawsuits.

Against the state of Arizona on the issue of illegal immigration.

They have already lost one day it appears.

-- we'll -- that -- your judgment of course it appears to many.

That the Supreme Court will hand the Obama administration another loss.

Why in the world would -- not reconcile his strong view about states rights and prerogatives.

Two whether it's illegal immigration or -- Well I think you know to totally separate issues I mean in terms.

You know be immigration issue and you know they are being and that's -- -- -- discrimination.

An -- you know people doing teens in Arizona I think it's right -- -- the Department of Justice to move and any question that -- value -- be the authority there to see what's going on -- if this is indeed happening.

I think that's totally appropriate and that's what that's what they should be dealing.

I think -- micromanaging I think -- a -- alone vet and political vendetta against sheriff Joseph Arpaio who's actually been very successful in terms of his.

Law enforcement say the procedures of what he's been able to do there.

He is not going to back down comments not for a minute I can see this going all the way.

In terms -- that the case he Agnes satellite and he's not gonna allow them to have somebody telling him what to do micro managing him as a check.

Had they connected they -- this key -- that's not the way he runs wait let me important things the basic Kimberly was on big really need to -- training police officer spying.

Profiling.

And racial profiling things like that you and I both working prosecutor's office is frank and you know that if police officers are not trained.

There is -- there's a widespread abuse obtaining authority that they have to stop -- -- I don't have that night there's widespread -- -- different.

What we're at the abuse potential -- still empirical and proved correct over so the evidence.

And the evidence sharper -- per share.

Ohio today said the Justice Department refused to present any evidence term and he's departed to be in -- -- triple last rooms articles.

To be simply anecdotal we'll find out more they continue what has been a two year room.

It would either crusader energy from against the state of Arizona sheriff Arpaio persecution but I'm very much.
