impacting the presidential election. the question when and how will his seat be filled. we begin with our chief legal correspondent jan crawford. >> he was a giant in the law. known for his sharp intellect and often sharpt tongue justice scalia's views on the institution influenced a generation. nominated by president regan scalia joined the court with an established philosophy that judges should follow the original understanding of the constitution. one of his most significant opinions was the landmark ruling guarantees an individual right to bear arms. he could seem combative but despite the partisan rancor of washington, scalia that deep friendships with liberal justices, notably justice ruth bader ginsburg who shared his affinity for opera. his disagreements, he said, in a 2008 interview with "60 minutes" weren't personal. >> i attack ideas, i don't attack peoplement and some very good people have some very bad ideas.

ginsburg said they were best buddies and his colorful better. justice scalia nailed all the weak spots that applesauce and argle bargle as scalia put it, and gave me just what i needed to strengthen the majority opinion. >> i could be charming and combative at the same time. what's-- what's contradictory between the two. i love to argument. i have always loved to argue. and i love to point out the weaknesses of the opposing arguments. >> reporter: his death will have an immediate impact on the court that now will be divided 4-4 along ideaological lines, a liberal nominee would move the once conservative court to the left and the battle lines quickly were drawn. the president urged the senate to have a fair and timely hearing. >> these are responsibilities that i take seriously as should everyone. they're bigger than any one party. they are about our democracy. >> reporter: but with so much

already were vowing to block any nominee. mitch mcconel said this vak ansi should not be filled until we have a new president. paul clem ent, clerk for justice scalia and has argued 80 cases before the court. >> he thought based on his methodology that there were right and wrong answers. and as a result, if he thought the court was taking a wrong turn, he was going to tell him that. >> reporter: in 2008 scalia said he couldn't imagine doing anything else. >> when i first came on the court, i thought i would for sure get off as soon as i could, which would have been when i turned 65. because you know, justices retire at full salary. so there is no reason not to leave and go off and do something else. >> but i cannot-- what happened is simply i cannot think of what i would do for an encore. i can't think of any other job that i would find as interesting

>> glor: and jan crawford joins us from our d.c. bureau, what happens when and if republicans refuse to confirm president obama's-- om bo-- nominee to the court. >> i think they are going to do what they say and refuse to confirm it i think this confrontation is going to happen pretty quickly. the white house did say this afternoon, late this afternoon that president obama would not be nominating a replacement this eck would. but it probably won't drag on too long. i think it's widely expected to be within the next couple of weeks and then the ball is in the senate's court. and it's unclear if they will even schedule hearings. but remember, i mean, even if the senate were going to confirm someone, it's unlikely that a new jus tus-- justice would be deciding cases this session. the confirmation process for what we are talking about here, a lifetime appointment, that takes time. and that is when everyone is on the same page. >> glor: let's talk about this session though. because there are some controversial cases that are supposed to be arguing and decided here. >> right.

those hot button social issues. they usually divide the court along ideaological lines 5-4. now with scalia's passing the court on most of those is going to be divided 4-4. so when you've got a decision that's 4-4, that is a tie. the lower court decision is going to stand, but there's no national precedent. so the issue isn't finally resolved, once and for all. and that's going to have a big impact this term because there are some really controversial cases, jeff. i mean there is a case from texas, on tougher regulations for abortion clinics. there is a case on affirmative action on the use of race and college admissions. and believe it or not there is another challenge to obama care as well as cases on presidential power like presidentol-- president obama executive orders on immigration, environmental policy. most of those cases now are unlikely to have a majority decision. so they may not really bring about a sweeping change in the law. >> jan crawford from d.c., once again thank you very much, jan.
