tomorrow, reverend franklin graham on issues that matters to all americans. it will all be on the table tomorrow. that's it for us tonight. now, the king of nighttime, "anderson cooper" starts right now. piers, thanks. it's 10:00 in the east coast. the answer could make history. did the supreme court just decide there's no good way of defending the defense of marriage act. and we'll take you to a landslide, where nothing is certain, not even the ground beneath your feet. new insight, new details into the mind of that man. warning signs we didn't know about then, but we certainly know tonight. we begin at the supreme court, with signs that the so-called defense of marriage act is in deep constitutional

trouble. doma is the 1996 federal law define i defining marriage as between a man and a woman. tell that to to an 86-year-old woman who braved the people toll join the fight. she was forced to pay $360,000 in inheritance tax because her marriage was not recognized. >> if what happened in 1996, and i'm going to quote from the house report here, is that congress decided to reflect in honor of collective moral judgment and to express moral disapproval of homosexuality. is that what happened in 1996? what gives the federal

government the right to be concerned that all with what the definition of marriage is. >> when it has 1100 laws which, in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power. >> as justice kennedy said, 1100 statutes and it affects every area of life. and so you would really diminish what the state has said is marriage. you're saying, no, the state, there are two kinds of marriages, the full marriage and then the sort of skim milk marriage. >> afterwards, edith windsor

said it went beautifully and her late spouse would be pleased. >> today is a spectacular event for me. i mean, a lifetime kind of event. and i know that the spirit of my late spouse is right here watching and listening and would be very proud and happy where we've come to. >> today's case came just a day after oral arguments on california's proposition eight. justices both liberal and conservative seemed reluctant to use it as the basis for sweeping national change. this case on the other hand could be just the opposite. jeffrey toobin was inside the court again today. he joins us from outside the court. so we know everything comes with the caveat that the supreme court can surprise us and is hard to predict. you say that doma is in trouble. that a majority of justices seem inclined to throw it out? why is that? >> reporter: because of what anthony kennedy said.

the four democratic members were all clearly hostile to the defense of marriage act. where were they going to get the fifth vote. anthony kennedy is the only likely possibility. but repeatedly today he expressed what appeared to be his view that the defense of marriage act violated states rights. he did not talk about, that it violated the rights of gay people. he said that it violates the states ability to regulate and create the laws of marriage. and he said it over and over again. and that is a winning argument for the defense of marriage act critics of edith windsor and company. >> john roberts was critical of how president obama is handling dome ma. they're not defending the law in court, it's still enforcing it. here's what the chief justice said, i want to play that. >> ien do the see why he doesn't have the courage of his

convictions and execute not only the statute, but do it consistent with his view of the constitution rather than saying, we'll wait until the supreme court tells us we have no choice. >> some tough words there. does the chief justice have a point. is the white house trying to have it both ways? >> the white house has approa approached this case in a very careful, one might say political manner. they don't want the to push too far, alienate too many opponents of same sex marriage. they are dumping this problem in the supreme court's lap. chief roberts was not happy about that. >> the supreme court doesn't want to be seen on the wrong side of history. the indications at least from the prop 8 arguments yesterday, are that a majority of the justices are not eager to deal with the timing of the case. what i don't get is, something to me, isn't it either constitutional or it's not? it's clearly a major issue in

this country. and the tide of a public opinion seems to be shifting and unmistakable. if someone's unconstitutional. >> this was the thing that i thought was so interesting. we talked so much about how public opinion has changed. but it was the conservatives on the court who kept raising the issue of public opinion. john roberts did it again today. he said, look, you are making all kinds of progress state by state. why do you want us to get involved? why should the supreme court get involved when this is a live political issue, you're making all kinds of progress, and, of course, the challenges to the defense of marriage act just like the challenges to proposition 8 said this is why we have a supreme court to decide what's constitutional and what's not? that was the tension that was on display both days. >> why would they not want to rule. is it just politics? is it? why wouldn't they want to

