Im craig melvin. Happy valentines day to you. Well get to the dangerous wicked weather in a moment. The big story yesterday afternoon, the late word that Justice Antonin Scalia had died. It camed as ed as a shock because it was so unexpected. Justice Antonin Scalia was 79. We have full coverage from his legacy on the court to that looming battle now in washington over who will take his seat. We begin this morning with Nbcs Jay Gray who is in texas, outside the ranch where scalia died. Jay, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. Before sunrise here and we are learning more about Justice Scalias death here at this resort and ranch. We know that scalia traveled to west texas friday and attended a party here with about 40 guests friday evening. When he didnt show up for concerned staff went to his room where they found him unresponsive. Local Law Enforcement, u. S. Marshals and fbi agents were all called in. Investigators say there are no signs of foul play here, and that scalia likely died of, quote, Natural Causes. A devout catholic, authorities ushered in a priest to perform last rites, and school whys alias body was moved to alpine nearby and with Police Escort transported more than 200 miles to a funeral home in el paso. Scalias family is expected to travel to el paso later today. At this point, no information about a memorial or a Funeral Service for the Supreme Court justice. Erica . Jay gray in texas for us this morning. Thank you. Justice scalia was a giant on the bench, the most conservative voice of all of the justices and his death already set up a fight over the next justice. Well get to that in a moment. First, nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams has a look back at scalias life and legacy. Good morning. Certainly the most outspoken conservative, Justice Scalia seemed to be in Robust Health so his death comes as a hugely unexpected blow. He was a justice with a powerful intellect and his death means the Supreme Court has lost its most outspoken conservative. I Antonin Scalia do solemnly swear given what a controversial figure he came, nominated by ronald reagan, it surprises some to know he was confirmed unanimously, 980. The nations first italianamerican justice soon staked out a position as a steadfast conservative, against affirmative action and hiring and School Admissions and an opponent of abortion rights. He said the landmark case of roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, that it declared rights the nations founders never intended. Nobody ever thought that they had been included in the rights contained in the bill of rights. Reporter scalia said judges should stick to following the words of the laws they interpret. Were not governed by the were governed by laws. And what the law is is not what the drafter intended, but what the drafter enacted. Reporter but he delighted liberals by pushing the court to expand the rights of defendants on trial to confront their accusers in court, another ruling he inspired said judges should not consider facts in sentencing that werent found by a jury. Among his most notable opinions for the court, the historic ruling that the Second Amendment guarantees an individuals right to own a firearm for selfdefense. The most important gun decision ever. He met his future wife maureen on a blind date when both were in college. Scalias were a big family, five boys and four girls. Two of his children became lawyers, following their father in a profession he clearly relished. I like thinking about the law. I like figuring out the right answer to legal problems. Reporter his sudden death after 29 years on the Supreme Court has stunned the nations legal community. Off the court he was incredibly energetic in his questioning from the bench he and so it is a shock to the family of people that are in and around the court. So this leaves the court with eight justices, evenly split ideologically as it prepares to take up such divisive issues as abortion, immigration, obamacare, the future of Public Sector unions. Anytime there is a 44 tie, the courts decision essentially doesnt count and the Lower Court Rulings are left standing, so Justice Scalias death casts a big shadow over the rest of the Supreme Court. Pete williams, thank you. As we mentioned, a Major Political fight is already brewing this morning over who should nominate the next Supreme Court justice. Should it be president obama or his successor . Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is at the white house with more on that. Good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. From his long weekend in california, where the president will be hosting a summit of asian leaders, president obama spoke about the death of Justice Scalia and paid tribute to his life and public service. And the president also quietly political battle ahead over confirming a successor to the high court, though hes in his final year in office, the president says he will not wait. I plan to fulfill my Constitutional Responsibilities to nominate a successor in due time. There will be plenty of time for me to do so and for the senate to fulfill its responsibility to give that person a fair hearing and a timely vote. Reporter now, the president made his intentions clear because Top Republicans wary that another Obama Justice would end the conservative majority on the court had already drawn a line. