It will be the first time for all eight they will serve without Justice Scalia. I Antonin Scalia, do solemnly swear. Reporter for 30 years, the courts most forceful and influential voice. His sudden death will have an Immediate Impact on the current term, full of controversial cases, regulation of abortion clinics, another challenge to obama care, affirmative actionng and College Admissions and president ial power on immigration. With scalia, the court had a narrow conservative majority. Now its a court on pause. Many of those cases will end up in a 44 tie, keeping the Lower Court Ruling in place and setting no nationwide precedent. But his passing will affect thenwid institution far beyond one term. He was one of nine justices, but his impact on the court and the law was far greater than act single vote. His opinions were must reads for his clear, colorful writing, like his dissent calling a decision uphold part of pure applesauce. His philosophy that judges should interpret the constitution the way it was originally understood defined the conservative legal movement. I think its up to the judge to say what the constitution provided, even if what it provided is not the best answer. Wer. Even if you think it should be amended. If thats what it says, thats what it says. Hes done so much to set the terms of how the court h approaches issues. Reporter paul clementis clerked for scalia in the 1993 term. As a lawyer hes argued 80 cases before the court and said scalias lively and often sharp questions forever changed the Court Dynamics on the bench. Nc his very first case, he started asking lots and lots of questions, and even some of the justices who had been there for years, they looked and said, were not going to let this new guy ask all the questions. Its fundamentally changed the nature of arguing before the Supreme Court. Several big arguments on the horizon, including the Abortion Case and the immigration case. And it could reschedule some of these cases to be argued next term, but, scott, its unclear whether there will even be a justice on the court at that point. Pelley jan crawford reporting for us tonight. Jan, thank you. On well, the delay jan just mentioned is exactly what the Senate Republican leadership has in mind. Insisting that the nomination be postponed for nearly a year, when a new president is in office. But today, president obama wast discussing privately who will beng his next pick. It would be his third. Margaret brennan is with mr. Obama at a southeast asianan summit meeting that hes hostinge in rancho mirage, california. Reporter mr. Obama could make his pick as soon as next week, but electionyear politics in an alreadydivided washington make his decision complicated. The president will need at least 14 republican senators to move some republican backing, mr. Obama could choose a candidate who has already won senate approval. Some names that fit that bill 63yearold merrick garland, the chief judge on the d. C. Circuit court. 48yearold Sri Srinivasan also sits on that court. He would be first Indian American justice. And 51yearold former public defender jane kelly, a harvard law classmate of the president. Or he could make a bold choice, like attorney general loretta lynch. So help me god. H. Reporter who had to waitor more than 160 days before she was confirmed for her current position. R the administration argues that history is on its side and points to the confirmation of Justice Anthony kennedy as an example. Nominated by president reagan, kennedy was confirmed during thee 1988 Election Year by a democratic senate. Of course, in that case, it took three tries before the president s pick actually wonn confirmation. Scott, this time the white House Republicans in congress to try to grease the wheels for their nominee. Pelley margaret, thanks very much. Margaret mentioned the history. Et and in fact, it would be rare for the senate to turn the president down in an Election Year. In the 20th century, the senate voted on seven Supreme Court nominees during Election Years, and it approved all but one. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. I intend to make 2016 a01 referendum on the u. S. Supreme court. Reporter it took roughly three hours for scalias passingurs to become a Major Campaign issue. The president , under our constitution, has a duty to sendh forth a name to be considered by the senate, and the senate has a duty to consider that. Reporter on capitol hill, republicans on the Pivotal Senate judiciary committee, from s ted cruz to lindsey graham, vowed to block virtually any nominee, calling the president a lame duck. This will probably be left up reporter democrats like new Yorks Chuck Schumer argued president obama still has nearly a year left in his term. When you go right off the bat and say, i dont care who he nominates, i am going to oppose him, thats not going to fly. Reporter but schumer felt differently in the final year of president george w. Bushs term when he argued democrats should block bush nominees because, the Supreme Court was already dangerously out of balance. There isnt much precedent for a fight like this. Congress has never taken more than 125 days to vote on a Supreme Court nominee. But legal scholar jonathanat turley says this time could be different. Conservatives clearly despise president obama, and they revere Justice Scalia. Its a bad mix. Mi so you will have a Battle Royale no matter who is appointed. Reporter some republicans have told me they would be opene to considering a consensus choice, but they havent been able to give me any names of whoe scott, thats because even a moderate nominee would end up pulling the court to the left of where it has been. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill. Nancy, thank you. Well, saturday nights Republican Debate on cbs drew 13. 5 million viewers, thats the most of any debate in 2016.

Th reporter on twitter, jebduri bush accused trump of trafficking in 9 11 conspiracy theories, amplifying this defense of his brother during saturdays cbs debate. While donald trump was building a reality tv show, my brother was building a securityui apparatus to keep us safe. We had the worst attack ever. Wo by the way, after that we did okay. Thats meaning the team scored 19 runs in the first inning, but after that we played well. Reporter another trump rival, ted cruz, said the g. O. P. Frontrunner had gone off the deep end. I mean, he was just going on and on about how im the most horrible person in the world because i keep repeating the things he said. I have never, ever met a cruz. If nothing else president bush drew the biggest crowd jeb has seen on the campaign trail. Elsewhere, scott, trump threatened to sue cruz over his eligibility to run for the white house and once again hinted he might run as an independent if he doesnt secure the republican nomination.