determine something that's constitutional or not? >> well, because by and large the justices -- and this is true on both sides of the ideological divide believe that it's sort of a last resort for the unelected, unaccountable supreme court to preempt the democratic branches of government. by and large, they want to let the democratic processes go forward, and they only want to step in if there's absolutely no doubt that a law violates the constitution. that rhetoric of letting the democratic process go forward is something you hear a lot in the supreme court. you heard it today, but also, you heard donald, the solicitor general say, you know, sure, the democratic process is fine, but when it violate's people's rights, this is when the justices have to step in. four justices seem quite willing to step in. the four democratic appointees. they didn't seem to have a fifth vote on that issue, but they probably had a fifth on the

issue of states rights. >> stay with us, i want to move into another issue that came up several times in the prop 8 case and also in the conception of doma. the state of the science on whether raising children in a same sex family is a good or a bad thing, or if there's not enough research yet. during yesterday's arguments. several justices and the attorney defending proposition 8, expressed doubts on the scientific consensus of the subject. justice scalia expressing doubts because of how recently the body of knowledge is. and the lawyer defending prop 8 saying there's no doubt and no study that speaks to this issue. we wanted to know, is that really the case? i want to bring in dr. drew pinsky. his show airs at 9:00 on our sister network, hln. is there harm to children? >> the data is incomplete.

they have a point. there are good studies. they have great retention rates. the same sex couples that are engaged in these studies stay in these studies for a long period of time. they want the outcomes as much as everyone else does. all the studies i've looked out does not show a difference. sometimes children were affected by homophobia, they said. they found in lesbian couples, sometimes the females, this was just one study, showed there was more same sex experimentation. but no more identification as gay amongst gay couples. overall, the only thing that stood out was the status of the relationship between the couple. were the same sex couples healthy or not? and if they were, the data looked the same as in any heterosexual couple. >> some of the opponents said there isn't enough data. >> there isn't enough.

but boy it's not trending a different direction. it's looking like -- and there's a lot of good studies out there, there's journals dedicated to this, it's incomplete. it hasn't been long enough. the jury is out, but the trend looks positive for same sex couples. >> was it justice kennedy yesterday who seemed concerned about how the justices seemed to be -- how the kids are fairing in same sex marriages? >> yeah, and he said two different things, which is not out of character for justice kennedy. at one point he said, we have these 40,000 kids. aren't they entitled to have parents who are legally recognized by the state? that seemed a very pro same sex marriage comment. today he said, we've had one kind of marriage for 2000 years and another kind of marriage for 5 or 10 years. how can we know that they are essentially equivalent when it comes to childbearing. same sex marriage is newer than cell phones or the internet. how can we know for sure that

there is no potential damage to kids. you may ask, as i certainly think the cynical among us. are they really concerned about kids or are they just looking for an excuse to maintain the discrimination against gay people? that's a question that's certainly below the surface here. >> on the face of it, this case is not about children. although, justices and courts have to be concerned about the welfare of kids. this is about whether or not couples can get married. why are the justices going beyond that in this discussion? >> reporter: because one reason marriage exists and one reason marriage has been defined as between man and woman has been that this is how the children come into the world, historically, the procreation is a big part of marriage, and the opponents of proposition 8, the supporters of same sex marriage say, gay people have children, gay people are good parents. they should not be denied the

legal status that we give to all the other parents who want to be married in the world. >> is this key -- >> health of the relationship, health of the couple. if kids need one thing, we know they need to feel safe, be sustained over time in a stable environment. if you're creating any instability. that seems rather unstable. there's some uncertainty there. that always goes against kids. it's very hard to argue -- looking at the trend being very positive, and the -- what we know about what kids need, it's a hard area to attack. we need the study, there's no doubt. we need more data, but the data is certainly not looking like we're going to see anything glaring. >> i know it's been a long day for you, jeff. thanks. this is all taking place with public opinion shifting in favor of accepting same sex marriage. the remains bashing on the

subject. the number of openly gay players in football, baseball and basketball stands at zero. >> we're behind society as a whole in the nfl locker room. the majority of americans are ready, but i think we're not here to do what's popular, or do what the majority of people think is right. >> that's brendan ayebadajo. he expects the first openly gay player will not be in the nfl but maybe in major league baseball. joining me now is chris clue we. good to have you on the program. what do you make first of all of what's happening in the court this week? >> you know, i think it's unfortunate that the supreme court is moving away from this idea of making a sweeping statement here, because they have a perfect chance to show that american citizens who pay their taxes and are being discriminated against should no

