Kristine johnson of our new york station wcbs is replacing her. Washington is bracing for a huge fight over scalias successor. His Supreme Court colleagues remember scalia as a giant legal his death on saturday sparked an architect over the feat in the high court. We begin with jan crawford who is outside the Supreme Court in washington. Reporter good morning. The flags here at the Supreme Court this morning as you can see are flying at half hand staff for Justice Scalia. People here at this court just cannot imagine what its going to be like without him. I mean, he was known for his sharp intellect and his offensive sharp tongue and his sudden death will leave this court split for conservatives and for liberals. Justice scalias views on the constitution influenced a generation. Im a law and order guy. I mean, i confess. Im a social conservative but it does not affect my views on on cases. Reporter a native of trenton, new jersey, who grew up in queens, new york, scalia served on Supreme Court nearly 30 years. The currents court longest serving justice. Nominated by president reagan he one month shy of his 80th birthday he died on this trip to a ranch in texas. A county judge declared him dead by Natural Causes. His family declined to have an autopsy performed. Even on the nations highest court, scalia often dominated oral argues. If its a question of civil rights or Civil Liberties is what im there for. Paul met with scalia in 1993 and argued 80 cases before hm. Him. If you were a lawyer arguing in front of him and he thought your argument was hogwash, he would tell you that. Reporter despite his conservative views, scalia had deep friendships with liberal justices and notably Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who shared she called him a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh. I could be charming and combative at the same time. What is contradictory between the two . I love to argue. Ive always loved to argue. Reporter now one of his most significant decisions was that landmark ruling in the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. But, you know, he often was in dissent and he always said he hope he wouldnt be known nelson for his majority decisions but for changing the way that we think about the court and the law and interpret the constitution and, kristine, he certainly did thichlt sure did. In the meantime, president obama is in california to host a summit meeting with asian leaders and that event is being overshadow by Justice Scalias death. Also the political fight that is sure to come when the president i plan to fulfill my Constitutional Responsibilities to nominate a successor in due time. There will be plenty of time for me to do so and for the senate to fulfill its responsibility to give that person a fair hearing and a timely vote. Margaret brennan is traveling with the president in rancho mirage, california. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, white house officials expect a nasty battle with Congressional Republicans who have already threatened to delay or defeat any nominee that president obama picks. But history could be on the administrations side here. Since 1900, six Supreme Court justices have been confirmed in president ial Election Years. That could stir president obama to make a bold choice of a judge who could face a tough confirmation or the president sitting appellate judge. Some names that fit that bill, chief judge of korpts Merrick Garland and jane kelly and sri convenient knee vassan who have unanimously passed national confirmations. White house Officials Say it would be irresponsible to leave this post on the Supreme Court vacant. You should expect the president to make a decision in the next 30 days possibly as soon as next week. The republicans who want to replace the president say that is the right move. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where democrats are fighting back and supporting the white house. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Supreme court confirm medications are high drama during the best of times and this is not the best of times. You have a democratic president trying to replace a conservative even though he has got nearly a year left in his term, republicans argue his time is up. I do not believe the president should appointment someone someone. Its called delay, delay, delay. Reporter the two sides took their battle position within hours of scalias death. Barack obama is president of the United States until january 20th, 2017 that is a fact, my friends. Whether the republicans like it or not. Reporter the senates republican leader Mitch Mcconnell said this vacancy should not be fill until we have a new president and mcconnell gets to control who gets the vote and when. Nobody should be surprised how i feel. Reporter South Carolina republican Lindsey Graham and many others got hinedbehind him. Youre not hedging your bets a republican would come into the office and appoint a new reporter graham sits on the judiciary committee. So is orrin hatch. This president will not appoint any one who is dangerous for our country. Reporter Top Democrats calledobstructionism. I dont care who we nominate i am going to pose him, that is not going to fly. These confirm medications is a blood court. This one is going to be apocalyptic. Reporter john kerley. Confirm you. You will have dozens of groups who will tear into you to make sure that you are unconfirmable. The odds are that most nominees would come out of this process damaged good, and, likely, not reporter he says if the president were replacing a liberal pick, then republicans might let that nominee go through. Talking about a choice that could change the very balance of the Supreme Court. Charlie, there is almost nothing that legislators up here take more seriously than that. Lets go back to jan crawford who has covered the Supreme Court for more than 20 years. Jan, so what can the president do if the Senate Republicans are united in saying we are not even going to entertain this idea . Reporter very little, charlie. People talk about, well, elections have consequences. Here is another example of elections having consequences in that u. S. Senate. Senate republicans have an enormous amount of power to block this nomination. Actually, not even get it out of the Senate Judiciary committee. His pulpit is going to be the political one. He is going to be out there with his allies beating the drum. The republicans need to do this but he cant make them. Jan, i am fascinated how this will affect the sixth big cases that are in the courts docket this term from abortion, rights and affirmative rights and