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell put out a statement saying, the American People should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. Therefore this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. While Senate Democrats pushed back that republicans should not attempt to obstruct the process and leave the court with an open seat. Top democrat harry reid said the the senate a nominee right away, failing to fulfill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the senates most essential Constitutional Responsibilities. Now, the political wins are clearly drawn this morning and the fight will play out on the campaign trail and here in washington with republicans having 54 seats in the senate, more than democrats, and giving them the power to really control this process going forward. Erica . Kelly odonnell at the white house this morning, thank you. Ron cling clerked in the Supreme Court, white House Counsel to both president s clinton and obama. Full disclosure, youre working with the Clinton Campaign this election cycle. Want to make sure folks know that. You spent two years clerking at the high court there in d. C. His conservative legacy is well known, well established at this point. What was he like as a person . I never agreed with Justice Scalia on almost anything, but he was an inconsiderably warm person. Debate. The court, when i ran into him, he and i had Public Exchange about bush v. Gore, always very warm and kind. I think he leaves behind a personal level a wonderful legacy as a family man and beloved mentor to generations of Supreme Court clerks who worked for him and for whom he was a key influence in their lives. We mentioned as Pete Williams mentioned many people would forget how divisive his decisions could be, that he was unanimously confirmed. This is going to be a little bit different this time around to fill his seat. But when president obama goes into this process, if he in fact nominates someone as he said he will, what is your advice . You helped other president s do this. What republicans are proposing is an unprecedented three branch gridlock of the federal government. They say the president should nominate nun nominate someone, they say the Supreme Court should remain deadlocked at 44 for two terms, thats never happened before, thats not what should happen now. President should and will fulfill his constitutional and the senate should give that person a fair hearing. And make a judgment on that persons individual merits and qualifications. But should the president be looking for Something Else . A person who maybe Merrick Garland is a name that has come up a lot, a name that is easier to get through the senate. What i know about the president is that he takes this responsibility very seriously. He taught constitutional law at the university of chicago. He is a real constitutional scholar himself. Hes going to pick the person who he thinks will be the best justice for the Supreme Court. And then the senate should do its job. Look, they have the right to vote up, down, reject, approve, the president s nominee. That is their job. But it is their responsibility to do that job, to give the person a fair hearing, to let the person make their case, and then to judge that person based on the case they make before the senate. Ron cling, thank you for coming in on a sunday morning. Thanks for having me. Antonin scalias death and the question of who should justice was the topic during last nights Republican Debate. It did not take long for the sparks to start flying in what was easily a rowdy debate. Nbcs gabe due tare gutierrez is in South Carolina this morning. The future of the Supreme Court is now front and center in the president ial election, but this debate quickly got personal and turned into an allout brawl in a state known for rough and tumble politics. On a less crowded stage, the ninth Republican Debate started with some rare agreement. I do not believe the president should appoint someone. Reporter several candidates wanting to block president obamas nominee to the Supreme Court. It is called delay, delay, delay. Reporter but then, things got ugly. Why do you lie . This is a man who insults his way ted cruz has been telling lies. Reporter frontrunner donald trump blasting jeb bush on foreign policy. The World Trade Center came while donald trump was building a reality tv show, my brother was building a Security Apparatus to keep us safe. Reporter marco rubio hoping to rebound from his last debate came to bushs defense, slamming trump. I thank god all the time that it was george w. Bush in the white house on 9 11 and not al gore. Reporter but the florida senator clashed with ted cruz over immigration. At one point cruz took issue with something rubio had said in a Spanish Language interview. First of all, i dont know how he knows what i said on univision, because he doesnt speak spanish. And second of all, the other point i would make [ speaking spanish ] reporter cruz trounced on trump for what he called the billionaires past liberal positions on abortion and social issues. You are the single biggest liar. Youre probably worse than jeb bush. You are the single biggest liar. Hes a nasty guy. Donald has this weird pattern, when you point to his own record, he screams liar, different tone, john kasich. I got to tell you, this is just crazy. This is just nuts, okay. Geez, oh, man. Reporter and while most on the stage fought each other, dr. Ben carson fought for attention. So many people said to me, you need it scream and jump up and down like everybody else. Is that really what you want . What we just saw . I dont think so. Reporter the gop primary here is in just six days and we expect Justice Scalias replacement to become a major issue on the campaign trail. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are slamming the republicans plans to hold up a nominee. Erica . Gabe gutierrez, thank you. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press, Andrea Mitchell is nbcs chief Foreign Affairs correspondent. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Chuck, this race changed overnight. What does the death of Justice Scalia do to this election well, look, it puts the Supreme Court front and center. This has been something that the candidates have been talking to base voters for a long time, that this election more than anything else could determine the balance of the Supreme Court going forward. It is one of the oldest Supreme Courts that we have had had in some time. Thats why this prediction has been made. And now with scalias death, it only reinforces that nation with voters. It is going to it is going to throw washington into a tizzy. I think it could shut down the senate essentially for the year if things go as badly as it could between what the president wants to do, what the Senate Republicans want to do. So i think it is going to end up elevating the issue of the Supreme Court into a top five issue for the rest of the year. As it elevates that issue, andrea, you can imagine that maybe the candidates might have had in the back of their mind a short list. In terms of president obama, what do you hear from your sources . Does he have a short list of nominees at the ready . Absolutely. List. This is the