longer be discriminated against. >> twe don't see things coming down on major sports. why do you think that is? why do you think there hasn't been an openly gay player in the nfl or major league baseball? >> the window to play is so short, you don't want to risk any distraction that could keep you from keeping that job. it's very tough to make it to the professional leagues in the first place. anything that lowers that possibility, guys are going to avoid. >> i'm interested in why you're so vocal on this issue. you don't see a lot of players coming out and speaking on this issue. straight players who are taking a public stand on this. what was your evolution on this? >> well, i've always been raised to treat other people the way i would like to be treated. it's a simple philosophy.

and to me, it was the fact that people are not being treated fairly. if i am free to marry my wife and raise my children, why are other people not free to do the same thing? that's what america is founded on. the freedom to live your own life. >> how do you think a sports figure would fair if they came out and said they were gay? >> i think there would be support within the locker room. there are probably a couple guys that wouldn't get it, but that's society at large. you have to wait for them to grow old and die off. i think the players would be okay with it, the fans would probably take a little while to come around to it, at the end of the day, i think it would be fine. >> there was one potential nfl player who was recently -- came forward and said he had been asked about -- whether he dated, whether he had a girlfriend by people who were scouting him. did that surprise you?

>> it doesn't really surprise me, nfl teams are pathological in their need for information, theyen watt to make sure there's no surprises, no distractions to the team, to the chemistry, and from that standpoint, i can see why they're asking the question, that being said, the question shunts be asked, the players are in a vulnerable position. they're relying often the team to give them a job. and that gives the teams a lot of power over what they can expect from the players. so i think that's something that should be offlimits in future combines and draft processes. i think the commissioner is going to make sure that will be the case. >> what would your advice be to players who are on the verge of coming out? >> stay true to yourself and know you have allies in the league and outside of the league. there will always be people who don't get it. but more and more people are getting it. and realizing this is a matter of being free to live your own life without the oppression of someone else. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for having me.

one home has already gone down. more than a dozen others on very shaky ground. residents have been evacuated. no one hurt, thankfully. the landslide began around 4:00 a.m. people heard what sounded like thunder. however, the cause remains a mystery. the area is prone to landslides. they haven't had rain in days. jamie lynn from cnn affiliate komo joins us now from whidbey island. what is the latest there, jamie? >> reporter: well, anderson, this landslide is just massive, over 700 feet wide. and officials say this is normal for this time of year, but they tell me it's the largest landslide they've seen in their career here in washington state. i'm going to step out of the way. i want you to take a look at one of the homes that was evacuated along the ridge here. we have the caution tape out front. you can also see puget sound behind that house. the problem is, there used to be a backyard there, anderson. now, 75 to 80 feet of that backyard has fallen down that landslide. >> do they have any idea what caused this? >> reporter: yeah, we spoke with

a landslide geologist, and he works here for washington state. he says he thinks it's a rotational landslide. he says it's possible that the land in this area has been moving for several months, several years. it could be happening all the time. he thinks that is what led to this giant landslide. again, it's over 700 feet wide. and we've got dozens of people that have been evacuated. they're worried about what they're going to come home to. >> is there anything they can do? this may be a dumb question. but to shore up the cliffside? >> reporter: right now, no. that's why they have this entire area evacuated. they just want people to stay away. they want to keep them safe. i was out here all afternoon with my photographer. we watched the rock fall and it continued to fall, large clumps of rock. so it's pretty scary out here. >> incredible. jamie, appreciate your reporting, thanks much as we look at more images, we're joined on the phone by the local fire chief, ed harden and one of the evacuated islanders. ed, how many homes right now are affected?

