it is 5:00 o'clock exactly in center city philadelphia a let's check in with meteorologist carol erickson with our first forecast, good morning, carol. >> welcome to yeu. we will talk about why nicole is not here this morning coming up, it is exciting news. we have very comfortable temperatures, liz and i enjoyed coming in with temperatures in the lower 70's and a lot of would you like those temperatures. the lets see what we have right now out there. you can see we have temperatures that are comfortable even at the shore, margate, yes, there is something down there. that is a live look at the beach. 71 degrees before the temperature in margate at this point. storm scan three is showing a few clouds over the area and this weekend will be less sunny, much of the time and the chance at least of picking up an isolated sure or thunderstorm today but we have clouds over us right now and we cannot totally rule out a spotty shower here or there later on this afternoon. we have better chances on have that happening though by the time we get to sunday. as far as temperatures go most of them are in

interesting piece up in the side there is his zone i erickson -- sony erickson telephone. he did not actually use that cell phone to make phone calls when he was in iraq and afghanistan, rather he used it to help do the mathematics behind the targeting for his sniper rifle. in fact he told us this story and told us that on night missions he didn't even use that telephone because of the light emitted from the cell phone itself. little bits and pieces of the soldier's story, just like that cell phone, are what give us that whole view of the soldier and can better understand the history of the united states army. you can see a piece right there, a section of improvised explosive device. of course one of the main concerns of most soldiers in iraq and afghanistan was the i.e.d. we have an exhibit over here put together by one of our staff members who actually was on an e.o.d. team in iraq. he was wounded by a sniper during a mission, but now he is one of our exhibit designers. and he put together this exhibit right here. this is different views of what he saw as an explosive or

and there is carol erickson. >> it has been an active morning. did you hear me? heavily running over here. >> but you made it. >> i tried to tiptoe, but it was deafening, almost, running through the studio. but liz, we have so much going on, constantly over at storm scan, check to go see where these showers are. you can see, along the boardwalk right now, still some raindrops, that have been on that boardwalk, itself, and that's really cut down on your boardwalk traffic today. gloomy start to the day. you move to the north, though, doesn't look all that bad out through reading, we do have some high, thin clouds, 77 degrees, muggy, mild morning. it feels like summer around here this morning, which i think everybody is probably pretty happy about. so we've got temperatures that are in the 70s, now, 74 in philadelphia, wilmington, 74 down in millville, 57 in wildwood. it is a warm start. it will be a warm finish, almost 90 degrees later on today. storm scan3, i will get out of the way, and show you some of these showers and thunderstorms, just loop over the last thr

carol erickson, who is just flying back here. >> where a.m.y?there you are. >> yes, you know, we had the rain showers this morning, liz, as you saw. and iand i've been showing themo you on storm scan three as well. you can see, weaver the cloud cover out there. i think, though, that we will be seeing at least at least chaf fair amount of sunshine today. and the way this weather system; the more sunshine we see, the stronger some of these storms could be later on in the day. so, this is a very complicated mixed up kind of a forecast for today. we've already seen some of those showers. the clouds are still behind. and how long do they stay behind? that's going to be certainly determining just how active our weather pattern gets today. you can see we do have some of the clouds down at the shore, down in rehoboth beach this morning, first thing, so not the brightest start of the day. we will be finding some sunshine later on today, but again, that can create its own problems. so what do we see as far as our temperatures go? well, they are in the 70s

erick erickson says it is political theater, john boehner doesn't have the fortitude. i think it alien ats the hard right base as somebody as a marion et. >> the other part of erick erickson's quote is why are you doing this theater, political theater here when you have the constitutional means to punish the president, and that is a euphemism for impeachment. if you want to deal a serious blow to the president, if you want to punish the president, if you want to stand up for the legislative prerogatives you claim you're fighting for, don't go to court, impeach the president. >> his point was more specific to funding the law. we talked to people on the hill about this. they basically are looking at it saying we should have just shut down the government over obamacare. >> we had our chance. >> and the truth is that's an amazing lever that congress has over the executive, they can fund things for implementation, and they did take a swing at it and they missed. and that's what happened when they shut down the government in october. i will say one thing about the context of

in 1999, jennifer erickson was supervising as a pharmacist of bartel drugs in belle view, washington. upon starting her job, she learned that her company didn't cover one prescription that she needed, birth control pills, so she appealed to the company, asking them to cover that benefit. she was denied. so she went on to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of the company's nonunionized employees. in a landmark ruling, the federal district court, judge robert glasnik, held that miss erickson had the legal right to access birth control under the civil rights act of 1964. what's more, the decision was based on a supreme court precedent. so unlike the district court, though, the supreme court has gotten this wrong, and the ruling is a dangerous precedent to allow employers to deny other health care benefits just because the owner wants to proclaim that his religious beliefs doesn't want him to offer those coverages. as justice ginsburg said -- quote -- "with the exemption, the court holds that has been used on contraceptives based on religious grounds, would there be other examples like

erick erickson from red state, mark levin, radio talk show host, have both said this is stupid idea. that republicans should focus more on the substance of this issues they can win on substance much obamacare, because most people believe, don't agree with it, especially in states with battleground race this is year. but instead they're now looking for another way to reprimand the president other than impeachment. it looks like speaker boehner was pressured into this because he didn't want to do impeachment. so this is a way to placate the hard right-wing of his base who wants to take some formal action against president obama. jon: so what would be, in your view the more effective way to take on a president if you virtually disagree with his entire agenda? >> look, i think you've seen some republicans do that. paul ryan, i think has done it effectively in saying that look, the house of representatives is controlled by republicans and we have passed a stack of bills that the senate won't act on. and i think, just being on the trail, you do see, you hear people respond to that. the sen

eric erickson over at red state doesn't seem to be very pleased with speaker boehner's idea of suing the president. i realize john boehner and house republicans may lack the testicular fortitude to fight president obama, but i kindly ask that they save the taxpayers money on a political stunt solely designed to incite republican voters. >> our problem here is we don't control the senate and we didn't win the presidential election. we've cut the deficit. we've blocked the president time and time again and the speaker has been the leader of that. and suggesting anything -- >> you're in favor of this lawsuit? >> i want to see the specifics. look, the president has routinely changed the law with respect to obamacare. he has routinely changed the immigration laws and now is complaining we need more legal authority. he hasn't waited for legal authority in the past. he could act now. and so, yeah. i mean, i think it's probably worth doing. i want to see the specifics of what we're going to lay out. and i haven't seen that so far. >> all right. tom cole, republican from oklahoma, appreciate
