>> reporter: i can't hear the broadcast. has it started? >> axelrod: we're having a little trouble with paula right now. this evening, chief j justice john roberts released a statement saying scalia was "an extraordinary individual and jurist who was admired and treasured by his colleagues." roberts added, "scalia's passing is a great loss to the court and to the country he served." among justice scalia's most important decisions, he cast a crucial vote in "bush v. gore "the case, of course, that made george w. bush president in 2000, despite his ideological opposition to the perspectives of colleagues like justices ginsberg, and kagan, he was held in high esteem by them. we will pring in our chief legal correspondent, jan crawford ght now. jan, the supreme court is session a week from monday, so how does the court move forward? >> reporter: i mean, i think that's one of those almost unimaginable questions. when you think about that seat that justice scalia has held now for 30 years being empty and the role he played o o that supreme court and the impact he had on the law. of course, you know, this sparkling intellect, this conservative icon, not always able to persuade even the more conservative justices to go along with him, but always sticking to his guns, willing to write separate dissents, arguing that the law actually should be turning, in a conservative direction. and now, of course, getting that mamarity on the supreme court many times to go along with him. his absence on this court captain be overstated because it will change potentially the balance of the supreme court. remember, the supreme court now is narrowly divided 5-4, five conservatives, four liberals. course being that conservative icon. his passing now means the court will be four to four, so the next president or the current president could well change the direction of the supreme court. the question i think you're going to be seeing now in the next dayayand weeks is will president obama be appointing his third justice to the united states supreme court or will this wait for the next president? already, you're seeing conservatives argue that we should wait. senate majority leader mcconnell calling for this appointment to be made by the next president. u're going to hear democrats saying that's too long. that's a year. i think that will be the next real fight you'll see, starting right away, jim. >> axelrod: all right, jan crawford, an awful lot to keep our r ye on coming of the death of the supreme court justice antonin scalia. we want to go right now to paula reid. she's got the latest on the death of antonin scalia whose body was found this morning. >> senior u.s. supreme court associate justice antonin scalia has died of natural causes at a ranch in southwest texas. he on an annual trip to the state, spending titi with friend, when he did not come down for breakfast he was a devote dwout catholic and sources confirm that a priest from the el paso diocese was called to administer lasas rites. justice scalia was one of the most influential minds on the court. he led a conservative renaissance. texas governor gregg abbott reflects on how his faith informed his legal opinions. >> his faith was part of his decision-making progress, certainly in interpreting the first amendment of the constitution. >> reporter: in a statement, the court said, "his passing iss a agreementntoss to the court and the country he so loyally served. we extend our deepest condolences to his wife, maureen, and his family." he is survived by nine children and numerous grandchildren. the president was informed of his passing this afternoon, and the white house said the reaction later today. >> alrod: paul a aank you very much. as we mentioned atathe top of the broadcast, chief justice roberts had confirmed the death of scalia and said at the time he was "an extraordinary individual, jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues." a fiery conservative, scalia came to the court 30 years ago, appointed in 1986 by president ronald reagan. as a justice, scalia was a leading advocate for a strict interpretation of the constitution. and known for his theatrical flare in the courtroom. his rigid conservatism and jabs directed at colleagues were well known. his sharply worded dissents and caustic attacks on liberal notions had an influence on a generations of young conservatives. he had a deep effect on the law. born in trenton, new jersey, raised in queens, the son of italian immigrants was a high school valedictorian who studied at georgetown university and got he issued thundererous dissents when the court upheld the right to abortion and in 2003 when it struck down the laws that targeted gays and lesbians. scalia came under fire last december when he made controversial comments about an affirmative action case at the university of texas at austin. he said: what may have been his most important majority-- in what may have his most important jamadaya jort opinion, scalia spoke for the court in 2008, declaring for the first time that the second amendment gave americans the right to own a gun for self-defensese he always played a key role in a series of 5-4 decisions that struck down campaign finance laws, and said all americans, including corporations and unions ha free speech right to spend their money on election ads. scalia's death is expected to carolina. major garrett, who is on the cbs news debate panel, joins us now from south carolina. major, what are the candidates saying in the immediate aftermath of news the justify scalia's passing? >> reporter: jim, when he was on the high court, justice schaefs a passioned defender of free speech in all off its forms. it's not surprising the very first candidate reaction came on twitter, a social media communication device not oinl unimaginable to scalia when he was appointed but for most of his time on the high court. donald trump tweeted as follows, "to the totally unexpected loss of supreme court justice antonin scalia is a massive setback for the conservative movement and our country." ted cruz also on twitter, "scalia was an american here pope we owe it to him and the nation for the senate to ensure that the next president, not president obama, but the next president name his replacecent." marco rubio, john kasich, ands have also reacted in ways you might expect. and you alluded to earlier, jim, that most conservatives -- in fact all conservatives -- revere not only of free speech but original intent of the constitution and relied on his brilliance as a writer of opinions on the supreme court to not only guide the supreme court but to inform the conservative movement writ large in this country. so in that sense, this casts an enormous pall over want proceedings here in greenville. >> axelrod: major, that could go a couple of ways, i suppose. it could not only change the content of what's discussed, but also the tone in which it's discussed. >> reporter: certainly. and i will tell you our debate team was prepared to ask all of these candidates their yepitation t tthe supreme court, what characteristics they would look for in a potential nominee, because even before justice scalia's shocking pazzing, it was anticipated that the next president of the united states would have one, two, possibly three vacancies. so that was an issue that we were going to raise anyway. it now takes on much greater significance tonight. also brupgz up the issue of the unexpected nature of crises and the american presidency and being g le to deal with those lastly, it may actually on the podiums tonight, jim, change the atmosphere. candidates who might have come to this debate before the news of scalia's passing with an intent to mix if up a bit more aggressively might lay back a little bit because they don't want to appear to be taking advantage of this very somber moment of national unity. >> axelrod: major garrett, we will see out panell tonight. the debate begins at 9:00 eastern time, 8:00 central, 6:00 in the west, right here on cbs. we invite you to tweet us your questions using the hashtag #gopdebate. the day has been cold and the night getting colder in the northeast. in many places conditions aren't just unpleasant. they are dangerous. here's marlie hall. >> reporter: sunday wind gusts and blinding snow helped cause this massive 50-vehicle pileup on the pennsylvania interstate this morning. authorities say at least three people dieie >> it sounded like two bombs went off. >> this truck driver had never seen anything like it. >> reporter: further south, in fayetville, north carolina, the wintnt wreaked havoc on roads not accustomed to snow and ice. >> once you get three inches, it's gridlock. >> reporter: in scranton, pennsylvania, a busted water main combined with frigid temperatures left homemefrozen time. >> the city is facing some of the coldest temperatures and wind chills we've seen in the last 20 years. >> reporter: in new york, mayor bill de blasio warned reads the area is facing single-digit temps and up to 30-mile-per-hour winds, especially dangerous for the homeless. how many people do you estimate are at risk?
