The draft resolution follows more than 2,300 air strikes on isis targets in iraq and syria. The proposed legislation already has critics from both parties. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the debate could last for months. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. You know for a long time there were many members including some leaders who didnt think the president needed this authorization. After all, as you pointed out, the u. S. Has been striking from the air. But over the past months it has been clear the fight against isis is going to be a long one, its going to be costly, and it requires congress to sign off. Our collision is on the offensive. Isil is on the defensive and isil is going to lose. President obama consulted with leaders in both parties that crafts operations against isis for three years and allows for the use of Ground Troops in limited circumstances. For example, if we had actionable intelligence about a gathering of isil leaders and our partners didnt have the capacity to get them. I would be prepared to order our special forces to take action because i will not allow these terrorists to have it. Still, some democrats worry that leaving the door open to even limited ground operations could put troops in harms way. They could put troops in syria for 18 months and claim this is not enduring because i set a time limit on their deployment. Theit was argued that they could be be. Republican paul gosar represents the district thats home to the aid worker Kayla Muellers who death was confirmed this week after she was held by isis for a year and a half. He and others say they want more details before they authorize force. I have to feel hes got to resolve that when were putting our men and women in harms way, we mean what we say and were not going to dillydally around. You dont go into war without a strategy. The administration will lay out that strategy in a series that will now be held on this resolution and there will be a lost debate over it. Thats really the point charlie. It requires the administration and congress to talk far more about how this fight against isis is going to play out in the months and years ahead. Nancy, thanks.

The Washington Post says the stage is set for the first veto showdown between congress and president obama. The house passed a bill yesterday to construct the keystone xl pipeline. It would carry supplies from can to to ports and refineries on the gulf coast. The senate and house do not appear to have enough votes to override a president ial veto. The Los Angeles Times says a partial shutdown will occur. They do not want to give dockworkers holiday overtime pay. Its the latest step in a longrunning labor dispute. It has delayed shipments from asia and has also hurt businesses that rely on parts from china and other countries. Embattled governor johnis asked to step down. The Associated Press reports he did reach a decision to quit but then changed his mind. Busybusiness insider said they will not honor cheap tickets. They snapped up first class fares from london to new york for 74. Sound too good to be true that is because its 5,000 off the normal cost. They blame it on a software glitch.

Testimony begins today in the american sniper testimony. There was an eerie email between kyle and hitz friend chad littlefield before they were shot. Mark strassmann is at the courthouse in stephenville texas. Good morning. Reporter good morning. No one disputes that Eddie Ray Routh is troubled or that he killed two texas men. The issue is whether he knew right from wrong. Roughly three hours after Eddie Ray Routh met chris kyle for the first time he gunned down the decorated navy s. E. A. L. Routh shot child and his friend chad littlefield at the gun range. On the drive there, kyle was already wary of routh. He was on his cell phone and he texted chad littlefield sitting right next to him, this dude is straight up nuts. Reporter routh has been diagnosed with ptsd schizophrenia, and paranoia. When he took their lives, he was in the grips of a psychosis. Reporter an insanity defense is a tough sell especially to a texas jury. Professor Paul Applebaum is an expert in law, ethics and psychiatry. The standard that they apply in texas relyies on whether he knew what he did was wrong. They say its no excuse. Even go on that he may or may not have. Taylor kyle the snipers widow agrees. She testified her dead husband wanted to help routh because the sniper, quote, thought he was doing the right thing. The mother of chad littlefield, the other man routh killed, also took the stand. For her it was a painful day. First day of the trial would have been his 38th birthday. Gayle . Thank you very much mark. A woman says the police snatched her phone. They took her phone after she livestreamed the mans arrest. It happened two years ago but it shows the history. The relationship between police and citizens cell phones. Reporter the cell phone has become a powerful tool across the country. Cell phone users are becoming digital watchdogs. Witnessing the choke hold death of a man. The beating of a woman by a Highway Patrol officer. This video was shot by carey medina in 2013. She was riding a portland bus but got off when she noticed a young man being arrested by two police officers. When the bus came to a stop i heard, ooh, that must have hurt and thats when i saw and saw the young man with his face down in the street and the officers on top of him. Reporter medina calls hess a citizen journalist and was broadcasting these images live from her webphone to the arrest for four minutes when one of the officers turned to her. I dont need a s p to search your phone. It didnt get scary until he decided to grab the phone from my hand. Medina and the aclu filed a salute against the officer and the Transit Agency saying her First Amendment free speech rights and fourth unreasonable search and seizeure. They reminded them that videotaping by the public is part of police work today. Think its important for the public to understand that when theyre on public property and filming incidents that are occurring out in the public that they have the absolute right to do that.

