♪ ♪ good evening, i am norah o'donnell. and thank you for being with us. we want to begin with the news and analysis of that historic decision from the supreme court. the justices ruling that states cannot bar donald trump from running for another term. even though he is accused by some of insurrection. colorado and several other states were seeking to disqualified trauma because of his action surrounding the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. now today's decision was unanimous. all nine justices agreed that trump cannot be barred from the ballot. and perhaps the most important ruling about a presdential election of more than two decades since the decision of bush versus gore in 2000. this is the key paragraph of the ruling. "states may disqualified persons attempting to hold state office, but states have no power under the constitution with respect to federal offices, especially the

presidency." now the courts three liberal members say the court's majority went too far. justices sonya soto mayor, elena kagan, anton g ketanji brown jackson expressed frustration saying that decision protects donald trump from "future controversy." cbs's robert costa has a former president's reaction. >> a crucial decision today with sweeping political consequences. the high court's ruling that former president trump cannot be removed from colorado's ballot. due to the state court's view that he stoped dead january 6th insurrection. >> you cannot take somebody out of a race, the voters can take a person out of the race very quickly, but a court should not be doing that. >> with this ruling, two other states also have their efforts to remove the former president stole, three justices and a separate concurring opinion said allowing the colorado measure to go forward would we

agreed create a chaotic state-by-state patchwork of made a tense political landscape, justice amy coney barrett also urged americans to see unity from the unanimous decision. writing "in this circumstance, writings on the court should turn the national temperature down, not up." colorado's democratic secretary of state offered sharp criticism of the decision. >> i do believe that state should be allowed under the constitution to bar insurrectionist. >> the ruling comes a day before super tuesday, the biggest primary election day of the season when voters in 15 states including colorado had to the polls. and trump's legal hurdles continue to pile up as the supreme court weighs and othe decision next month. >> i hope that the justices because we will be working on some other cases, but one in particular, presidents have to be given total immunity. they have to be allowed to do

their job. >> reporter: later this month, trump will also spend six weeks in courts where he is charged with falsifying business records related to hush money payments to a porn star. today trumps former cfo allen weisselberg pled guilty to two counts of perjury in the new york civil fraud case, but he will not testify against his former boss. looking ahead to tomorrow, top republicans say that they expect to have a strong showing on tuesday, as he marches closer to the nomination. allies of former ambassador nikki haley tell me she will likely soon be at a crossroads of whether she is going to stay in the race. norah. >> norah: robert costa, thank you very much. for now and analysis on that decision, let's bring in janet crawford. jan, as was outlined, the court ruling was unanimous, but they also said that they did not agree totally. explain. >> reporter: that happens with the issues, they agree with the

outcome but different ways of getting there and that's what we saw today. they'll said the same bottom line, colorado supreme court was wrong and states can't kick donald trump off the ballot, but they disagreed with why, how they got there. and this is where it got interesting. to the liberal justices use some very strong language suggesting conservatives were going to far, perhaps worried how their decision might be applied down the road. and then justice amy coney barrett wrote a separate decision saying now is not the time to amplified this agreement with stridency. so you see this back and forth between the justices on an issue where they all say they agree. and why is that important? because even where there is agreement, unanimous agreement like we saw today, this court was fractured. and some of these more controversial cases come down the road including that one where trump is arguing he should be immune from prosecution, we can see this all play out where they don't agree on the outcome. >> norah: such important context, i was reading that too,

justice writing that the court should turn the national temperature down, not up. >> good luck. >> norah: thank you. now turning to the weather with the blizzard slamming parts of california and nevada over the weekend with up to 7 feet of snow in some areas, cbs's carter evans reports from the snow and powerful winds have closed roads, knocked out power of thousands, and it's not over y yet. >> reporter: this is what nonstop snow looks like. over three days, this historic storm while up to the lake tahoe region with two months worth of snow, and the reno area got hit with half a year's worth. winds up to 190 miles per hour were recorded on some mountain peaks and some woke up to a wall of snow several feet tall. even removed during a snow plow was a challenge in the blinding blizzard. you just use your peripheral. unrelenting snowfall shut down
