greece is a small town near rochester and they are at least in rochester lots of people of different religions including parts of the religion. could you work that out if that were the only objecting? >> the practical matter of doing the opposite not making an effort to make people who were not christian feel although they lived in or near the town or are affected thereby participants. >> it is a perfectly rational approach when any legislative body is going to have a practice of legislative prayer to go to the houses of worship in the community. >> i want to know if you have any objection. >> i don't think it is constitutionally required all the way with that as a practical matter. >> all that was left in the case was the question of your making a good-faith effort to try to include others what you object to doing it? >> i don't d know what the towns position is. as it practical matter the deputy supervisor was quoted in the newspaper saying anybody can come in prayer. >> the difference of putting it on a website is different from making an organized pursuit to see that people get t

buffalo and rochester, traveling by rail also not easy. this was the scene at new york's penn station yesterday where every single line was delayed. in all, some 58 million americans have been impacted and this satellite image released by nasa shows just how wide it reaches, the entire country almost covered there. katy tur is at laguardia. what's the latest there now? >> reporter: the storm has such bad timing for everybody across the country and everyone is feeling delays in some form or another. we've been here at laguardia since 6:00 a.m. this morning. we first got here there were almost no delays or cancellations and as the day has gone on, there's only been a few more here and there. we're seeing a handful of delays on the board now at american airlines. they range from about 15 minutes to an hour and a half, only a couple cancellations, laguardia has been running pretty smoothly as the day has gone on. the flights are able to take off pretty much just fine here at laguardia, the inbound flights are having a much harder time, it's an

case involves a suburb near rochester new york and two nonchristians who argue they were coerced into praying before town meetings. many believed the court settled this issue 30 years ago when it ruled a neb legislature could pay the chaplain arguing that prayer is the fabric of our society. >>> many are wondering if the disgraced crack smoking mayor of toronto has a prayer of keeping his job. the city council is urging the deputy mayor to or chess straight a dignified exit. ford has apologized but insists he's not going anywhere. >> i apologize and i'm so sorry. i was elected to do a job. and that exactly what i'm going to continue doing. >> that is tough and mayor ford has been losing it even without an election. we want to turn to the winners and losers in our election recently. a couple of thoughts i had watching this last night. number one, the big winner on policy here are i believe the 400,000 people in virginia that can actually get the medicaid expansion, which terry mcauliffe ran on. and all of the state of virginia which may become a state where we actually see obama care c

this all happened when the case was being discussed in the local media in rochester. i have no doubt it was related. >> thank you. >> my name is aisha, i am the legal director for americans united. americans united has been so proud since 2000 and eight to have sponsored this case and have represented these extraordinarily brave and courageous women. we got involved in this case for a simple reason, we believe that what the town of greece was doing was wrong. are dissipating in local government -- participating in local government is a irreversible right. it should not be conditioned on recitation of the lord's prayer or participation in any other prayer that is unique to a particular faith tradition. town residents attend these meetings, not as spectators, but as participants. children sports teams are invited to receive awards. people come to ask the board to take action and they come to seek zoning permits. exercising those rights and seeking those important benefits should not be conditioned on bowing one's head in recognition of the divinity of jesus christ. it i

it's the buffalo, rochester, down to cat rog ga, cha tack wag county. it's the rain to the southeast of there, heavy rainfall. i know rain is easier to drive in than snow. you still have a million other people trying to drive in the rain. be sure your washers are full, that little bottle in your car. make sure you can squirt the windshield if you have to. make sure the wipers are working properly fun somewhere in between, that's where there's going to be the ice event tonight. i'm worried about tonight after dark. most of the roadways are doing okay right now because the sun is out. you can't see it, but it's daylight. when the daylight goes away, those roads will freeze. the bridges freeze first like they were talking about on that little package right there. that's when you have to be very, very careful as soon as the sunsets tonight. the new york thruway across i-80, i-95, the pennsylvania turnpike back into ohio, anything across from 66 west of d.c.,'s it's the east to west roads that start to freeze up tonight. >> chad, yes, the ice worries me ever

