Good evening. The unexpected death of u. S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is reshaping the 2016 race for the white house. Only three supreme Court Justices have died in office in more than 60 years, and only one has been confirmed during an Election Year since 1940. Some gop president ial hopefuls are questioning president obamas established executive authority to nominate a replacement during this election season. However, the president has already said it will happen but in due time. Kelly odonnell is at the white house tonight and starts us off. Reporter today the silent display of respect across washington. But no pause before the clash of politics. There is no way the senate should confirm anyone that barack obama tries to appoint in his last year in office to a lifetime appointment. [ applause ] reporter an instant power struggle over a successor to Justice Scalia. Let me just make one point barack obama is president of the United States until january 20th, 2017. Good evening, everybody reporter president obama made clear he will nominate a new justice and expects the senate to consider his choice fairly. These are responsibilities that i take seriously, as should everyone. Theyre bigger than any one party. They are about our democracy. Reporter if the president gets to seat his third just, that change would make third justice, that change would make the court more liberal. Compounding the shock of scalias sudden passing is the timing. A campaign year. We ought to make the 2016 election a referendum on the Supreme Court. Reporter republican candidate ted cruz had been a law clerk for chief justice rehnquist. Now as a senator, he intends to block any obama nominee. Were advising that a lame duck president in an Election Year is not going to be able to tip the balance of the Supreme Court. Reporter democrats are already calling out cruz. Ted cruz holds the constitution when he walks through the halls of congress. Let him show me the clause that says the president s only president for three years. Reporter with fewer senate votes, democrats may have to take their fight for an Obama Court Pick to the campaign trail, as well. I just dont think it looks good that for very overtly political reasons that the republicans would deny this president the right to exercise his constitutional responsibility which is to appoint members to the Supreme Court. Reporter for some gop candidates and republican senators, their opposition goes beyond the idea of simply voting down anyone the president might choose. They say there should be no confirmation process, no vetting, no hearing, no vote at all. Thomas . Kelly odonnell at the white house. Thank you. And the death of just scalia also raises questions about how the court might decide a number of key cases this term from abortion rights to affirmative action. We get more on scalias death and its impact from our justice correspondent, pete williams. Reporter as in the rest of the nation, Justice Scalias death is being mourned in texas where he died saturday at this guest ranch popular with fellow bird hunters of an apparent heart attack. He had obviously passed away with no difficulty at all, middle of the night. It was that was our first message for the family. Reporter a Catholic Priest from a nearby church was summoned to administer last rites. Justice scalias colleagues on the court praised a towering intellect. Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, we were best buddies, adding, he had a rare talent to make even a sober judge laugh. Clarence thomas said, it is hard to imagine Court Without my friend. I will miss him baund all measure. The court often divided 54 along ideological lines on big cases, Justice Scalias death leaves eight justices and the possibility of tie votes 44. If theres a tie, theres no outcome at the Supreme Court. The Lower Court Ruling stands. Its as if the Supreme Court never heard the case. Reporter a tie vote would leave rulings intact that block president obamas plan to let five million undocumented migrants stay here. A tie would mean the tough new texas restrictions on abortion would remain, possibly inspiring other states to enact similar laws. A tie would be a boost to the financial strength of unions representing teachers and other public employees. If a democratic president appointed a successor to the conservative scalia, that would tilt the court the other way to a majority of liberal justices. If president obama were able to put another justice on the court, he would cement a leftist majority on the court for the next generation or so. Reporter among potential nominees mentioned in legal circles, s srisrinivasan, indian american, patricia millet on the d. C. Court of appeals, and paul wattford from california. The justices will be back on the bench for n a week and will face the prospect of finishing without a full court for the first time in more than 50 years. Peter . Pete williams reporting for us at the Supreme Court. Thank you. The death of scalia and emerging battle over choosing and confirming the next justice, the republican president ial candidates were questioned about a number of other key and divisive issues in their debate last night in south carolina.

The World Trade Center came down during your brothers reign. Remember that. [ boos ] reporter marco rubio trying to rebound from his last debate came to bushs defense today blaming 9 11 on bill clintons decision tnot to take out bin laden. It allowed isis to prosper and by 2001 have the ability to strike america. Reporter they clashed over immigration. At one point cruz took wish something rubio had said in a Spanish Language interview. I dont know how he knows what i said on univision because he doesnt speak spanish. Second of all [ speaking spanish ] reporter cruz also pounced on trump for what he called the billionaires past liberal positions. You are the single biggest liar. You probably are worse than jeb bush. Are you the single biggest liar. Donald has this weird pattern. When you point to his own record, he screams, liar, liar, liar. Reporter striking a different tone, john kasich. I got to tell you, this is just crazy. This is just nuts, okay. [ applause ] geez, oh man. I think were fixing to lose the election to Hillary Clinton if we dont stop this. [ applause ] reporter tonight, there seems to be no stopping trump. I think it was probably my best performance. Reporter in a state where politics is a contact sport. The gop primary here is just six days away. Tomorrow, hoping to capitalize on his familys popularity in south carolina, jeb bush will be joined on the campaign trail by his brother, george w. Bush, and the former first lady tomorrow.
