7:03 am
presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public. >> announcer: this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome do "cbs this morning." federal judge neil gorsuch is president trump's pick to fill the vacancy of the supreme court. gorsuch has built a consistent, conservative record in his ten years as a judge. the president calls him a man who our country really needs. he says the nominee's qualifications are beyond dispute. >> the 49-year-old gorsuch is a member of the tenth circuit court of appeals in denver, the youngest high court nominee since clarence thomas in 1991. his outlook as a judge is similar to the late antonin scalia. >> he went to law school with former president obama who tried and failed to choose scalia's replacement. jan crawford has more on the
7:04 am
confirmation fight ahead. >> reporter: good morning. from the moment we learned about just disantonin scalia's death, then candidate trump promised to name conservative judges to the supreme court. as he unveiled his nominee last night, he said he fulfilled that promise. >> millions of voters said this was the single most important issue to them when they voted for me for president. i am a man of my word. >> reporter: in a prime time address president trump introduced his supreme court choice to the nation. >> today i'm keeping another promise to the american people by nominating judge neil gorsuch -- >> reporter: the 49-year-old federal appeals court judge appeared moved. >> justice scalia was a lion of the law. agree or disagree with him, all of his colleagues on the bench cherished his wisdom and humor. like him, i miss them. >> reporter: addressing a room
7:05 am
full of friends and lawmakers, gorsuch echoed the late justice in describing his conservative philosophy. >> our legal order, it is for congress and not the courts to right new laws. it is the role of judges to apply, not alter. a judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge. >> reporter: he's been compared to scalia for his sharp intellect. with the solid conservative resume, he sided with religious leaders. while he has no specific rulings on abortion rights, in his 2006 book on assisted suicide he argued against that practice as the taking of life. born and raised in colorado, gorsuch moved to washington, d.c. as a teenager when president reagan tapped his mother to become the first woman to head the environmental protection agency. >> you move very easily in these circles here in washington and oxford. at his core he's still a guy who
7:06 am
grew up in denver, colorado, felt part of the west, felt that was his home. >> attorney mark hanson recruited gorsuch after his clerkship byron white and anthony kennedy. >> when i practiced with him, he was always willing to listen to colleagues, adversaries, courts. he was not hostile, not adversarial in his manner. >> reporter: those qualities could help build consensus on the court. minutes after president trump's announcement, liberal protests floktd to the steps of the supreme court calling gorsuch too extreme. some democratic senators immediately came out vowing to oppose this nomination. others said they would demand a careful scrutiny of his record. the white house quoting a legal observer saying the nomination would be impossible to oppose, but in this climate, nothing is impossible. >> that is true. thanks, jan. judge gorsuch will be on capitol hill in the hour to meet with senators who will decide his nomination.
7:07 am
he'll need to get past senate democrats who are furious that republicans blocked judge merrick garland's supreme court nomination for 293 days. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the brewing fight. >> good morning. many democrats refer to this as a stolen seat. they believe it was president obama's right to name this supreme court justice. they have threatened to hold up the no, ma'am names for an undefined period of time. some have said they are going to vote no. others say they have a lot of questions. >> i have very deep serious concerns as to whether he is in the mainstream. >> reporter: like many senate democrats, connecticut's dick blumenthal expressed skepticism last night, but not outright opposition. >> i'm troubled by his stance on privacy rights, particularly women's health care, worker and consumer protection, public health and safety. >> reporter: republicans meanwhile were thrilled, praising gorsuch as impressive,
7:08 am
respected, a consistent conservative. south dakota republican john thune. >> i think it's very tough, very tough to attack this judge's credentials. >> reporter: his temperament helped gorsuch win unanimous approval from the senate in 2006 when he was up for appeals court judge. among those who did not oppose his nomination, then senators barack obama, hillary clinton, joe biden and the current democratic leader chuck schumer who has said for weeks he has one key criteria. >> nominate a mainstream person, not someone way out of the ma mainstre mainstream. we'll fight that nominee tooth and nail. >> reporter: last night schumer said i have very serious doubts about judge gorsuch's ability to meet this standard. >> today i am nominating chief judge merrick garland -- >> reporter: democrats are in no mood to hand republicans an easy victory after they successfully blocked president obama's
7:09 am
supreme court nominee for ten months. republican leader mitch mcconnell insists it's apples and oranges. >> this is the beginning of a four-year term, not the middle of a presidential election. >> reporter: it takes 60 votes to approve a supreme court judge. republicans have left the opposition open to noek that down to 51, blow up the filibuster depending on how long democrats stall. they view that as a last resort because it could come back to bite republicans when they're in the -- >> he fought to overturn california's gay marriage ban paving the way for marriage equality. boiz is share of boiz schiller and flexner. >> good to be here. he is enormously brilliant as an attorney? >> absolutely. as a judge, i think president trump was right last night when
