and the case that was brought against north carolina. in fact i was named in the case because at time i was speaker of the house. i'm just curious how, as you go forward and you're dealing with the challenges in this office, as i believe senator schumer said, trying to focus your resources on the bad actors, the hardened criminals, the difficult challenges that the department faces, and a case that has 10 attorneys on it, focused on no less than 10, i believe, focused on that, i would hope that there would be some focus on is that the best and highest use? if given the merits of the case and other laws that have gone to the supreme court, that it's likely to end in a situation where it's going to rule in favor of the state and at the expense of those resources could be used for other purposes. i mean, what is your thought on going into this role and taking a look at cases like that and maybe determining priorities based on the likely outcome? have you given any thought to that? >> certainly as we review a case, both throughout my career

joseph kennedy is a law professor at the university of north carolina.is it to prove a hate crime? >> it's very hard. it's always hard to get into someone's head. it's always hard to prove motive. >> reporter: kennedy says prosecutors will have to prove the main reason the students were killed was because of their race religion, or another protected status. >> it's not enough if it's one of the reasons. it has to be the main reason why they committed the crime. you can't prosecute someplace for a hate crime simply because of past hate speech or even because of membership in a hate group. >> reporter: north carolina does not have a felony hate crime charge, though it is a death penalty state. prosecutors may be able to make a case for the death penalty even without steak a hate crime occurred. still, leaders at this mosque are hoping to meet with federal investigators next week to make their case. they say it's important to them to prevent other muslims from becoming victims of similar crimes. vicente arenas, cbs news raleigh, north carolina. >> axelrod:

they were freshmen at north carolina a & c, a historically black university here. they came to the store, sat at the lunch counter and asked to order i believe some coffee and a piece of pie. the responses with really mixed. "you boys go on from here," i think another waitress was saying, "we don't serve colored people here.

i think as they say in north carolina, that dog don't hunt.e choices. it's important to recognize we're voting on here today. this item is respond inging to two specific petitions from two cities. the rulinging is enforceable only on behalf of the petition ners and their states. i do hope however that this decision was shine some light on the fact there is an ongoing effort to impose restrictions. on what elected local officials can do at the request of their people. and that it calls out the activities of incumbents to block consumer choice and competition. through legislation. the bottom line of these matters is that some states have created thickets of red tape designed to limit competition. we're not talking here about the state's authority to determine whether a community can offer broadband to its citizens. in both north carolina and in tennessee, the state has given the localities that authority. but that grant of authority has been undermined by state imposed bureaucratic red tape requirements. and what we're doing today is cutting awa

so if you are a low income family say in north carolina it's much harder. you fall behind in your bill the state has less money to work with. there is fewer utility supports an they're more likely to get into a shut off situation or fall further behind in their bill because there's just less money to help them with. i mean this is not like curing cancer. we have very very straightforward problem. it's a bill. and the northeast and midwest states have more money than the south or western states. >> this gets to the philosophical question of what is the role of government and what is the role of assistant poverty right? >> exactly. in a sense there's a broad agreement that programs like snap or food stamps medicaid, they are entitlement programs in the sense that if you are eligible based on income there will always be money to help you. energy assistance is discretionary grant program which means when the appropriation runs out the program ends. so that there is a real difference. it's a societal agreement to help people with food to help old age elderly peo

in north carolina alone mr. speaker, over 4,000 homeland security employees are going to be furloughed or go without pay. house republicans forced this unnecessary stalemate by including poison pill riders in the bipartisan bill that our homeland security subcommittee negotiated late last year. it was a bipartisan, bicameral negotiated bill. it's ready to be passed right at this moment. should have been passed in december along with the rest of the appropriations bills. instead, the republicans held back homeland security and they added riders designed to poke the president in the eye and to impose radical immigration policies. now thankfully senate republican leaders understand the potential consequences of a shutdown. they have resisted this tea party bait and decided to take up a clean homeland security funding bill. so, the senate must quickly pass that bill. and speaker boehner must let us vote on that bill. the american people didn't send us to washington to shut down critical functions of the united state

>> jean casarez reporting live from north carolina.an said just because the community wants a hate crime investigation, it doesn't mean the murders were a hate crime. legal analyst mark omara writes -- >> initial reports and it's early so we know little. they reveal not much more than an alleged facebook post could be interpreted as hateful against muslims. it's subjective and barely qualifies under one of the fbi's 14 points for establishing objective evidence of a hate crime. it's not enough to make a case. certainly not a case to withstand the skutcrutiny of a good defense attorney. mark joins me now. good morning. >> hey, carol. >> should there be a hate crime investigation at all? >> first of all, my sympathies of course with the families and their loss and the whole muslim community going through their loss. a hate crime investigation, yes, absolutely. the issue is whether or not there is enough there for hate crime. let's remember he's going to be indicted for three counts of first-degree premeditated murder. that act is full of

there is a plaque that was added after the civil war, which says, solomon hayes company g, 34th north carolina infantry. this gentleman was a farmer originally from south carolina who enlisted in the confederacy in 1962 and was discharged in april of 1964 at the age of 59. here's an example of where we actually know who the rifle was used by, and then stayed in the family and was descended and acquired by dr. murphy. the last piece i've selected to talk about is another rifle. this one is made by h c lam, or henry clarkson lam, and the family is one of gun smith's from jamestown in guilford county. his father was a gunsmith not for military purposes, but he made hunting rifles and guns. henry learned his trade from his father and went into production during the civil war. here's an example where the craft was passed on to a second generation, and he was awarded a contract the state of north carolina to provide arms for the confederacy. about 500 of these were believed to have been made to support the troops. this map shows all of the different armories and locations that are represented. there

the police there in north carolina are paying at this point we haven't developed that. then you get the question of what about a federal investigation. >> how would that work? >> yeah. basically it's interesting. apparently there's no specific hate crime in north carolina that would cover this situation. the federal government there is a hate crime statute. i looked at it and worked with it before. again, killing somebody by virtue of their ethnicity, color, religion et cetera. the interesting thing the department of justice has a policy that they want to justify a reprosecution. think about it. if he's convicted of three murder counts and ostensibly gets life in prison on three different counts. >> also, north carolina is a death penalty state. >> exactly. it would be very hard to justify -- again, people could take this the wrong way -- not saying i don't think it should be vindicated as a hate crime if it as a practical justice resources matter you're not necessarily going to want to prosecute for a hate crime if there's three murder counts. >> and if it's not consid
