This is the story of two women, drawn for different reons to the sun. To the bright lights. To the blue water. Both chase that promise of success. Both saw what can go wrong. It was a gorgeous sunny day in newport beach, california. The last of 4th of july weekend. Some lucky tourists aboard an eight passenger bus called the green machine, marvelling as a came across the unexpected. Newport beach. The captain radioed the coast guard that as a boat was circling out of control nearby. Apparently fell off the boat. The man in the water was frantic. Does he still look like hes pretty distraught . Absolutely. Very. His name was eric beckler. His wife was peggy, but she was nowhere to be found. Just laying on his boogie board and laying. Can you make out any words . No, hes kind of slurring his words. Any time now that the unit should be on the scene. A stunning end to what began as a perfect day. Anniversary and peggy just turning 38. It was her birthday, so she was in good spirits. Linda w
Nobody better to joioi me on this than our justice correspondent pete williams. Pete, welcome back, sir. T me ask veryquickly, were in the middle of some ontentious cases ononhe Supreme Court now. What happens rigigig nowow the most one with pololical mplications is e immigration decision. Right. When you have eight justices it creates the possibility of a 44 tie. When theres a tie its as though the Supreme Court decision doesnt count, the lower courtruling stands and the Supreme Court decision has no president ial value. So for the immmmration policy it would be a defeat for the administration because it would leave standndg the lowow Court Rulings thatlocked it. For s sch abortion question which is coming, it would l lve the tough texas restriction on access to abortion clinics standing. Might encourage other states too try the same thing. For Public Sector u uons though it might be a victory because they won in the lower courts, defeating an effort to try to restrict their ability t
Weekend but more cold is in store for the week ahead. Plus, is kanye west millions in debt. A monster week at the box office. And what happens when you giving a sea lion a selfie stick . Early today starts right now. Good morning. The stakes are high after the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. Its already reached the point of a Justice Scalia dissent. President obama says he will nominate a new justice although so far there is no timetable for an announcement. And the president s republican colleagues dont think it should be his to make at all. Heres the bottom line. I dont trust barack obama on the Supreme Court justices its called delay, delay, delay. I dont think the president should move forward and we the United States should decide. Im glad the senate is agreeing what we should. Those opinions have been met with harsh words on the other side of the aisle by hillary clinton.

The preceding was a paid presentation for cize, brought of if the president wants to nominate somebody, hes made that clear. The Republican Controlled Senate doesnt want to consider it. Its possible terms of the Supreme Court begin in october and end in june. Right. So at this point under this scenario we might go an entire term, october of 16 through june of 17 without a Supreme Court justice because even if takes time to get through the process.

On the Supreme Court. Nobody better to join me on this than our justice correspondent pete williams. Pete, welcome back, sir. Let me ask very quickly, were in the middle of some contentious cases on the Supreme Court now. What happens right now . The most one with political implications is the immigration decision. Right. When you have eight justices it creates the possibility of a 44 tie. When theres a tie its as though the Supreme Court decision doesnt count, the Lower Court Ruling stands and the Supreme Court decision has no president ial value. So for the immigration policy it would be a defeat for the administration because it would leave standing the Lower Court Rulings that blocked it. For such abortion question which is coming, it would leave the tough texas restriction on standing. Might encourage other states to try the same thing. For Public Sector unions though it might be a victory because they won in the lower courts, defeating an effort to try to restrict their ability t