eventuality that people worry about. But that people have to prepare for. Every white house council, every Justice Department has prepared a list. But the problem now is he has to make a decision, is he going to propose someone who would be more in his line of thinking or at this time as a lame duck will he propose someone who is so centrist and so universally respected that that person, he or she, could be viable for confirmation if there were not the block of Mitch Mcconnell and chuck grassley, who within an hour or two of the death the untimely death of Justice Scalia came out saying they would not confirm anyone. Chuck, it seemed as if at the debate last night, the only thing the candidates did agree on is that president obama should not nominate anyone for the high court. It was downright nasty at times last night, chuck. Who are the winners . Who are the losers . It was nasty. Look, i think that jeb bush and compared to everybody else. I think they were the most consistent throughout the debate. Jeb bush had some of the better back and forths with trump so that also should get garner him extra attention. Donald trump said about george w. Bush at 9 11 and in iraq is risky in South Carolina. George w. Bush is popular there. Ill be curious to see how trump is faring in the polls in the next couple of days to see if this has an impact. Very quickly, though, to follow up on what andrea said, keep an eye on a gentleman named Merrick Garland, a judge in the d. C. Circuit. If he he has been the president s backup plan for some time, hes always been identified as the judge he would nominate if he were dealing with a republican senate. If the president goes down that road, that tells you he wants to get somebody confirmed. We will all be watching intently. Chuck todd, Andrea Mitchell, thank you to both of you. Catch more a little later on meet the press. Marco rubio, donald trump, and john kasich. That bitter blast of freezing cold air continues to impact tens of millions of people this morning. The good news, it should soon be over. But the bad news, youre going to have to make it through today before you see that relief. Dylan is here with more on that. Dylan, good morning.

Passengers described that trip as chaotic and terrifying. The coast guard says the ship was in good shape to sail again. Sheinelle, thank you. We have much more this morning on the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Appointed to the court 30 years ago, his death leaves a major vacancy on the bench. We have complete coverage for you this half hour, Nbcs Jay Gray is outside the ranch where scalia died, and he has more for us. Jay, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. Heres what we know right now. Justice scalia was found dead inside his room at this resort and ranch after traveling to west texas on friday and attending a private party with about 40 guests here. He didnt show up for breakfast the next morning. Thats when employees went to that room and found him unresponsive there. Local Law Enforcement as well as u. S. Marshals and the fbi were called in. Are no signs of foul play and that scalia likely died of what they call, quote, Natural Causes. A devout catholic, priest was brought in to administer last rites before scalia was transported with the Police Escort more than 200 miles to a funeral home in el paso. His family is expected to travel to el paso later today. They have not at this point announced any plans for a memorial or Funeral Services. Thats the latest live here. Erica, back to you. Jay gray for us this morning in texas, thank you. For more on scalias legacy, back to nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams. Pete, good morning to you again. Craig, good morning. This was a court that was divided 54 ideologically. So now it is 44. Here is what would happen if the major pending cases are decided by a tie. That would leave the Lower Court Rulings in tact. In other words, whichever side won below would prevail. A tie vote would be bad news for president obamas hope to put his new immigration policy into effect, the one that would let up to 5 Million People here the lower courts blocked that policy. It would also leave standing a tough new restriction on access to Abortion Services in texas. And might prompt other states to try that same approach. It would be a victory for unions that represent public employees. They won in the lower courts, defeating an effort to restrict their ability to collect union dues. So the court will continue functioning with only eight justices, but it will likely produce at least some tied votes, delaying the kind of final resolution that only the Supreme Court can provide. Craig . Pete williams for us this morning in d. C. Thanks. A huge fight is already looming over who should nominate the next Supreme Court justice. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is at the white house with more on that for us this morning. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. That fight is coming because there is so much at stake. It is a mix of politics, ideology and tradition. The sudden death of a conservative justice under a democratic president means the balance of the court could shift to the liberal wing if the president gets a third justice confirmed. Of power in this process. They control the Senate Judiciary committee which would run the extensive background check of a nominee. The public hearing where the president s choice would answer questions, and then decide if the full senate gets a vote. That could take months. Republicans claim there is tradition on their side, saying that no nominee was both selected and confirmed in an Election Year for decades. They argue that the next president should get to shape the court with this vacancy. Democrats will be able to marshal political pressure to see a nominee move through this process and some of that pressure will be aimed at republican senators up for reelection in swing states, making this a campaign issue, not only for president ial candidates, but it could determine control of the senate and that is a big part of the balance of power here in washington. Erica . That it is. Keeping us busy for some time. Kelly odonnell, thank you. Dylan dreyer on the plaza with some fans. How cold is it, dylan . You guys feel like it is about 1 . Yes.
