Paula reid is in washington with the latest tonight. Good evening, paula. Reporter i cant hear the broadcast. Has it started . Axelrod were having a little trouble with paula right now. This evening, chief Justice John Roberts released a statement saying scalia was an extraordinary individual and jurist who was admired and treasured by his colleagues. Roberts added, scalias passing is a great loss to the court and to the country he served. Among Justice Scalias most important decisions, he cast a crucial vote in bush v. Gore the case, of course, that made george w. Bush president in 2000, despite his ideological opposition to the perspectives of colleagues like justices ginsberg, and kagan, he was held in high esteem by them. We will pring in our chief legal right now. Jan, the Supreme Court is scheduled to go back into session a week from monday, so how does the court move forward . Reporter i mean, i think thats one of those almost unimaginable questions. When you think about that seat that Justice Scalia has held now for 30 years being empty and the role he played on that Supreme Court and the impact he had on the law. Of course, you know, this sparkling intellect, this conservative icon, not always able to persuade even the more conservative justices to go along with him, but always sticking to his guns, willing to write separate dissents, arguing that the law actually should be turning, in a conservative direction. And now, of course, getting that majority on the Supreme Court many times to go along with him. His absence on this court captain be overstated because it will change potentially the balance of the Supreme Court. Is narrowly divided 54, five conservatives, four liberals. Justice scalia, of course, of course being that conservative icon. His passing now means the court will be four to four, so the next president or the current president could well change the direction of the Supreme Court. The question i think youre going to be seeing now in the next days and weeks is will president obama be appointing his third justice to the United StatesSupreme Court or will this wait for the next president . Already, youre seeing conservatives argue that we should wait. Senate majority leader mcconnell calling for this appointment to be made by the next president. Youre going to hear democrats saying thats too long. Thats a year. I think that will be the next real fight youll see, starting right away, jim. Axelrod all right, jan crawford, an awful lot to keep our eye on coming of the death of the Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. We want to go right now to paula reid. Death of Antonin Scalia whose body was found this morning. Paula, what you can tell us . Senior u. S. Supreme Court Associate JusticeAntonin Scalia has died of Natural Causes at a ranch in southwest texas. He on an annual trip to the state, spending time with friend, when he did not come down for breakfast he was a devote dwout catholic and sources confirm that a priest from the El Paso Diocese was called to administer last rites. Justice scalia was one of the most influential minds on the court. He led a conservative renaissance. Texas governor gregg abbott reflects on how his faith informed his legal opinions. His faith was part of his decisionmaking progress, certainly in interpreting the First Amendment of the constitution. Reporter in a statement, the court said, his passing is a agreement loss to the court and the country he so loyally served. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, maureen, and his family. He is survived by nine children and numerous grandchildren. His passing this afternoon, and the white house said the president may have additional reaction later today. Axelrod paul athank you very much. As we mentioned at the top of the broadcast, chief Justice Roberts had confirmed the death of scalia and said at the time he was an extraordinary individual, jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues. A fiery conservative, scalia appointed in 1986 by president ronald reagan. As a justice, scalia was a leading advocate for a strict interpretation of the constitution. And known for his theatrical flare in the courtroom. His rigid conservatism and jabs directed at colleagues were well known. His sharply worded dissents and caustic attacks on liberal notions had an influence on a generations of young conservatives. He had a deep effect on the law. Born in trenton, new jersey, raised in queens, the son of italian immigrants was a high at Georgetown University and got his law degree at harvard. He issued thundererous dissents when the court upheld the right to abortion and in 2003 when it struck down the laws that targeted gays and lesbians. Scalia came under fire last december when he made controversial comments about an affirmative action case at the university of texas at austin. He said what may have been his most important majority in what may have his most important jamadaya jort opinion, scalia spoke for the court in 2008, declaring for the first time that the Second Amendment gave americans the right to own a gun for selfdefense. He always played a key role in a series of 54 decisions that struck down Campaign Finance laws, and said all americans, including corporations and unions ha free speech right to ads. Scalias death is expected to change the tone of tonights Republican Debate in south carolina. Major garrett, who is on the cbs news debate panel, joins us now from south carolina. Major, what are the candidates saying in the immediate aftermath of news the justify scalias passing . Reporter jim, when he was on the high court, justice schaefs a passioned defender of free speech in all of its forms. Its not surprising the very first candidate reaction came on twitter, a social Media Communication device not oinl unimaginable to scalia when he was appointed but for most of his time on the high court. Donald trump tweeted as follows, to the totally unexpected loss of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia is a massive setback for the conservative movement and our country. Ted cruz also on twitter, scalia was an american here pope we owe it to him and the nation for the senate to ensure that the next president , not president obama, but the next president name his replacement. Marco rubio, john kasich, ands have also reacted in ways you might expect. That most conservatives in fact all conservatives revere scalia as a passionate defender not only of free speech but original intent of the constitution and relied on his brilliance as a writer of opinions on the Supreme Court to not only guide the Supreme Court but to inform the conservative movement writ large in this country. So in that sense, this casts an enormous pall over want proceedings here in greenville. Axelrod major, that could go a couple of ways, i suppose. It could not only change the content of whats discussed, but also the tone in which its discussed. Reporter certainly. And i will tell you our debate team was prepared to ask all of these candidates their or yepitation to the Supreme Court, what characteristics they would look for in a potential nominee, because even before Justice Scalias shocking pazzing, it was anticipated that the next president of the United States would have one, two, possibly three vacancies. So that was an issue that we were going to raise anyway. It now takes on much greater significance tonight. Also brupgz up the issue of the the american presidency and being able to deal with those and respond to them on the fly. Lastly, it may actually on the podiums tonight, jim, change the atmosphere. Candidates who might have come to this debate before the news of scalias passing with an intent to mix if up a bit more aggressively might lay back a little bit because they dont want to appear to be taking advantage of this very somber moment of national unity.