immigration. What impact does scalias death have on those . Reporter this is a term that is chock full of controversy, as you just pointed out. We expected those cases to be divided along idea logical lines. Most of the cases will end up a tie so the Lower Court Decision would stand. That means there is not going to really be a National Precedent on all of these issues. They could reargue the cases next year, but maybe not. So it really is unclear what any of those holdings would mean in some kind of a sweeping sense. Jan, we did hear from margaret that president obama has a short list to replace Justice Scalia. Any such thing as a noncontroversial nominee at this point . Reporter no, no, there is not. That is an easy no. I cant see anyone getting confirmed right now. Fascinating. Justice scalia was known for his sharp mind and often sharper critique. An example of last years dissent of holding up obamacare. He said it was jiggerypokery and called one element of the argument pure applesauce. I asked him in 2008 in my pbs program how his colleagues viewed his style. Do they ever come to you and say, yes . Yes. And if a colleague has any objection to what ive said, ill take it out. Reporter as a respect for the institutional . The colleague, the person, yeah. If somebody come to me and said its over the top to say this will result in more battlefield deaths, i probably would have taken it. Reporter this is a group of people who like, admire, accept the differences and are looking for the common good as they see it. I consider every one of them some closer than others, but which ones the closer ones have nothing to do with which ones agree with my philosophy. Forever. He was such a good man and introduce himself to people as tony. Not as justice. He was such a good man and a beautiful wife andhe left but he was best friends with those on the right. Like opposites attract. We will look back at another conversation i had with Justice Scalia next hour. Also with us in studio 57 is david bowes. Plus how scalia put differences aside from the bench. That that is ahead. Donald trump holds a big lead this morning in South Carolina republican primary. Jeb bush hopes to boost his Campaign Today with a big rally featuring his brother, former president george w. Bush. Major garrett is in charleston with how the race has taken a new shape from saturdays fiery debate. Reporter the timing of president bushs appearance here could not be more timely. Why 2018 president bush was lying about the iraq war and all of those long dormant accusations dredged up this weekend by the current republican frontrunner donald trump. We would have been so much better off if bush and the rest of them went to the beach and didnt do anything. Reporter on face the nation, Donald Trump Backed away from accusations that george w. Bush minute late fears of weapons of mass destruction if you use that as a make up for sins from previous years its a lie. Maybe its true and maybe it isnt. Reporter at a cbs debate on saturday, trump put it this way. I want to tell you, they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none. They knew there were none. Reporter trump quickly rejected jeb bushs defense of his brothers record. While donald trump was building a reality tv show, my brother was building a Security Apparatus to keep us safe and im proud of what he did. The World Trade Center came down go after my brother. Hold on. Reporter in state where the bush name remains popular an antitrump super pac is using it against him. Many who thought rubio won the game. The World Trade Center came down because bill clinton didnt kill Osama Bin Laden when he had you are a liar. You are probably worse than jesh bush jeb bush. Donald, adults learn not to interrupt. Yeah, yeah, right. Million. All right. Give me a break. This is just nuts, okay . Geez, oh, man reporter trump has a big lead here, but its taking nothing for grant. Campaigning here continuously until saturdays primary with multiple events each day. 2 30 press conference here the primary. Thank you, major. Good job on saturday as well. Face the nation host John Dickerson served as the moderator for saturdays debate and is in washington. Good morning. Great job as well on saturday. Boy, it was nasty, pretty vicious. Does how much does this have an carolina . Model of being friends with people with whom you disagree. The debate will probably sharpen, obviously, peoples views about the candidates, but i think theres still sometime before that vote for things to settle out differently. I think what came out of the debate is probably that everybody reconfirmed what they already believed, although marco rubio, who had some repair work to do from his last debate performance did well and jeb bush who was hoping to capitalize on the familys relationships in South Carolina also seems to have gotten quite good reviews from his performance. What do we expect from president bush . Rally the familys support in that state. You remember, he beat john mccain there by 12 points after having lost to him by 18 in New Hampshire in 2000. There is a lot of history of the bush family there. I think also it is an argument for the standards, the oldfashioned standards of duty and participating in the political process and giving some of which have been supplemented in this debate so far in the president ial process, where outsiders are favorable and anybody who has been in politics is seen as not worthy. John, how do you think scalias death will impact this race . Well, i think it gives both sides and all of the interest groups. Supreme court touches on the hot button issues. It energizes everyone. And when you think about it as a fundraising mechle inging mechanism, if the president offers somebody up and there is a debate and the senate doesnt actually sit on it, every Fundraising Group will have a reason to go to their donors your specific issue you care so much about is under threat in fa nominee goes one way or another or gets into the court. Everybody on the sidelines, if they werent already energized, a reason to be now. Both in the president ial connect and in terms of who actually replaces scalia. Thank you, john.

And wouldnt that mean all sorts of wooden legmaking opportunities for wooden leg makers . And wouldnt those new leg makers own phones from which they could quickly and easily secure mortgages of their own, further stoking demand for necessary Household Goods as our tidal wave of ownership floods the country with new homeowners, who now must own other things and isnt that the power of america itself now shrunk to fit the hands of a child, or, more helpfully, a homebuying adult.
