we're seeing that both in pennsylvania as well. we're moving in the courts with both the aclu and the challenges to the marriages we've seen in montgomery county and soon in mayor fedorman's area. we're moving in the legislature. the day after i was prohibited from speaking on the house floor, i joned with representative mccarter and we introduced a marriage equality bill in pennsylvania. there's a lot of movement but we have a long way to go in the commonwealth. i'm hopeful we'll see a new governor in office. i'm hoping that there's a number of challengers, i'm supporting allyson schwartz who i know is supportive of relationship recognition and lgbt marriage equality. >> mr. fetterman, do you think pennsylvania will change in the next five years? >> oh, i do. i think pennsylvania will change much sooner than that. i've been just uniformly encouraged by the feedback i've gotten. i've got well over 100 e-mails in support and 2 against, actually. and not one single negative public comment while i'm out, including at community day. br

was this one, the three-mile disaster in pennsylvania. even though andrea spent years reporting in nearby philadelphia, even though she was on the energy beat for nbc news, when three-mile island happened andrea mitchell was kept back in d.c. she was not allowed to cover it because she was a woman. andrea sat down with rachel recently to discuss that particular experience. >> during the first week of the emergency, the bureau chief in washington was sending all of the men to three-mile island. and the only two women in the bureau had not been sent. and so finally we -- friday night came and we marched into his office. and we said why is it that we're the only two correspondents that have not been sent. and the bureau chief said because you're women of child bearing age, and we don't know how bad the radiation is. and i said has it occurred to you make men's balls are as vulnerable as women's ovaries? and this was back in the '70s when nobody talked that way. >> and his response was? >> i got sent the next day. >> i mean, sure enough there

so they laid the groundwork for what became the university of pennsylvania. now, franklin's efforts on behalf of the university of pennsylvania in respects should be seen as a smashing success. it's one of the great institutions in this country. however, in franklin's mind it was a complete failure. why was that? franklin and the junta raised money, proposed that -- outlined a potential curriculum, developed a marking plan, secly, raised the money, and the main thrust of their argument at appeal is we are going to focus on practical knowledge; surveying, mathematics, engineering. latin and greek, we'll put them to one side. however, when the elite of philadelphia managed to take over the board of trustees, they overrode all of these plans. and so the english curriculum or the english school, as it was called, was given second position and eventually almost phased out. and to his very dying day, franklin was extremely bitter about the way this program had been hijacked by what he called a cabal of the providences leading gentlemen. so here we have a love hi an

just like in pennsylvania, i think in pennsylvania right now they're claiming that something like 600,000 people don't have photo id, right? they made that exact same claim in a lawsuit filed against the georgia photo id law. well, georgia keeps stats on the people who go to get a free photo id because they don't already have one x the number of people -- and the number of people who get an id out of the six million registered voters amounts to like a couple of hundred a year. and it's because all of you know, you cannot function in our society today without a photo id. almost everybody's got one, and anybody who doesn't can easily get the free one that every state provides. yeah. i'm sorry, that's your job. >> no, that's all right. beat me to it. >> hi, my name's emily daniels, i'm from bush por began in indiana, so i know all about that first case you're talking about -- >> i'm sure, had anybody else in this room heard about the case? >> it was on fox once or twice. >> yeah, hardly any. if that had been the bush campaign that had done that, it would have been front page news. >> so unfo

he's john fedderman, mayor of braddock, pennsylvania. h he married a couple that have been together for the past 11 years. they had to travel across the state to get a marriage license. then they married days later. mayor fedderman joins me now. explain if pennsylvania has a ban and marriage equality isn't legal there, explain your decision to perform this wedding ceremony and how sit legally valid? >> well, it's an act of civil disobedience where the message for me is tear down this law. grant all pennsylvanians the right to enjoy marriage equality in the state. the legality of it doesn't concern me. i think it's the mess sage it sends. pennsylvania is at a place where we need to remove this from our constitution. >> you bring up governor tom corbitt. he's chosen to defend the law though the state attorney general believes it is unconstitutional. the aclu is challenging the law. with public opinion in favor of marriage equality do you think pennsylvania will soon join other states in legalizing it? after this example of civil disobedien

the montgomery county in pennsylvania is marrying people contrary to the laws of pennsylvania. would this change what the anti-legalization forces have to do now? >> i think it's very important and the people that are opposed to redefining the core institution of marriage are going to continue to fight. justice kennedy's opinion in the defense of marriage act case rests heavily on the fact that states are the primary determines of marriage policy in our country. so it's a little odd for somebody in pennsylvania to say i'm going to use that decision to undercut the policy of pennsylvania with respect to marriage. now there are other parts of judge kennedy's opinion that are very flowery language that have equal protection type aspect to them but justice kennedy doesn't settle that. section two of the defense of marriage act is still in place and that says no state has to recognize marriages performed in other states if it runs counter to the basic policy judgment of the state. so the pennsylvania local registrar, i think, is wrong. we're going to face that out in litigation and

in pennsylvania, they would have had to end the contest that they would have attempted it that we at home now. that would've been only the best scenario and i do not hesitate to express the conviction that had the army then hit at gettysburg, it would have dissolved. doubtless some of the other volunteer regiments were held together and made some sort of retreat towards the susquehanna. but the others had simply deserted in much the same way that napoleon's army disintegrated after waterloo, leaving the rubble at liberty to go where and do what he pleased. that would've been the queue for the mob rule over atlantic city and thus paralyzing the whole machinery of our government. captain alfred lee fought at gettysburg and dreaded the prospect of the northern sympathizers with secession, establishing rule over the whole chain of cities, tearing up the railroads, destroying supplies, cutting off reinforcements. as it was, new york city blew up in draft riots 10 days after the battle. if robert lee had been crossing with the army of northern virginia, the susquehanna on that day, instead