7:10 am
he said he is somebody with tremendous legal skills, a brilliant mind, outstanding discipline. i think all those things are true about him. i also think he is somebody who is not in the ideological mainstream. >> ideologically where is he compared to justice scalia. >> comparable, maybe more conservative on some issues. he's got a wide variety of views. we don't know that much about him because he's been on the court of appeals. it doesn't get quite the same mix of cases. >> let me understand what you're saying. are you recommending the democrats not support him? >> i think the democrats have to take a very careful look at him. this presents a dilemma i think. you have somebody who is a brilliant legal mind, somebody who, if you had an academic test for judges, would pass all those
7:11 am
tests. on the other land, he is not in what i believe to be the mainstream of judicial thought. one of the things that we learned from judge garland is that it's not enough to be a brilliant judge. it's not enough to be a great judge. if that were true, there wouldn't be a vacancy, judge garland would be in that seat. >> you heard lindsey graham say a minute ago he's much onchts happy, the democrats seem to be mucho mad. seems like we're getting in a hit for tat situation. do you think it's becoming such a political issue and really not about what it's important for the supreme court? >> i think it's both. i think what is important for the supreme court is that you do have ideological balance. you can't have a rule that only republican presidents get to appoint supreme court justices and the democrats have to accept whoever the republican puts up. i think it's unfortunate.
7:12 am
i was on this program a few months ago and talking about merrick garland, and i thought it was unfortunate he wasn't confirmed. i think it's unfortunate that we've gotten into a situation in which people are looking at trying to appoint people that are a sure vote to the left or the right. >> there's a lot of talk this is about the second pick that president trump gets to make. of course, gorsuch will replace another conservative scalia. there's a front page piece in "the new york times," picking gorsuch would allow kennedy the idea that perhaps he could retire. that's the swing vote. >> that is the second shoe to drop, and very obvious. >> do you think, it's one strategy i heard, let this one go and save your fire for the potential kennedy vote? >> i don't think people will see it that way. the senate has got a responsibility to advise and consent. it requires 60 votes. if republicans want to abandon the 60-vote requirement, they
7:13 am
can do that. but there will be a time when the democrats are in the majority and that will come back to haunt them. >> here is what's interesting about this. when he was confirmed by the senate for the court of appeals, it was almost a unanimous vote. >> same thing with garland. >> it always comes back to this. because you did this to garland, we're going to do this -- >> i don't think it's that so much, not so much tit for tat. if you don't have balance, you don't have a balanced supreme court. so you've got to have the same rule for republicans and democrats. if you don't do that, you don't have balance on the supreme court. >> david boyse, you have the last word. >> thank you. key american ally using vong words to describe president trump's american first pledges, calling america a threat to europe in the same category as russia, china and radical islam. john kelly is defending the rollout and enforcement of the
7:14 am
temporary travel ban for seven mostly muslim countries. margaret brennan is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. perez's supporters want action on immigration. according to the latest reuters poll, 49% of americans approve of his executive order, but a growing number of federal workers and u.s. allies warn it may backfire. >> we must defend and protect federal networks and data. >> reporter: president trump unexpectedly postponed an executive order on cyber security as falloutover the temporary travel ban continued. >> this is not, i repeat not a ban on muslims. >> reporter: homeland security secretary john kelly insisted that border agents fully complied with court orders, halting the detention of travellers and said 721 u.s. visa shoulders had been turned away. >> certainly didn't learn about it on an airline. >> reporter: kelly denied reports that he was surprised by president trump's sweeping executive order. >> we did know the eo was
7:15 am
coming. we had people involved in the general drafting of it. >> reporter: amid the threat of isis, cbs news has learned that many u.s. embassies were caught off guard by the action and diplomats are scrambling to get travel exemptions for iraqi allies. hundreds sent a dissent cable arguing that the ban does not make america safer. more than 100 former u.s. officials who served under past presidents from both parties also sent a protest letter saying it will, quote, harm our national security by alienating key partners. >> we want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas. >> reporter: defense secretary james mattis was reportedly incensed by the travel ban and president trump's recent actions have raised concern among close allies. >> the change in washington puts the european union in a difficult situation. >> in an unusually critical
7:16 am
statement tuesday the leader of the european union referred to the trump white house as an external threat, comparable to china and russia. >> the declaration by the new american administration make our future highly unpredictable. >> reporter: the eu leader also said mr. trump's actions call into question the last 70 years of american foreign policy. today homeland security chief kelly will head to texas to meet q employees and discuss how to secure that border with mexico. >> thanks, margaret. the trump administration is taking new steps to push ahead with the controversial dakota access oil pipeline. a north dakota senator says the army corps of engineers has been told to issue a permit needed to complete the project. the nearly $4 billion pipeline will cross four states. native americans and their supporters have been protesting the pipeline. they worry a leak could pollute drinking water. tesla is defending its