A pennsylvania family faces an extraordinary question. Should the man who killed 47yearold cutter die for his crime. A story youll see only on cbs this morning. An narks good morning. Good morning charlie. Its a story of heartbreak for a family who lost a daughter and sister and then had to decide what they thought should happen to her alleged killer. Two years later and its still really hard to imagine that this did happen. Reporter Heather Shapiro and patricia lost their sister to a brutal murder. Since then theyve been living through their own story of crime and punishment. It began in september 2012 when 40yearold Jennifer Brown moved to qatar, a small arab country in the middle east to teach kindergarten. She was intrigued by it. She thought it was great opportunity and they made it look so great. Reporter brown knew no one there but she was determined to take the job. Once she got that, there was no changing her mind. No changing her mind. Hmmmm. She was going to go. Yes. Their sister had been living in qatar for just two months when their father called heather at home. He couldnt get the words out, so i knew something awful had happened but i would have never thought that it was that. Reporter Jennifer Brown had been stabbed to death in her apartment. A Kenyan Security guard at her building was arrested and admitted to it. She was nearly 7,000 miles away from her family in pennsylvania. We thought nobody was there for her. Nobody was there for her. We felt helpless. There was nothing we could do. It was very painful. It didnt get any easier. The trial dragged on for months and a few weeks ago Jennifer Browns family learned a qatari judge wanted them to decide his punishment. I was shocked. Again, i dont understand the court system in the middle east and i didnt even consider that they would take the familys wishes into consideration like that. They were told their options included giving him a shorter sentence in exchange for blood money, a payment of 56,000 in exchange. Thats very insulting considering what he took from us. Reporter the next question was harder to answer. Whether he should get the death penalty. You potentially have the power to spare this mans life or put him to death. Whats it like . Difficult. Its a real hard decision. For either of you, was there a feeling at all . Amoment of wanting revenge. I mean he killed your sister. Yes. In the beginning i felt like that. She said their father did too, but their catholic faith and belief won out. We dont want to be like him. We dont want to take another life because he did. We dont feel its right. Jennifer browns body now rests at the Parish Cemetery in her hometown. Her sisters visit her often and believe jennifer would have agreed with the decision to spare the life of a man who took hers. I think that jenny was so forgiving and loving toward everybody that she thinks we did the right thing. This is what she would have wanted. , anna theres a hearing coming up. What impact will the familys opinions have sf. I spoke to usa Embassy Official yesterday. They told me it is likely to have a Significant Impact on the judges decision and part of the reason for that as a harvard law professor explained to us under the can qatari law the judge is statutorily required to take the familys views into account in the case of intentional premeditated murder.

