>> probably very quickly. the justice department is saying it's revowing the decision. but it's a virtually certainty, the government will try again. could file something with the supreme court as early as today. >> you read the decision of the ninth circuit court. are there areas in that decision that are left open for the administration to revamp them and go to the supreme court? >> i think it's a matter of emphasis. the probably will probably stress with the supreme court that the president has very broad authority to control the borders and that the courts can't second-guess him. and i think eat's possible the supreme court might be more open to that argument than the appeals court was. >> there's another option for the administration. they can resend this order, cause a legal foyer firestorm. that would admit some form of defeat. how likely would that avenue be? >> i think one of the messages of this ruling is if the white house had limited the executive order to just people in those seven countries who want to come here for the first time, that would have been much harder to challenge in court. it's because the orlando was so broad, covering people with green cards, people who have been here before, and want to come back, like the students and the faculties and the universities, the court said it harmed the state. >> pete williams, thank you very much. this marks the president's biggest defeat during the first 100 days of his administration. steve kornacki is here. good to see you. pete is taking us through this. what's the political fallout of this decision? >> it's not uncommon for a president to be shot down by the supreme court. that happens to every president. what's uncommon is donald trump decided to make this the central fit presidency. going after the judiciary we've never seen. taking to twitter. this is a fundamental test of his clout as president. to suffer a defeat, that's a bigger blow to him. obviously, the fact he set the fight up this way. he believes there's some cover hoare. he can tell his supporters, i tried. >> he's probably also not admitting defeat. three look weeks in. let's lock at a report card we have. he talked about after being sworn in, voter fraud, 3 million people, launching an investigation. where does that stand? >> we had words from the white house at one point he was going to sipp an executive order on this. i think we've got this up here. i wasn't sure if it was going to be loaded. miracles happen. so, donald trump claimed 3 million to 5 million votes were illegally cast. he said there would be an executive order. that executive order, it now, we're hearing it may be delayed. what's going on here? congressional republicans, donald trump's party, do not want to stand with him on this. donald trump may appoint a commission. his vice president may be in charge of that. right now, that's no longer a top item. >> another progress report. we heard about repeal and replace obama care. they took some early stems in that process. where do we stand? >> a central promise for the campaign for donald trump. he said i will get rid of it. and guess what? there we go. he said he will immediately repeal and replace obamacare. it is a little more complicated than that, just in terms of the benefits people have. for instance, pre-existing season. you're covered no matter what right now. there's a lot of issues to work out. we're getting signals from republicans in congress. and policies are written for the year. this my take a year to go through. >> another thing we heard so much about, in addition to where does that stand? >> he did sign the executive order. that's what you're seeing right here. january 25th, signed an executive order. a dramatic moment. the question of how to pay for it. he said mexico would pay for it. congress has to come up with some money. no progress there, either. >> really quickly, the kellyanne conway story about the ivanka trump clothing line. is this more serious? >> you have members of congress, saying they want the ethics to lock at it and recommend a punishment. ultimately, it's up to donald trump. does he reach a point where he says enough is enough with the distractions. >> glad that came in for you. well done to our graphics department, as well. now, let's look at the problems left behind by thursday's massive winter storm. temperatures were dipping even lower overnight. we're seeing conditions on the roads. and thousands of flights leading to chaos at armts across the country. we have two reports, starting with blake mccoy in boston. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. folks across the northeast, digging out after the fast and powerful nor'easter. you can see, 11 inches of snow here. school has been canceled here for a second day. this morning, the northeast is digging out, after the biggest snowfall of the season. 50 million people impacted by the fast-moving nor'easter. in new york city, snow fell at a rate of three inches per hour. in virginia, a trucker died after his truck was swept off the bay bridge tunnel. in connecticut -- >> whoa. that was thundersnow. >> reporter: a rare burst of thundersnow. >> this is something else. >> reporter: blizzard conditions made roads tough to navigate. >> can't see the lines. people are driving fast. >> reporter: boston's train system was able to run through the night. >> we are applying fluid. and that enables the subways to run through the tough weather. >> reporter: with the morning commute here, some will be trading wheels for sleds. schools are closed for a second day in a row today. welcome news for kids bundled up and ready to play. >> having fun in the snow?
