Announcer from nbc news, and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today. Its president s day, monday morning. Carson day ly is in for matt. We have a lot to talk about. We do. So much has changed with the death of Justice Scalia. The flag outside the Supreme Court at halfstaff this morning after this weekends sudden and unexpected death of justice sant Antonin Scalia. Replacing him, of course, will tilt the balance of the Supreme Court. That has ignited a new Election Year battle, and an epic one. We have two reports for you this morning. Well also talk about all of this with republican president ial hopeful jeb bush live in a moment. Lets begin with pete williams, who is at the court this morning. Good morning to you. Savannah, good morning. Its been more than 50 years since the Supreme Court was in this position, facing the all nine justices. That cast a big shadow of uncertainty as the court prepares to take up some of the most controversial cases. Reporter draped in an american flag, the body of Antonin Scalia arrived in virginia late sunday night. The death from an apparent heart attack was a month shy of his 80th birthday at this west texas guest ranch. He was in the company of friends before dying in his sleep in his room. Found himself in a very congenial group. He was surrounded by admirerers of him and his work. Reporter the other reagan appointee said scalia will be remembered for his brilliance. The Supreme Court split, five conservatives and four liberals. With eight justices, it raises the possibility of a 44 tie. A tie leaves the Lower Court Ruling in tact, a victory for among the big cases this term, a tie would maintain tough new texas restrictions on abortion. Possibly encouraging other states to pass similar laws. A 44 vote would leave the legal hold in place on president obamas plan to let 5 million undocumented migrants stay it. It would head off an effort to weaken unions representing public employees, including teachers. If president obama put scalias successor on the court, it would mean a liberal majority. Its never been so clear that the balance of power ied ideologically is affected. Reporter two on the washington, d. C. Court, and a judge in california. Well soon know the funeral arrangements for Justice Scalia. If the family wishes, he could lie in repose in the great hall of the Supreme Court building, just inside the bronze doors at an honor last given to william renquist. Justice scalias death has set off a political battle. Peter alexander has that part of the story. Good morning. Good morning to you. The Court Vacancy is reframing the 2016 campaign. This is now the rarest of president ial elections. One where control of the white house, congress and now the Supreme Court are all in play. In a moment of silence for Justice Scalia. Reporter the moment of silence for Justice Scalia lasted a moment before the political pileon began. We ought to make the 2016 election a referendum on the Supreme Court. I think the real plan for it would be Somebody Just like Justice Scalia. Reporter the now empty seat upping the ante in an already fierce battle for the white house. There is no way the senate should confirm someone that barack obama tries to appoint in reporter Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell arguing it should not be filled until we have a new president. With 11 months left in his term, president obama insists he will nominate a new justice and expects the senate to consider his choice fairly. These are responsibilities i take seriously, as should everyone. Theyre bigger than any one party. They are about our democracy. Reporter if the president sees the third justice, that could give the court its first liberal majority in 40 years. Ted cruz who once was a law clerk vowed to block any obama nominee. Were add vise ing e ing a lame duck couldnt tip the court. Reporter this ad highlights whats at stake. Marriage, civil liberty, were one Supreme Court justice away from losing them all. Reporter fiery feuds in the republican field. Liar, liar, liar. Reporter saturday nights debate, the most combative so far. Highlighted in this exchange between donald trump and jeb bush. Obviously, the war in iraq was a big, fat mistake. It took jeb bush, if you remember, at the beginning of his announcement, when he announced for president , took him five days, he went back. It wasnt a mistake. Wasnt a mistake. Took him five days before his people told him what to say. On this president s day, former president george w. Bush will campaign alongside his brother here for the first time. After that dispute with donald trump this weekend, jeb bush said that trump is no longer invited. In fact, the two men didnt even shake hands after the debate. Savannah . Peter alexander, thank you so much. Republican president ial hopeful governor jeb bush is with us now. Good to see you. Good morning, savannah. I want to make sure i understand your position on this. Senator mcconnell of the nominee put forward by president obama would not get a vote. That it wouldnt come up in the senate. Some of your rivals, namely, ted cruz and marco rubio, seem to support that approach. Where do you come down on it . Do you think a nominee of the president should come for an up or down vote in the senate this year . Its up to Mitch Mcconnell in the senate. Im not a senate and not running for the United States senate. If hes going to take that path, i respect that. What shouldnt happen is in an Election Year, a president in a very divisive kind of time, should nominate someone and have it be passed. There shouldnt be deference to the executive, is my point. Is that a cope out, saying its up to senator mcconnell . Shouldnt you take a position . I am taking a position. If