What was going through your mind as you were stabbing israeli women. I believe you have to defend yourself by any means, any way. Do you feel guilty . I feel guilty because a human being was kill and i want a reason. Thats a good reason to feel guilty. They want to make sure when peace talks break down israel does not seen the blame. Theres a big war going on in vietnam and the people know all about it. This is where the bodies are stored, more than 1,800 of them. A small fraction of those missing but more than any morgue on earth can handle. Were to the north pole. Weve traveled to remote places before but never on an ice breaker. If a lion king is the king of the jungle then the polar bar is the king of the ice. Hes on top of the food chain here on top of the world. They say hes only a babe. He doesnt seem terribly aggressive. He seems like you could handle it. Thats why i like shakespeare and paul knew man. Have you always talked so fast . Yes. I was horrified by it and i said to my wife this is unbearable how i talk. Its unbearable for me. The beep eersers going off. No no. Are you sure . Yes. I dont like a beeper in chernobyl. I dont like that sound. The small gathering is only the beginning. Its so momentous that historians may one day view it as a landmark in the decline of the british empire. The beatles are breaking up. Reporter when a violin string broke in those early days they used whatever they had to fix it. You took the wire from a sfwhiek bike yes. Break of a bicycle and turned it into the string of a violin. Yes. And made music. Yes. So for now all ill say is it hasnt been easy. Its been a long and difficult 40 days and 40 nights. But the point is that as you can see weve lost a little weight weve age add little but were fine. This is a story that could have ended another way, but its had a happy ending. Cbs news evening managing editor and anchor of the cbs evening news scott pelley joins us now. He and bob simon were 60 minutes colleagues for more than a decade. Good morning. You are a good reporter and youve known a lot of reporters. What sets this man apart . What can you add . It was a master class in journalism right there. Master class in storytelling just what we saw. Bob simon in his own words. He was a great writer a man of enormous courage. Someone asked me earlier today, well, where did the courage come from. Bob had a sharp intolerance for injustice and he had equal opportunity rage for every injustice committed in every corner of this earth. Ill never forget an interview he did with an israeli general, for example. He looked up at the general and said youre one of the greatest generals israel has ever produced. And he smiled and nodded and he said so why are you killing children. There was a bob simon punch, a roundhouse punch that he could knock anybody out with, and it was in the form of a question. It seems so ironic and so unfair, scott, that he cheated death so much and he died on a west side highway in a car crash. Yes, but at the age of 73 and having been from the Arctic Circle and the antArctic Circle and everywhere in between, what an amazing life. What an amazing life. And lived to see his grandson grow to the age of 3, which was the joy he my wife once asked him, whats it like to be a grand dad. He said there is one perfect child. It was wonderful. I have to tell you a quick anecdote, if i may. When i was a young no nothing correspondent here at cbs in the 1980s saddam invaded kuwait and bon was sent as the lead correspondent to cover the gulf war and i was sent to be his under study. What does that mean . I was the two guy. I was there to watch bob simon work. He had famously covered vietnam and now i had the opportunity to spend a year with him and i learned how to become a war correspondent from bob simon. And we had a plan that if there was ever an air raid where our cbs bureau was, wi would all muster and everyone would be accounted for and wed all go to the bomb shelter. One night the air missiles were going off, scud missiles explosions everywhere. Everyone musters in the bureau. We cant find bob. There was no bob. I found him he was on the roof. He was on the roof on the phone with cbs radio describing the explosions as they landed. And in that moment i said to myself, got it. Thats what a war correspondent does. He was in the action. He shows courage as you said last night. Absolutely. What ease amazing about him. Its true with him and ed bradley. They did these Great Stories and interviews having to do with the news and the cutting edge but they may well be remembered for those. Bob with all those stories about music. Showing the congo. He was a great lover of opera, great lover of music, great love irof the human spirit. And when the human spirit overcame those injustices that we were describing thats what bob loved to see. Hemingwayesque really. Epic stories of human struggle. I think he threw himself into these situations because he could write great things about epic events. He set a very high bar. Could watch you all morning. Thank you scott. Bob continues the announcer this mornings eye opener at 8 00 is sponsored by nationwide. It is not kboung to be easy filling jon stewarts shoes. We love you, jon. Nah. What is this fluid . What are these feelings . Are you experiencing any negative feedback down there on the floor .