this because primarily the weather has been quiet the last several days but here comes the rain from rochester and buffalo. just in time for late week disruption as far as your airline traffic is concerned. it definitely looks like it could impact the region. not just with the wet weather and the reduced visibility but we are expecting gusty winds behind this system. yes, a fairly mild morning, but by the afternoon, those temperatures are really going to swing around quite a bit with wind gusts possibly as high as 30, possibly 35 miles an hour. here is the water vapor imagery. frontal system makes its way towards the east so it isn't the i-95 corridor and extends to charlotte and for atlanta, but we have got another weather system moving into the northwest with plenty of mountain snow. >> thank you, karen. >>> 38 minutes past the hour. >>> a 13-year-old eighth grader from kansas says he was suspended from school wednesday for refusing to take off his vera bradley purse. schuyler davis says he has been carrying the clorl bag over his shoulder since august and there have been no issues. now he i

. >>> an off-duty rochester, new york, police officer is being called a hero this morning. kristin wilson and her mother helped to pull three young children from this van moments before it burst into flames. the family's vehicle had been hit by a driver running a red light. amazingly there were no serious injuries. >> really is a hero. four children in the van. the driver and her 9-year-old daughter were able to get out but not the 2-year-old twin boys and 6-month-old daughter. they were buckled in child safety seats. the fire began under the hood. so really the clock was racing, and -- wow, some great efforts there. >> obviously it is so important to have your child in those seats but it can be a struggle getting them out and wilson was able to able to jump in to help. the younger kids were tougher to extract from the car. >> the 20-year-old driver was ticketed for speeding and running the red light. his mother says, "words don't even explain how thankful and grateful i am." good for that family. >>> eight people are dead in the powerful storm system moving across a huge s

shanna swan, an epidemiologist at the university of rochester medical school. dr. swan compared the levels of phthalates in a group of pregnant women with the health of the baby boys they gave birth to. did you find that the higher the level of phthalates in the mother's urine during pregnancy, the greater the problems in the young boys? >> yes. >> what did you find in the babies? >> we found that the baby boys were, in several subtle ways, less completely masculine. >> dr. howard snyder, a pediatric urologist at children's hospital in philadelphia, says swan's findings line up with what he's seeing in newborn baby boys-- an alarming increase in deformed sex organs. >> lie him down, and let me just examine him. >> dr. snyder operated on one-year-old griffin to correct something called hypospadias, a birth defect that causes problems in urination. but he's good now, right? >> he's a healthy little guy, who's, i think, going to get through the rest of life just aiming without any difficulty at all. >> that's great. >> we hear that there are more and more and more cas

>> reporter: this is the town of greece, which is a suburb of rochester, new york. a lower court said that the problem is that the town of greece prayers were almost exclusively christian and that was challenged by two residents of the town, one is jewish and one atheist. and they said that they in essence felt compelled to pray. now, the problem is for the supreme court, right across the street here, the congress has opened every session throughout our entire history with a prayer from a paid chaplain. 30 years ago, the supreme court said there's nothing wrong with that in legislatures. the question is, is there something different about these local meetings, where somebody is basically asking for something from the town and told beforehand that they have to join in a prayer that they may disagree with, that they're not going to sit down an not take the prayer because that might offend the very people they're asking for something. here is a hypothetical question that began today's oral argument from justice alana kagan. she said suppose at the beginning of the supr

but everything west of there, west of probably 84, 81, especially through you, pittsburgh, buffalo, rochester, syracuse, that's all snow all the time. >> that looks like a big mess. all right, chad, thank you very much. as chad said, pittsburgh and surrounding areas are already experiencing some flurries. and when all of this stops melting later tonight, it could ice up and get worse. shannon travis has been braving the roads in irwin, pennsylvania, 22 miles southeast of pittsburgh. shannon, how is it looking out there? you don't look too happy right now. >> well, not so happy. if you're one of those folks who think thanksgiving isn't quite the thanksgiving without a little snow, consider this mother nature's gift. we're in irwin, pennsylvania, about 20 miles outside of pittsburgh. interstate 76 goes right into the pittsburgh. as we were driving in, there was nothing but just -- but when we got here, this was this is snow coming down. it isn't coming down so heavy right now but coming down steady. i'm going to use a very unofficial ruler, my finger, but it's getting pretty deep as you can see