there is an up or down vote, it should be rejected based on the history of how president obama selects judges. If there is no vote, its fine, too. Shouldnt be an Obama Justice shouldnt be appointed in an Election Year. Let it be an important part of the election process. Theres a lot riding on this. The second amendment, religious freedom and other causes important for this country will be determined by this pick. For those saying that there shouldnt be an up or down vote, and i understand youre not necessarily one of them, are they on weak constitutional ground . In other words, you said the other night, youre an article ii guy. It makes clear the president nominates, is senate advices and consents. It doesnt say, except in an Election Year. The president has the right to nominate. That was my point in the debate. The senate has the right to carry out the rules. My point is, irrespective of that, there should not be an appointment based on the record of president obamas selection of judges. Theyre way out of the mainstream. This should be an important point that we have in the election. Im more than happy to litigate that. Im happy to litigate the constitutionality of this case. Let me talk about your campaign. President bush, george w. Bush, will be on the trail with you this morning. Hes made a point to stay out of the political race since he stepped out of office. Was it a hard decision to make . This will be the first time hes gotten involved, and i respect the fact that he has been out of the political fray. Its a good tradition. Like president clinton, i guess, supporting his spouse, and, you know, he wants to help his brother. I dont have a problem with that at all. Im proud of his service. Im proud of my familys service. Im running for president based on my own merits but the fact hes supporting me will add to the primary in South Carolina, for sure. You say youre your own man, but donald trump said it was your brother who, according to trump, lied about weapons of mass destruction. Brothers watch, so didnt keep us safe. And he added there was an economic collapse at the end of the administration that led to the election of barack obama. I guess the question is, by having your brother out on the trail, does this kind of invite that relit litigation of the past . Its interesting that donald trump praises putin and attacks my brother. I think in a South Carolina primary, thats probably the wrong place to be. Did your brother give you any advice for dealing with someone like donald trump . I dont think my brother ever had any experience with dealing with a person like donald trump. Hes a bully and you have to stand up. Im the only guy standing up against him. Hes hijacking the conservative cause by running as a republican. Theres nothing in his past that would suggest he is a republican. I think its important to stand up to him. Do it respectfully, do it with civility, but you cannot allow a bully to take over this party. Governor jeb bush, well be watching today. Thank you for your time this morning.

Flags today at federal buildings are flying at halfstaff on this president s day. Two days after the death of his death leaves a key vacancy on the Supreme Court. Pete williams is at the Supreme Court this morning. Good morning. Natalie, good morning to you. The body of Justice Scalia arrived overnight, draped in an american flag. It came from texas, where he died over the weekend of an apparent heart attack. We dont yet know the funeral arrangements, but if the family wishes, he could lie in repose at the great hall of the Supreme Court building. For now, president obama says he will nominate a successor, but the republicans say that decision should be made by the next president. The court itself is in its midwinter break. The justices return to the bench in a week. For the first time in 50 years, theyll face the busiest part of the term without all nine justices. That raises the prospect that some of the most controversial cases could be decided by a 44 tie, which would be the same as no decision at all. This is a time of uncertainty, both politically and for the court. Natalie . Pete williams at the supreme thank you, pete. The death of Justice Scalia sent shock waves through the president ial campaign. Some republicans including cruz and rubio want the next president to be the one to pick the next justice. Earlier on today, former Florida Governor jeb bush weighed in when he spoke to savannah. If there is an up or down vote, it should be rejected based on the history of how president obama selects judges. If theres no vote, thats fine, too. What im saying is there shouldnt be an Obama Justice should not be apoint pointed in an Election Year. Theres a lot riding on this. Governor bushs brother, former president george w. Bush, will join him on the campaign trail today. Democrat Hillary Clinton says its outrageous some of the campaign trail are talking about blocking any Supreme Court nominee named by president obama. She says the president has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the senate has a responsibility to vote. Agrees that president obama should name the successor, saying in his words, lets get on with it.

But i have to say, is this the first time youve done three different covers . It is, in 52 years. Why did it take so long . This is a genius idea. Ive only been in charge for four years. Why was it important to you to highlight the three different women . I think its a very, very timely moment that were having right now. People are very aware of all the beauty in the world. Sports illustrated is certainly one of the publications. Traveling to every country in the world, practically every continent, i see beauty in all shapes, sizes, forms, everything.

