election. the question when and how will his seat be filled. we begin with our chief legalief correspondent jan crawford. >> he was a giant in the law. known for his sharp intellect and often sharp tongue, justiceec scalia's views on the constitution influenced a generation. nominated by president reagan, 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 that the second amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. he could seem combative but despite the partisan rancor of washington, scalia had deep friendships with liberal justices, notably justice ruth bader ginsburg who shared hisde affinity for opera. his disagreements, he said, in adisa 2008 interview with "60 minutes" weren't personal. i >> i attack ideas, i don't attack people and some very goodck people have some very bad ideas. >> reporter: in a statement, >>

buddies and his colorful critiques made her opinions better. justice scalia nailed all theed weak spots, the "applesauce" and "argle bargle" as scalia put it, and gave me just what i needed to strengthen the majority opinion. >> i could be charming andn. 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 ideological lines, a 4- liberal nominee would move theol 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 they're bigger than any one party. they are about our democracy. >> reporter: but with so much at stake, republicans are alreadys

nominee. senate majority leader mitch mcconell said this vacancyai should not be filled until we an have a new president. paul clement, clerk for justice fo 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 and as satisfying.

us now from our d.c. bureau. jan, what happens when and if b republicans refuse to confirm president obama's 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 week. 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 justice would be deciding cases this session.s- 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: well, let's talk about this session though, jan. because there are someca controversial cases that are supposed to be arguing and decided here. >> right. and i mean controversial cases on those hot button social

they usually divide the court along ideological lines 5-4. and 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 biggo 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 affirmatives. action on the use of race and college admissions. and believe it or not, there is another challenge to obamacare as well as cases on presidential power, like president obama's executive orders on immigration, environmental policy. most of those cases now are unlikely to have a majorityca decision.ci so they may not bring about a sweeping change in the law. >>glor: jan crawford from d.c., once again thank you very much, jan. last night's presidential

with a somber moment of silence for justice scalia. after the debate, cbs news polled republican and independent viewers to ask which candidate they most trusted to appoint a supreme court justice. ted cruz finished first at 17%, followed by donald trump, marco rubio and john kasich. the republican candidates quickly entered the succession battle last night taking issue with president obama's plan. here's julianna goldman. >> reporter: the debate startedor with universal agreement that justice scalia's replacement shouldn't be confirmed until after inauguration day 2017. >> i do not believe the president should appoint someone. >> i think that we ought to let the next president of the united states decide.t >> the next president needs to appoint someone with a proven conservative record. >> the senate needs to standva strong and say "we're not going to give up the u.s. supremeg court for a generation bysu allowing barack obama to make one more liberal appointee." >> it's called delay, delay, delay. >> reporter: but the republican candidates pivoted to their differences, attacks like this

and jeb bush blurred the lines between policy and personal. >> the world trade center came down during your brother's reign, remember that. >> bush who will be campaigning with his brother tomorrow stood his ground. >> i am sick and tired of him going after my family. while donald trump was buildingdo a reality tv show, my brother was building a securityng apparatus to keep us safe. >> reporter: on "face the nation" today trump walked back the blame.th >> i am not blaming him. now could he have done something about it. his c.i.a. knew about things happening. >> reporter: for his part last night, marco rubio, who was looking to make up for stumbles in the previous debate, sparred with fellow senator ted cruz over immigration in an interview rubio gave in spanish. >> marco right now supports citizenship for 12 million people here illegally. >> i don't know how he knows what i said on univision because he doesn't speak spanish. >> reporter: but cruz saved his most stinging attacks for trump, arguing he's the true

>> for most of his life he has described himself as very pro- choice, and as a supporter of partial birth abortion. right now today as a candidate, he supports federal taxpayer funding for planned parenthood. >> you are the single biggest liar. you probably are worse than jeb bush. >> reporter: cbs news polling concluded that rubio won the debate. perhaps not so surprisingly, trump says he won the night. jeff, as for those boos you may have heard coming trump's way from the audience, in a tweet today trump blamed the republican national committee who he said did a "terrible job of ticket distribution." >> glor: julianna goldman in washington, thank you very much. democrats in south carolina have their primary on february 27th, the week after the republican primary. the new cbs news battleground tracker poll shows hillary clinton holding her lead in south carolina nearly 20 points ahead of bernie sanders. it was a bitter cold valentine's day in the northeast.

the pope. >> reporter: today's mass brought pope francis into the heart of the problems he came toto address. ecapatec has one of the highest crime rates, robbery, kidnapping, murder and especially violence against women are daily facts of life. the message to people was basically "do not give in to temptations of crime as a way out of poverty." francis spoke out against thenst pursuit of prestige based on the relentless exclusion based on those who are not like us. he also warned of the dangers of becoming accustomed to a lifestyle where we think that our source and life force lieshink only in wealth. such are the dangers that, according to a local press report, the authorities began beefing up security here as early as january in anticipation of this mass. angie and her friends came at 3:00 in the morning to a place they would never otherwise dare to visit.
