brother travis, and what he said about philadelphia. ♪ from abc news world headquarters in new york, this is world news tonight with david m muir. >> good evening. we begin with a historic ruling by the supreme court citing colorado's highest court cannot take donald trump off the ballot. the justices finding individual states cannot invoke the 14th amendment to keep trump off the ballot, delivering blows to at least three states, colorado, illinois and maine. the court saying it is up to congress. trump praising the court for working hard and quickly, in his words. but the court is not done weighing in on key issues that will affect the race for president. in just a few weeks, they will hear arguments of president trump's claims of absolute immunity. in today's ruling, the justices not discussing whether trump took part in an insurrection on january 6th. some of the justices made their differences clear. abc's terry moran who covers the supreme court leading us off tonight. >> reporter: for the supreme court, a rare moment of unanimity. all nine justices declaring as one that individual states cannot ban donald trump from the presidential ballot under the insurrection clause of the constitution's 14th amendment. the court did not address the issue of whether trump actually engaged in insurrection, but declared the responsibility for enforcing that section of the constitution rests with congress and not the states. >> they worked long. they worked hard. and, frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now, extremely important. >> courts in three states, colorado, maine and illinois have ruled that trump should be banned from the ballot because of his actions on january 6th and in the weeks before under the 14th amendment's command that no one who has taken an oath to support the constitution and then engaged in insurrection can hold public office afterwards. during oral arguments last month, liberals and conservatives on the court voiced sharp skepticism of what colorado did. >> i think the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the united states. >> today the justices pointed to the potential disruption that could happen if some states disqualified trump and some did not, all using different standards and procedures. to disqualify insurrectionist candidates, congress must first pass a law spelling out how. but the court's three liberal justices said that goes too far by saying only two legislation can address the issue. the conservatives, the liberals wrote, are attempting to shield the court and donald trump from future controversy, adding the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrections from future challenges. amy cohen barrett urged her colleagues to turn the national temperature down, not up. our differences are far less important than our unanimity, barrett wrote. all 9 justices agree on the outcome of this case. that is the message all americans should take home. >> so let's get right to terry moran. this unanimous ruling today, justice amy cohen barrett as you just reported there suggested the supreme court turn the national temperature down. but that might be impossible because the nation's highest court is now preparing to hear another case with potentially major consequences here in the race for president. of course, donald trump appealed that lower court decision. that court saying donald trump does not have absolute immunity in his federal election interference case. the supreme court now agreeing to take up trump's appeal and decide on presidential immunity, which is major. >> that's right, really big, david. that case is now set for argument at the end of april, so expect a decision in late may or june as all these cases grind on. today is super tuesday. voters go to the polls in 15 states and donald trump remains on the ballot in every one. >> terry, thank you. we should note abc news will have live coverage of super tuesday, tomorrow night. 15 states voting, but a much different year. if it is, in fact, president biden facing off against donald trump. where this race stands right now in the battlegrounds. what about these court cases? will they play out before the election? we will answer your questions including tomorrow night's results tomorrow night 10:00 p.m. eastern on abc. thanks to terry. we move on to the other news tonight and winter storm warnings up already at this hour. several states will get hit.

multiple days of blizzard conditions, communities in the sierra nevada mountains now bracing for another winter storm. more than 10 feet of snow in some areas already. one lake tahoe ski resort recording a wind gust of more than 190 miles an hour during the storm's height. the blizzard shutting down interstate 190 for days. he checked on the stranded drivers. >> want me to give you a little nudge? >> reporter: watch as he uses this cruiser to push that car out of the snow bank. in the blinding snow and wind friday night, first responders going vehicle to vehicle, rescuing more than 200 drivers, including a mother and her newborn baby. >> we ended up getting her car jump started but realized she didn't have enough fuel. at that point, we transported her and baby off the mountain down to a warming center. >> reporter: the crucial interstate finally reopening today. and, david, winter storm warnings remain in effect for parts of northern california until early wednesday as families and communities continue to dig out from this storm. several additional feet of snow forecast for some areas as the system moves from california to colorado. david? >> faith, you have been a really good sport about this night after night in the storm for us, and we appreciate it. in the meantime, harrowing images coming in. the deadly fires burning across the texas panhandle. families left with no place to go. more than a million acres now destroyed. maria villareal in texas tonight. >> reporter: tonight a new wild fire triggering the evacuation of another town in the texas panhandle as firefighters race to contain the largest fire in state history that has killed two people and destroyed hundreds of homes. officials temporarily evacuating texas sunday. crews battling wind-fueled flames from the ground and in the air. five wild fires scorching more than one million acres, hitting cattle ranchers hard. shea mezner owns the bake shack in texas helping coordinate hay donations from across the state. thousands of cattle have been killed, potentially impacting the nation's beef supply. >> over a million acres has burned. there is no grass on the ground for them to eat, so hay

company excel saying a wooden pole xcel failed to properly inspect snapped off at its base, adding power utility lines hit the ground, igniting a fire. xcel responding saying they are working to support the panhandle, adding there has been no official determination of cause or causes for the fires. and investigations are ongoing. and tonight back in fritch, the community rallying to help those struggling. >> this is our town. this is where we live. these are the people we bump shoulders with every day. if we don't stick together as a town, who is going to do it. >> reporter: firefighters are taking advantage of the temperatures here in the panhandle. we have cooler temperatures and light winds through wednesday. we're also looking at a chance of rain later on through the week. in new york city, donald trump's former cfo pleading guilty to perjury. he now heads back to lirikers to serve time again. >> reporter: for almost 50 years, allen weisselberg was a trusted lieutenant of the trump family. weisselberg pled guilty to perjury admitting he lied during the new york attorney general's investigation and trial of his former boss. he came to court today in handcuffs. he was released until april 10th, when he will be sentenced to five months in jail. weisselberg has already served time for evading taxes as chief financial officer of the trump organization. this time he lied about his role in affirming the size of trump's fifth avenue penthouse. trump's financial statement said it is 30,000 square feet, but the attorney general showed trump's signature on a document certifying it is a third that size, 11,000 square feet. that is part of the reason trump was held liable for fraud and ordered to pay a nearly half billion civil penalty. weisselberg did not implicate trump. he left the trump organization last year with a $2 million severance. the trump campaign said weisselberg fell victim to a crew said of vin tickive pressure. but prosecutors said it is a crime to lie in depositions or at trial, plain and simple. david? >> aaron, thank you. tonight the massachusetts air national guard member that pled guilty to

pieces of wreckage later showed up. despite the biggest search, the crash site was never found. ocean infinity last searched in 2019. this private company has information that they think has refined the search area, and they think it is worth going back out and look anything this new area, which was not explored before. we don't know what this information is. we don't know if it's legitimate

years. thank you. tonight the bitden administration increasing the pressure for a cease-fire in gaza. what camera harris said today. >> reporter: tonight, amid growing desperation in gaza, the u.s. stepping up calls for a cease-fire. vice president kamala harris meeting with a member of israel's war cabinet with a pointed message. time is running out to free more hostages. calling on hamas to accept the terms of an immediate six-week cease-fire. the deadline is the end of this week. >> we're in a window of time right now where we can actually get a hostage deal done. we all want this conflict to end as soon as possible. and how it does matters. >> reporter: the push for a deal comes as the un sets out clear and convincing evidence of sexual violence by hamas militants during the