William is here this morning. Glad to be here. This book is a love letter to Leonard Nimoy, isnt it . It is. I loved leonard. We were like brothers. On the general term friendship, how do you make friends, what are friends worth, what is the definition of a friend, and how difficult it seems to me for men to make friends. So how cherished a singular male friend should be. Could be oxytocin, make friends more easily than men, it seems to e me. You write in the book that you didnt initially hit it off as personal friends. Well, theres life is never perfect. No, we had some disagreements to begin with. And in the end. But in between was a brotherhood. I loved it. I thought there was an irony. You write that at first, the star trek conventions, all that that happened after the show, you both were kind of like not sure you wanted to be a part of all that. But it was through doing those appearances that you really bonded. Not as much during the show, but after, that you became close. Thats exactly right. So many shows, i notice for example, you had friends on earlier earlier, thats extraordinary, after the show has been is over. Usually, youre the best friends forever while a show is on, whatever the show is, and then when the show is over, stage, film, series, you say, ill see you tomorrow, and you dont because life takes you apart. In many cases, you never see each other again. In this case, fate threw us appearances. And the films we did. We became very close. You were very different, werent you . Well, they say your cells change every seven years, so thats a lot of changing going on. You were honest in the book because toward the end of his life, you write that you two had a falling out. Youre very honest about it. You say in a certain sense, youre still not really sure what that was all about. Thats true. I have no idea why. So he i thought whatever it was would blow over and hed tell me what it was. I would try to make amends or find common ground. But he died before that could happen. What do you think hed think of this book . Well, this is about how i cherished my relationship with him and how i miss him. Theres no substitute. And theres another thing, and that is when you lose someone you care for, and youve had experiences together, those experiences that you had together no longer have validation. Because the other person is saying, remember when, and you havent anybody to say that with. The experiences themselves disappear. Thats really the reason for the book. You miss him . Yes. 50 years since star trek, can you believe it . Will it be hard to go through the year and people remembering without your friend . Yes. Been. We had the best time on stage with each other. Communicated more on stage, at times, than we did in person. You here. Thank you so much. Glad to be here. The book is called leonard. Up next, is your email inbox out of control . The guide to cleaning up your digital clutter. First, this is today on were back at 8 40. How many unread emails do you have . I dont want to say. There seems to be two distinct groups here. People who have too many emails to count or the ones who keep the number at zero. Either way, you could probably heres more from nbcs joe fryer. Reporter like a good cup of java, our email inboxes are usually filled to the brim. I have 2,254 unread emails. Reporter just ask anyone sitting in a coffee shop. 3,158 unread emails. It looks a lot worse. Reporter all that clutter used to pile up on our desks. Now, its clogging up phones and computers, wasting our time. Email has the ability to suck our will to live. Reporter professional organizer beth knows that well. When people come to you with their overflowing email boxes, i mean, do they feel a sense of hopelessness . People come to me very overwhelmed and frustrated. They dont know what to do but they want a way out of it. Reporter her company, bneato bar, offers services on digital clutter, including naked inbox. What is this email . Reporter she tells clients to first take a sample of their email. Physical stuff, were going to start at the top and work our way down. Reporter to gain control, she suggests using an app called unroll. Me, which unsubscribes from messages you dont want and combines your favorite subscriptions into one email delivered daily. From there, its easy to focus on incoming emails. If you can respond to a message in less than two minutes, go ahead. If you cant, put it in a special todo folder. These are the things youre going to tackle today. We want to get the email out of the inbox. Reporter once youve dealt with an email, delete it or archive it. Is the goal to have a zero email mailbox . Maybe for a split second. Were always going to get more. Reporter here comes the hard part. She says to try to check your email less often. No more than five times a day. It can take 16 minutes to refocus after dealing with an email. That stat showed 28 of our work writing emails. If we are constantly in our email inbox, we are never getting any good work done. Reporter photos are another form of digital clutter, sucking up all the storage in our phones. She recommends using Google Photos or dropbox to store and organize pics in the cloud. You can also dump some of the phone apps. Research says we only use 27 apps a month, but have far more on our devices. I think i actually have three or four todo lists, organizing apps on my phone, none of which i use. Let those go, absolutely. Reporter this might sound daunting. You wish it was zero but who has the time . Reporter she says its not hopeless. Take baby steps. This is going to be your new life. Why rush it and burn out . Lets take our time. Reporter consider it a home ec lesson, sweeping away the digital clutter in your life. News, los angeles. I just erased six apps during you did . I was inspired. Oh, my gosh. Impressive. Its a start, carson. Im good without the apps. We need help. How many do you have . 77,000 and i have 11,000. You make me feel better. Work on that, ladies. This might help. Up next, we have a delicious, spicy stew youre going to love. Bone in stew. Yes. Were going to enjoy that right after this. Were back at 8 46.