>> well, during the day, we evacuated 34 homes on driftwood and fir crest. and of that, the more difficult evacuation was down on driftwood. the area that was directly impacted below the slide where we had to -- rescue one individual using an atv and then the balance were brought out using our marine unit and rescue boat, because of continued slide activity it in the area. >> and some of these images we're seeing, cliffs -- homes just hanging over these cliffs. you think it's possible more homes are going to be lost, right? >> well, we've got four homes that we're concerned with in particular. both down on fir crest, which is down near the water, and then

up -- and then up on driftwood. or down on driftwood. so there's four that we're predominantly concerned about. we've had a geo technical assessment by an engineer working for the county, and his advice is it's still an active slide but we've identified which areas are most at risk and we'll be meeting to brief the homeowners in the community at 7:00 p.m. >> kevin, you were at home when this happened. what did you hear? what did you see? >> well, it sounded a lot like -- well, the thing i can compare it to most is when mt. st. helens blew. it felt like something hit the house. >> so you could -- did the house shake? >> pardon? >> did the house shake? you could actually feel it? >> not really.

i mean, it was just like something solid just hit. it didn't really shake the house. >> how close is your house now to the cliff? >> i'd say a couple hundred feet. >> and i mean, did you have any real warning? how quickly did you have to get out of the house? >> well, i didn't have any warning. i mean, i was sleeping. but -- and i had gotten out of the house as soon as i figured out what was going on, talked to the local firefighters and they said you should get out. and it was -- i couldn't really make an assessment. >> have you been able to go back in at all to get anything else? >> went back this afternoon and emptied the contents. >> you were able to empty some of the contents out. ed, i know this isn't a freak occurrence, your community has dealt with this threat of landslides before. is there a timetable on this? how do you know when it's done? >> well, that's a difficult question to answer. at this point, it's still an active slide. there's still some -- there's still some ground movement going on. we've had a preliminary geo technical assessment, but that

process is going to continue tomorrow. and as you mentioned, this is an area where this has occurred to a smaller extent in the past. and the ground is prone to movement in that area. >> well, ed, i know it's been incredibly long hours for you. i appreciate you talk to us, ed hartin, and kevin i'm sorry for what you and your neighbors are going through. and i wish you the best. i hope your house is okay. appreciate you being with us. for more, go to cnn.com. ahead, inside the killer's mind. the troubling signs that were missed in the days and hours before jared loughner opened fire in that parking lot. thousands of pages released today paint a chilling picture and a lot of new details we had not heard before. also, a million dollar reward offered in the heat of the man hunt, of the rogue ex cop, christopher dorner. the reward money is being claimed but some of the donors who said they'd pony up the

money are backing out. we'll tell you why. two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf. and every day since, we've worked hard to keep it. bp has paid over twenty-three billion dollars to help people and businesses who were affected, and to cover cleanup costs. today, the beaches and gulf are open for everyone to enjoy -- and many areas are reporting their best tourism seasons in years. we've shared what we've learned with governments and across the industry so we can all produce energy more safely. i want you to know, there's another commitment bp takes just as seriously: our commitment to america.

bp supports nearly two-hundred-fifty thousand jobs in communities across the country. we hired three thousand people just last year. bp invests more in america than in any other country. in fact, over the last five years, no other energy company has invested more in the us than bp. we're working to fuel america for generations to come. today, our commitment to the gulf, and to america, has never been stronger.

tonight we have a former chilling picture of the days and hours leading up to the moment jared loughner gunned down 19 people in an arizona parking lot, killing 6 and wounding 13 others. arizona congresswoman gabby giffords was shot in the head. in the 26 months since that awful day, we've watched her hard-fought recovery. loughner diagnosed with schizophrenia is serving a life sentence. today was released thousands of interviews, survivor statements containing details we never heard before. hours before the shooting, loughner broke down crying after being pulled over for running a red light. when the officer, who didn't ticket him, asked if he was okay, loughner said, yeah, i'm

okay, i was just having a really rough time and i thought i was going to get a ticket. and i'm really glad you're not. loughner told an officer who handcuffed him, quote, i just want you to know i'm the only person who knew about this. the same officer said loughner plead wanted the fifth repeatedly in the patrol car. some of the most chilling details come from loughner's parents. it's clear they were very worried about their son's mental state. jake tapper has more. >> reporter: the most haunting thing about the killer's face, that smile. we'll never know exactly what jared loughner was thinking, but today the pima county, arizona sheriff's department released almost 3,000 pages of documents from their investigation. and they paint a picture of a man who long ago lost touch with reality. his parents told police he dab elled in cocaine and marijuana. and once owned a shotgun. but upon advice of school administrators, after he was kicked out of community college for an inflammatory video he posted online, they took that gun from him and hid it, along with an antique gun, in the trunk of their car. his mother said her son never got the mental health evaluation the school recommended when they