The Jackie Robinson west team did not lose the title because of anything anyone did on the field. They took the championship away because a few adults decided to skirt the rules and use outside players from the district. Some say the ruling doesnt change the results. We werent involved in anything that could have caused us to be stripped of our championship. We know we are championships the parents know were championships, and chicago knows were championships. A Las Vegas Team that lost to jack can rock inson west now holds that championship. Making politics funny. When you think about that story, you think bad adults bad adults to do that to those kids. Making politics funny. What jon stewart will leave behind when he steps down from the show. A look ahead at his credibility. Thats next on cbs this morning.

In more than 16 years of the daily show, jon stewart made news relevant for a new generation. It will be part of his incredible legacy when he leaves the show later this year. Anthony mason shares some of the stories that helped him become the leader in comedy and some say a leader in journal it. Anthony, good morning. Good morning, charlie. Some say he indevelopmented the daily show when he took it over in 1989 and it became a gamechanging broadcast, a comedy show that has managed to shift the american pop culture and politics. Sometimes all it took was a look for jon stewart to puncture a politician. Its most often been aimed at hipypocrisy in washington or the absurdity of the election process. You invited the rock the World Federation wrestling champion to speak. Are you experiencing any negative feedback on the floor . Not a bit, jon. As a matter of fact. Who came out on top last night . Well, jon, in my analysis and what my colleagues are saying is gore won, but bush won. How did it change the game . It changed the game in that he sort of did what no one thought was possible in that he made politics entertaining. Dalton ross is an entertainment editor with entertainment weekly. Hi always said he was a comic but it was a comic show, wasnt it . It would horrify him to hear me say this but he became a trusted journalist of news. He brought a lot of clarity, accountability for other people that wouldnt otherwise have the accountability but hi did it in such a way that allowed people to laugh about it. He keeps me sane. After watching everything crazy that happens in politics these days, i think its nice to see someone like him put everything in perspective and talk real about it because otherwise i think i would go crazy. Reporter it made it influential with politicians. Former president clinton tweetward will i getmy news each night. John earnest discussed stewarts departure at wednesdays briefing. As somebody i would certainly call myself a fan and occasional victim of jon stewart, well certainly be sad to see him go. Reporter hes wanted to change the political dialogue. Appear on cnns crossfire in 2004 he called the shows left and rightwing hosts partisan hacks for contributing to a national screening. I have made it a point to come on the show because i mentioned this show as being bad. A cnn executive would cite stewarts criticism as one reason why the show was canceled a few months later. Stewart likes to say he deals in fake news but there was nothing fake about his broadcast after 9 11. The view from my apartment was the world trade center. But you know what the view is now . The statue of liberty. For his response to the choking death of eric garner by a wheesite policeman last year. I bet people wonder how much of a society we live in at all. Comedy shows rarely shape our culture. Jon stewarts have for more than 16 years. The median age of his audience is 36 years which is about 20 years younger than the network audience. That shows you how much they like him. Everybody liked him, even his victims. When we come back, why its good to be common. Ahead, our conversation with the oscar nominee who shows how he finds inspiration. Its common right here right here im brainstorming. What am i brainstorming about cbs this morning. You now how we do. Good morning everyone im ukee washington. In the news right new crew from his penndot and path turnpike are at the beginning of a five hour journey to massachusetts, to help with snow removal. Chopper three over the trevose stock yard on neshaminy boulevard in bensalem bucks county just moments ago as those trucks rolled out. Penndot is sending dozens of pieces of equipment with the personnel needed to operate them. They could stay for a week and massachusetts officials will reportly pick up the cost. All hand on deck. Way to help out. Lets get your forecast with kate, good morning. I have a feeling those trucks may run into a couple flurries or snow showers making their trek north. As we look at storm showers and flurries are already out there these are quick little bursts of snow that comes down maybe for a brief time, not heavily necessarily but enough to reduce your visibility briefly. It isnt going to have very much time to dump very much. We expect to see those snow showers through midday, 40 degrees is our expect high but may in the feel like 40 when that win cranks. It will begin to pick up with time. Eleven is our expect low and it will feel like it the is sub zero later tonight already.

