Reporter after last nights blowout win in new york. We had a great evening. Really a great evening. Reporter donald trump nomination virtually over. Im about 300 delegates ahead of lying ted. Reporter Paul Manafort told us he is about finished assembling a new Campaign Team and predicted trump would win the nomination and do so with delegates to spare. Trump is the only candidate who could mathematically secure the 1237 delegates necessary to win the nomination outright. Ted cruz said today he would stop that from happening and force a contested convention. I am not going to reach 1237. Reach 1237. Cruz called john kasich a spoiler who may be auditioning to become trumps runningmate. Kasich told us he would never join a trump ticket. And was not dropping out. We are very upbeat here in looking forward to moving forward. Rnc chairman Reince Priebus called donald trump, to congratulate him on a new york victory, a courtesy extended to scott, the two were unable to smooth over differences over rnc rules and delegate allocations or decide if there will be any more president ial debates. How does this change the race . Joining us from washington, john dickerson, cbs news political director and anchor of face the nation. John, how does the delegate map shape up for trump now after new york . So far, donald trump has 844 delegates. To lock in the nomination at 1,237 delegates. Thats the majority, hell need to get 52 of the remaining delegates in contests coming up. And some of them are quite favorable to him. Connecticut, maryland, pennsylvania, rhode island and new jersey. But, he is going to have to perform at the top of his game if he is going to clear that 1,237 pledge delegate threshold. 1,237 being the number, but, it could be less than that . He could clinch with less than that . There is some wiggle room. There will be about 100, little more than 100 unpledged delegates who will go to the convention in cleveland with no allegiance to anyone. If donald trump is short of the 1,237 mark, he could convince some of those unpledged delegates to come his way and give him the majority on the first ballot. It is also possible, that there could be some credentials challenges that take delegates away from his total though. So wiggle room could go either way. Lot of horse trading yet to do. What about the democrats . Hillary clinton she has 1,425 pledged delegates. If you add her lead with the pledged delegates to the superdelegates where she has 502 to Bernie Sanders 38, she would only need to win 27 of the remaining delegates to reach the democrats magic number which is 2,383. For sanders, he would need 73 of the remaining delegates. Last primary is june 7. John dickerson we will be watching you on face the thank you. So do the police have the right to order you to take a blood alcohol test . The Supreme Court took up that question today and jan crawford is there. Reporter blood and breath tests have become a key tool in fighting drunk driving. But are police now going too far . Typically the government can suspend a suspected drunk drivers license for refusing to take a blood alcohol test. But 14 states now impose harsher criminal penalties. Police can perform the test without a warrant and lock up those who refuse. Government attorney kathy keena. Specially in the smaller jurisdictions where there are requiring them to get a warrant in every situation. Not only is it public, Public Safety on the road going to be affected. Just public saety in general. Sympathetic. Justice sam aleto, the reason to a blood alcohol test they dont want their blood alcohol measured. Other justices were troubled especially by laws that can force someone to take a blood test. Justice Sonja Sotomayor called the laws a drastic change. Dewey dispense with an important requirement in our law that before you search particularly the inside of a person with a needle or intrusive way that you get a warrant.

I think, Harriet Tubman will tell a story about what an individual can do to change the course of history. Reporter this wasnt the original idea. The treasury secretary planned for a woman to join Alexander Hamilton on the 10.
