senator tom carper of delaware was sitting next to murphy. his staff says he got off the train in wilmington not long before it crashed. a team of federal investigators will work this morning to determine what exactly happened. joining us now from philadelphia, msnbc's adam reiss. and adam do we know if everyone is accounted for at this time? >> reporter: luke good morning. unfortunately, no. the mayor says he cannot be sure at this hour whether or not everybody has been accounted for, and that's why we saw a search dog go in we saw firefighters with the jaws of life. those are hydraulics that can actually open twisted metal to see if in fact there are people still inside one of these train cars. the train left the 30th street station in philadelphia about 9:15 last night. it made its way to this curve north of philadelphia at about 9:28, and that's when the derailment happened. all seven cars off the rails. three of them turned upside down. complete twisted wreckage. i was up there earlier this evening, and it was just a sight to behold trai

the first is picking up on the point from senator carper in the introduction. if we look at how the courts have responded to climate change issues since 2007 since massachusetts versus epa, we have had a lot of direction from the supreme court, the d.c. circuit, the ninth circuit. what the courts have told us they take climate change extremely seriously, what i might think of it. the courts have expressed that they view climate change as a paramount policy concern. they have been highly deferential not only to epa but to the states when they have engaged in creative mechanisms to use old and outdated tools to address the modern climate change. the courts have been recognized and they won't look at this in a political or a policy vacuum. the courts will consider that when they look at the gel of what epa is doing here. the other countervailing side, it will be what the epa is doing under the clean air act. and what i'm talking about the many legal issues the one that will get the most attention from the court is something you have heard about several times by no