A cyber attack led to a massive leak of emails and an embarrassing one. She said things about Hollywood Star and president obama that were embarrassing. She spoke wednesday at the world and womens conference in san francisco. There was this horrible moment where i realized there was absolutely nothing at all that i could do about whether id hurt people betrayed people, whether i said things that i didnt mean. I couldnt protect anyone, not their feelings not what they thought of me. Pascal said the most important thing she learned is to say exactly what you think directly to the people all the time.

The company under armour is now the sports brand of the u. S. Kevin clank is in the toyota green room with a first look this morning at a new stararstudded ad campaign. There it is. Under armour, the company, is on a roll. Its suched from 281 million in 2005. Last year the Company Earned more than 3 billion. Its now passed adidas to become the number two sportswear maker in the United States right behind nike. Right now first on cbs this morning, under armour is releasing a new commercial in its biggest Global Campaign ad yet. It features allstar sterch kurphen curry and jamie foxx. They never met stephen curry. The leagues most. Wow. He joins us at the table. Good morning. There was a lot of energy in this. You were seming tshirts out of the trunk of your car. You sold 3 million bl then eventually last year. Yes. Not out of your car. As charlie mentioned back in 2005, we were a 285 Million Company that began with 16,000 of seed money that i used from my rose busy when i was in college at the university of maryland. Second year, 503 million. Next five years crossing a billion. This year cross 3g billion. Who selected these really smart commercials. Mr. Copeland Gisele Bundchen jamie foxx, stephen curry. You cant afford firms when youre small. Any brand is about having a point of view. I think that comes across in a very consistent way. We do all of our markets inhouse. We have a new partner. Its a combination. It starts with you. You hate it when people say weve always done it that way. Usa today did an article on you called kevin cojones. Is that a compliment . Yes. Charlie says it was. Yes. We even been a gutsy company, i think, and you have to play that way. Its so hard. When youre a small company, you have to bet that way. Youve got to be lucky. Weve got one of those. Baltimore and 16 offices around the world. We feel like were just getting start and much more to come. Whats the book of will about . Its a campaign with jammy fox. Who wants to wake up and go exercise. Nobody. Nobody. But you want the results. So having and finding the will to do it. So everything is look. Were the overachieving brand, the ujds dog brand, no one thought we could do it. No one gave us the chance to be in this position. Wre an we take that with great responsibility. Great product, great story. Can you beat nike . I think that its never about us. I think the same question the way i answer the question is what concerns you the most today is the same answer i had 18 years ago when the company started. I worry about ourselves. I woe about getting other our skis. We talk about humble and hungry is one of the phrases we use, the name of our cafeteria. The humble and hungry cafeteria. We want more but what weve tot recognize is youre as capable of building it up. They say kevin works hard plays hard, and knows what hes doing. You got in a kerfuffle recently and the phrase its the dumbest company. If you were to say it over, what would you say . Were in a Competitive Industry and we fight these other ones over and over and were focused on what were doing, where were going. And then you compete with people that theyre makes decisions. If you have big kahunas, where have you failed . Where have you made the wrong debt . Last time we were talking about speed skating suits. The thing about a brand is you kls always control the message. What you can do is stick to your principles. Its one of the things thats built and dropped in buckets. Thats what a brand is. Theres a little kid out there who doesnt think theyre good enough. That day they got something special. Its not just a nice targeting campaign that but its lit ragly the literally that. You did well in college. Prescriptions. Thank you. Your as i said were sad here at the cbs news but even heard gayle and scott and jeff report what makes a reporter best. The courage to go to the front lines and have a human spirit and what makes that kind of spirit come alive. Tune in tonight for more on the legacy of good morning im erika von tiehl.

Lets look a head to tomorrow what that snow will do is reenforce chill and wind. It feels in better than Single Digits at best tomorrow morning, that is pretty brutal stuff so make sure you are prepared with heavy layers.
