carried by january 6th rieuiot rioters hung outside his virginia home. alito said he had no involvement whatsoever, that his wife hung the flag amid a dispute with neighbors. many republicans stood by alito today. any concern there being a flag there? >> people who are judges on the supreme courts have personal lives. they have families, and i don't think they're necessarily responsible for everything their families do or say. >> reporter: and the gop is expected to block any efforts by democrats to pass new ethics rules for the high court, which has a code, but polices itself. there is literally no place else in the federal government in which an allegation against an official is raised and there is not even fact-finding done. >> reporter: new polling shows public approval of the court has plummeted. in just the last four years. >> i think at the very least we need more answers to questions about the second flag and about his involvement, and whether he tried to distance himself from it. because a flag outside of his

house recently appears to represent his own views of the case. >> reporter: alito did not return our requests for comment on the flag controversies, but he and the rest of the court are set to rule on two big cases related to january 6th and the 2020 election in the coming weeks, if not the coming day, >> scott macfarlane, thank you for that update. the good news, it probably won't cost you more to travel this holiday weekend, but it's a different story when you get there. we'll explain. and later, eye on america. young adults are less byob and more

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> louisiana is now on the verge of becoming the first state in the country to reclassify two commonly used abortion drugs as controlled and dangerous substances. cbs' caitlin huey-burns is here

with the details. it's a big story. what does the bill do? >> this is supposed to be headed to the governor's desk. he is expected to sign it. and it will make it illegal to possess mifepristone and misoprostol without a prescription in the state, and that's punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $75,000 in fines. now this drug combination was used in more than half of abortions nationwide last year, and the fda says it's effective. >> so abortions are already illegal in louisiana. what practical fact does this a have? >> this could make it harder for physicians po prescribe the drugs which are used to treat other conditions and manage miscarriages. the reclassification would require doctors to have a special license to write a prescription, and the drugs would have to be stored in certain facilities. hundreds of doctors in louisiana say they oppose this because it could delay care. and louisiana has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country.

and in the midst of all of this, we're awaiting a decision from the supreme court on mifepristone, which could impose a nationwide ban, and a decision on that is expected at the end of june. norah? >> we'll be watching very closely. caitlin huey-burns, thank you so much. earlier this evening, police broke up a pro-palestinian protest on the campus of ucla. officers moved in after demonstrators set up tents and barricades, and then climbed on to the roof of a building and tried to lock officers out of another building. and earlier today, ucla's chancellor was testifying on capitol hill to the handling of campus protests and a rise in antisemitic incidents. the presidents of northwestern and rutgers university defended their decisions to end pro-palestinian encampments through negotiations rather than police force. calls are growing for supreme court justice samuel alito to recuse himself from any cases that involve the january 6th assault, donald trump, and election integrity. this comes after photos surfaced of provocative flags linked to

rioters hung outside his virginia home. days after the u.s. capitol siege. alito said he had no involvement whatsoever, that his wife hung the flag amid a dispute with neighbors. many republicans stood by alito today. any concern there being a flag there? >> people who are judges on the supreme courts have personal lives. they have families, and i don't think they're necessarily responsible for everything their families do or say. >> reporter: and the gop is expected to block any efforts by democrats to pass new ethics rules for the high court, which has a code, but polices itself. there is literally no place else in the federal government in which an allegation against an official is raised and there is not even fact-finding done. >> reporter: new polling shows public approval of the court has plummeted in just the last four years. >> i think at the very least we need more answers to questions about the second flag and about his involvement, and whether he tried to distance himself from it. because a flag outside of his

house reasonably appears to represent his own views of the case. >> reporter: alito did not return our requests for comment on the flag controversies, but he and the rest of the court are set to rule on two big cases related to january 6th and the 2020 election in the coming weeks, if not the coming day, norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you for that update. the good news, it probably won't cost you more to travel this holiday weekend, but it's a different story when you get there. we'll explain. and later, eye on america. young adults are less byob and more byoc, bring your own cannabis. sfx: [birds chirping] for nourished, lightweight hair, the right ingredients make all the difference. new herbal essences sulfate free is now packed with plant-based ingredients your hair will love. like pure aloe. and camellia flower oil. and none of the things it won't. hair feels deeply nourished, soft and lightweight. plant power you can feel.