expelled him. but she acknowledged his behavior was, quote, not normal. sometimes you'd hear him in his room, like, having conversations. and sometimes he would look like he was having a conversation with someone right there, talking to someone. i don't know how to explain it. loughner's father said he was becoming difficult to talk to in the months before the shooting. one friend who worked at the store where loughner bought the glock he used in the shooting told authorities he would say he could dream and control what he was doing while dreaming. another friend got this voice mail message from loughner the night before the shootings. hey, it's -- this is jared. i had some very good times. and peace out. later. we're also learning more about the chaos and acts of heroism that day after loughner pulled the trigger. congresswoman gabby giffords' intern, hernandez, who helped tend to his boss after she was shot in the head said in an interview, she couldn't open her eyes. i tried to get any responses from her. it looked like her left side was the only side that was still mobile.

she couldn't speak. it was mumbled. she was squeezing my hand. and anderson, just a reminder, jared loughner pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges and will be in prison for the rest of his life without the possibility of parole. anderson? >> jake, thanks a lot. there's a lot more happening tonight, susan hendricks is here with a 360 bulletin. >> anderson, new court documents show colorado movie theater shooting suspect james holmes has offered to plead guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. the 25-year-old is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 others in the attack last july. prosecutors say they will decide if they'll accept the plea deal at a court hearing next week. a grand jury has indicted two teenagers in the death of a 13-month-old baby in brunswick, georgia. the baby's mother says she was pushing him in a stroller when he was shot to death in an attempted robbery last week. in euclid, ohio now, three police officers are credited with rescuing a man trapped inside this burning suv. the driver was unresponsive

crime and punishment tonight. the battle over big-ticket reward last month during a manhunt that gripped the nation. christopher dorner was on the run in california. three people had already been gunned down. authorities were desperate for leads. dorner, fired by the lapd in 2009, had made his intentions clear in a rambling manifesto. you remember this. he was on a mission of revenge. heavily armed, not only with guns but also years of police and military training. dorner's killing spree ended, of

course, in the san bernardino national forest. but only after the trail grew cold and $1 million reward was offered. tonight, some of the donors who promised to pony up are backing out and it's not clear who, if anyone, will actually get whatever reward remains. more on that in a moment. first, how the end game played out. here is kim la. >> 61-year-old, sounded like one shot fired from inside the residence. >> reporter: it wasn't clear just yet, but this would be the beginning of the end for christopher dorner. his reign of terror targeting and terrorizing california police and families for days on end. >> a burned-out truck near big bear lake 100 miles east of los angeles belongs to christopher jordan dorner. >> reporter: day five of dorner on the loose. now police had a solid lead. big bear became ground zero in the hunt. the mayor turned to the citizens of los angeles to help catch a killer. >> leaders from throughout the region, including leaders from businesses and unions,

government, law enforcement and community groups, came together to pool resources and protect our core value of public safety. collectively, this group that by my office is posting a reward of $1 million for information that will lead to mr. dorner's capture. >> reporter: tips came flooding in. as leads were followed up, the hunt moved into day six, and then day seven. and then another major break. not far from dorner's burned-out truck, jim and karen reynolds walked into their apartment and into christopher dorner's hideout. he tied them up. >> once he got us bound, he went out to the bathroom real quick, and came back with a couple wash cloths, stuck one in each of our mouths. >> reporter: dorner stole their vehicle. after he escaped, karen reynolds managed to call for help. >> and he left my cell phone

right on the coffee table. right there. and i sat down and was able to scoot around and work with it and call 911. >> reporter: moments later, two california fish and wildlife wardens spotted dorner driving. he crashed his car and fled on foot. escaping again. camp ranger rick heltabreak was next. >> i saw a vehicle crashed in the snow behind him and came up to the window of my truck and said i don't want to hurt you, just get out and start walking and take your dog. >> reporter: those shots were from dorner, directed at fish and wildlife officers. dorner sped away, but was forced to abandon the truck. he ran towards a cabin and barricaded himself in. police quickly surrounded it. they had finally cornered their target. a local cbs reporter captured the scene when dorner opened fire on san bernardino county sheriff's deputies. >> there are shots fired. four or five shots fired. >> reporter: one deputy was

