Onlylyhree supreme coururjustices have died in office in more than 60 years, and only one has been confirmed duringngn electiononear since 1940. Me gop president ial hopefuls are questioning president obamas established executive authority too nominate aeplacement during this election season. Wever, the president has already said it will happen but in dueue time. Kekey o oonnell is at e white house night and starts us off. Reporter today the silent display of respect across washington. Bubu no pause before the clash of politics. Thehe is no way the senate shoulul confirm anyone that barack obama tries to appoint in hisisast year i i appointment. [ applause ] reporter an over a succeceor to Justice Scalia. Let me just make one point barack obama is president of the United States until january 20th, 2017. Good eveneng, everybody reporter presisint obama made clear he jujuice and expects the senate tooonsider his choice fairly. These are responsibilities that i take seriously, as should eveveone. Theyre bigger than any one party. They are about our dedecracy. Reportete if the president gets to s st his third just, that change would make third justice, that change wouou make the court mororliberal. Compoundingghe shock of scalias sudden passing is the timing. A campaign year. We oughtht to make the 2016 electionn referendum on the Supreme Court. Reporter republican candidate ted cruz had been a law clerk for chief stice 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. T t cruz holds the constitution when he walks through the halls of congress. Let t m show me the clause thaha says the president s only president for three years. Reporter with fewer senate votes, democrats may havav to an Obama Court Pick to the campaign trail, as well. I just dont think it looks good that for very overtly political reasons t tt the republicics would deny this president the right to exercise his constitutional responsibility which is to appoint members to the supreme c crt. Reporter for somee gop candidates and repupuican senators, eir opposition goes beyond the idea of simply voting downn anyone the president might choose. They say there should be no confirmation ocess, no vetting, no hearing, no vote at all. Thomas . Kelly odonnene at the white house. Thank you. And the deaththf juststcalia also raises questions about how t t court might decide a number of key cases thiss 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 thehe rest of the nation, Justice Scalias death is being mournrn in texas where he died saturday at this guest ranchhopular with fellow bird hunters of an apparent heart attack. Passed awawawith no difficulul at all, middle of the night. It was that was our family. Reporter a Catholic Priest from a arby church was summoned to administer last riris. Justice s slias colleagues on the court praiseded towering intellect. Ruth Bader Ginsburg id, we were best buddies, adding, he had a rare talent to make even a sober Clarence Thomas said, iiis hard to i igine Court Without my friend. I will miss him b bnd all measure. The court often divided 54 along ideological lines on big cases, justicece scalias death leaves eight justices and the possibility of tieie 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 tooet five million undocumented migrants stay hehe. A tie would mean the tough new texas abortion would remain, possibly inspiring other states to enact similar laws. A tie would be a boost to the financial strength of unions representing teacherer andd other public employees. If a democratiti president appointed a successor to the conservative scalia, that would tilt the court the other way to a majorityyf liberal justices. If president obama were able to put another justice on the court, he would cememt a leftist majority on the court for the next generation or so. Reporter among potential nominees mentioned in legal circles, sri sri srinivasan, indian american, patricia millet on n e 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 o o finishing without a full court for the first time in more than 50 years. Peter .
