7:11 am
those granted legal protection. the administration rushed the rule-making process, and it jeopardized other laws when it blamed limited resources for its inability to carry out deportations. on this last point, judge hanen wrote such an argument could be used to cease enforcing environment laws or the voting rights acts. the ruling comes as republicans and the white house are at a standstill over funding for the department of homeland security. republicans will provide the funds, but only if the president abandons his executive actions on immigration. >> the right thing is to fund this, to pass it the president signed into law unless we readdress immigration in the future the proper way. >> reporter: funding for the department of homeland security expires on february 27th. one possible way out, republicans agree to full funding while the administration april glees not to implement any of the president's executive actions on immigration until all legal issues are resolved. >> major, thank you. this morning, investigators

7:13 am
the house is on fire. the train derailed over the hillside. >> reporter: as many as 28 of the 109 tank cars went off the tracks. it is the latest in a series of derailments involving bakken crude that prompted the government to consider changes to the way the highly flammable oil is transported. >> our rulemaking among other things proposes to enhance tank car standards. >> reporter: those changes could include thicker tanks. shields to protect tanker cars from crumpbling rollover protection and high-tech brakes that would stop cars simultaneously prevental them from slamming into each other. upgrades like this could take years to enact and cost billions of dollars. there has been resistance in the industry to some of these changes, and after this derailment involving tanker cars, many in the industry consider a safer option there are calls for even tougher standards. just about two weeks after proposed crude oil transport rules were submitted to the

7:16 am
of the world right now. i don't know if i'm insane or sane. the officer in the police cruiser suggested during testimony that routh was purposely putting on a display. a man in control of his actions, not someone as his insanity defense claims who did not know right from wrong. routh shot and killed navy s.e.a.l. chris kyle whose life inspired the film "american sniper," and kyle's friend chad littlefield as a texas shooting range two years ago. the defense says routh's paranoia was fumed by the rifles kyle and littlefield brought with them. one of which was emblazoned with the words american sniper. routh's attorney calmed his mother to the stand. she said her daughter called her the day of the shooting deaths and said she's spoke ton routh to claimed he killed two men. routh's mother feared the worst. i had chris' number in my phone, she told the court and i dialled that number praying to god that

he would answer. for cbs "this morning," stephensville, texas. cbs news legal analyst rickis with is. >> smart move for the prosecution. looks like he is rational about talking about mental illness. he talks about being paranoid or schizophrenic. sounds like a statement from a rational being, not from an insane person. also the police officer discusses that he was one way when there was a crowd around and a different way when a crowd wasn't around. >> how do you balance one time they seem rational and another time they don't? >> look at what the mother says and one of the things that the mother said is that he was hospitalized with v.a. three times. came out with nine medications includeing a medication for schizophrenia. she bepged he edbepged he not be let out of v.a. showing us he was
7:18 am
suffering fra a severe mental illness. something, by the way, i don't think the prosecution can test. >> the most stunning testimony from the mother to hear that. you know, about him being admitted three times in one week before he killed chris kyle. the mother said please keep in him yet they had to release him. doesn't that help the defense's insaint argument? >> it helps the defense insanity argument big time. one of the things we have to realize is what the insanity defense really is. it is that at the time of the event, the critic manyal moment because of a mental disease or defect, when se has, he lacked substantial capacity to distinguish right from wrong. this is a very solid insanity defense, and it's going to become a battle of experts in texas about whether or not he really understood what he was doing was wrong. >> at that moment. >> at that moment. in fact, his confession which happens later, may be somewhat

good morning. let's go out to the east bay and check the ride on the nimitz freeway. you know, it is pretty backed up still near the oakland coliseum. but it often is for this time of the morning. the drive time is about a half- hour between 238 and the maze. so really it's going to look like that all the way out to your downtown oakland exits. and if you are heading for the bay bridge, westbound 24 is still all in the red. you can see it from at least highway 13 as you get out of the caldecott tunnel all the way to the bay bridge toll plaza, which still at this hour is still stacked up through the maze. and the eastshore freeway is still heavy especially from richmond into emeryville. the marin county commute is find on south 101 out of novato clear through san rafael. richmond/san rafael we have delays on the approach to the toll plaza if you are heading into marin county from the east bay.