wounded. another killed. >> but a short time later, we see smoke coming from the cabin. later we see heavy fire. >> reporter: then a single shot from inside the cabin. >> the information right now seems to indicate that the wound that took christopher dorner's life was self inflicted. >> reporter: a nine-day saga, four lives lost, ends with a single gunshot and one big controversy that isn't settled yet. kyung lah, cnn, los angeles. >> as we said tonight, some of the donors who promised to contribute reward money are having second thoughts. that's because dorner died in the standoff, the reward is moot. in their mind the terms wasn't met because he wasn't captured or convicted. in the meantime, two claims for the reward have been filed by the couple that were tied up in their apartment by dorner and by the camp ranger whose truck dorner carjacked. they say the calls they made led authorities to the killer. joining me is john miller,

senior correspondent for "cbs this morning" and counter terrorism chief for the los angeles police department. also los angeles city councilman dennis zine. councilman, to those authorities like the riverside police department who say the reward money will not be paid because the weren't met, what do you say? >> i say we're deceiving the public. we can't promise something and then not deliver. and the question is, if we make a promise, make a commitment, let's deliver that. there is a matter of integrity and honesty, transparency. in los angeles, we're going to deliver whomever is entitled to that reward. it's being investigated by the homicide of lapd. when it comes to us, we will deliver what we promised to deliver. >> john, do you think somebody deserves that reward? >> no, i don't think anybody deserves this reward as it was constructed. what you're looking for when you offer a reward of that size is you're looking for the cousin who is going to say i'm going to give up my cousin. you're looking for the guy who helped him hide out who is willing to sell him out.

you're looking for the alert citizen who spotted the license plate or saw him in the line at the deli. in one case you've got people who walked in and found out he burglarized their hem, held them at gun point and escaped and they called the police. in another case, you have a guy who was carjacked by him and called the police. that's different than the intent of the reward, which was to incentivize someone who knew information because they consorted with them or someone who was an observant citizen to come forward. on the other hand, there is another issue here. and that is the credibility of the reward process. it's not this time. it's the next time they offer a $1 million reward for something, you don't want people out there, whether in the criminal element or public, questioning whether that reward is going to get paid. >> so you're saying essentially while someone may not deserve it, they should probably pay it out. >> anderson, nobody deserves this reward based on that criteria tier and they should pay it anyway. and the fact is, the chief of detectives of the lapd has a working group with the 30 contributors there. so nobody is going to take that one big hit. it's divided up enough around

organizations they should pony up and pay. >> councilman, do you agree, no one deserves it but they should pay it out because of the detrimental effect it might have? >> there is theory and then reality. the theory is, no one was arrested, no one was convicted. the reality is, the apprehension, the death of mr. dorner, took place. and if we don't maintain credibility with the public, then future rewards will be laughed at. and mr. miller, who i know from his time at the lapd, is accurate on that situation. but the reality is, we made a promise, we made a commitment. and every reward that would be published after this, people would question, are you serious or trying to lure us in and walk away? we can't have deception and a lot of people would view this as deception. the city council posted a $100,000 reward, we're committed on that reward. the million dollars came from a variety of public sectors. that's being reviewed. but we are committed to the $100,000 we committed to, because we want to live by the word -- live by the truth and live by the integrity.

it's the integrity of the system in question when this issue then comes up. >> councilman, do you have of the two claims, one who you think is more deserving, or do you leave that up to others? >> we're leaving that up to the robbery homicide of the lapd. the robbery homicide section is investigating, they'll go through the process and it will ultimately come to us. we're committed to living up to our concept of honesty, reality and $100,000. >> do you agree -- leave it up to them? >> i think, you know, there are 30 contributors and the idea they came together to offer it and that some of them now are making independent decisions away from the group is a problem. i think that they should -- they should take the guidance of the lead agency here, the lapd. >> always good to have you on. councilman, appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you. up next, big news about ashley judd's possible run for a senate seat in kentucky. she made an official announcement today on twitter. we'll tell about you that. also a bus driver's very close call with a utility pole. incredible images. he lived to tell about it. we'll talk about that ahead.