7:18 am
learned the less acceptable rating. >> the head hit against the steering wheel through the air bag. we also measured elevated forces on the dummy's leg indicating a possibility of injury to the leg as well. >> reporter: tesla issued a statement saying one of the improvements recently introduced in january 2017 specifically addresses the acceptable or second highest rating that the model s achieved and in the small overlap frontal crash test and we expect new tests to yield the highest possible rating, good rating. the tesla received a poor rating in headlights, brightness and visibility on curves. >> this is considered a fail. the headlights aren't inherently unsafe. they meet the safety standards. >> reporter: in giving top honors to the volt and prius, the institute said those vehicles did well in all safety categories as well as installing
7:19 am
crash prevention systems. analysts note that the ins toouts tut's standards are far above the accepted industry norm. >> for people who own a tesla, you're fine. for people who are going to buy a tesla, tesla has already said they're going to address these concerns. you'll be fine, too. >> this is not the first time tesla had to defend safety standards. the national highway traffic safety administration recently released findings after a man was killed while the car was in auto pilot mode. nhtsa says it could not identify any safety related effects. we reached out to bmw on the safety test but have not heard back. norah? >> police body cameras are supposed to create transparency between officers and the community. ahead, the concerns about the incorrect use as the ,,,,

american airlines will soon start offering a basic economy ticket later this month. the move follows a similar announcement by united airlines. passengers who buy the cheaper seats cannot sit where they want or brick on a full-size carry-on. yikes. they also will not be able to change flights. kris van cleave is showing why major airlines are making this change. kris, i never thought of an overhead bin as a perk. good moshing to you. >> reporter: good morning. it's a perk now. we know that the vast majority of flyers buy their tickets based solely on price, which is why they've been filling spirit
7:43 am
als flig airline flights like this one. you only get the space underneath and if you want to use something like the overhead inbound, forget about it. the basic fares will save you money but it will cost. you'll be last to board, you can't choose your seat and if you have extra carry-on, you'll be forced to check it. these restrictive bargain tickets come as ultra low fare carriers like spirit are increasingly competing for customers. when we checked round tripp nonflight trips from chicago to los angeles, we found spirit's pair fare lower. spirit says on average their cost is at least 30% cheaper than major airlines even after paying for a bag, a seat assignment and a bench onboard. >> when it comes down to lower

costs and the convenient, i'll take convenience. >> reporter: united and american believe their no overhead bin ticket will be competitive. they'll attract fare focused flyers. >> they've got to wring every nickel with the new fees. >> reporter: chuck schumer is working on legislation to forbid the charge for overhead bins. the binless flyers give somebody a new way to save. >> an airline is offering a cheaper product for customers who want to -- they're budget-conscious and they want to find a way to get from point a to point b. >> they're segmenting their aircraft. first, business, coach, and no class. >> reporter: cbs news travel
7:45 am
editor peter greenberg. >> they'll find this so inconvenient that they're going have to upgrade and pay the price. >> reporter: spirit was the first in the u.s. to essentially charge for overhead bin space. does that hurt the business? >> not at all. our customers want to pay for what they want, not pay for things they don't want. >> we ah you you to pick and choose your travel experience. you're being told what the experience is going to be and i think they're going to find some people who aren't happy with it when they get it. >> reporter: exact pricing hasn't been announced but we know the fares will be yaus or loose, no cancellations. but they say once you get on the plane, everything will be pretty similar except no bins and you're probably going to be in a middle seat. >> middle seat is no fun. at least you have options. the bottom line is you want to get there and get there safely.

♪,,,,,,, good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, february 1st, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including supreme court nominee neil gorsuch. dan crawford looks at his record as a judge and chances of getting through the senate. first here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> candidate trump promised to name a conservative justice. >> a man of our country and a man who our country really needs and needs badly. >> many democrats refer to this as a stolen seat. they believe it was president obama's right to name this justice. >> are you recommending that the democrats not support him?
8:01 am
>> you have somebody who is brilliant legal mind. on the other hand, he is not i believe to be the mainstream of judicial law. >> officials want action, according to the latest polls 49% of americans approve of his executive order. spectacular video that captured a large stream of bright red lava pouring into the pacific ocean. pretty stuff. >> it doesn't even look real. >> it really doesn't. it looks like a painting or something. donald trump announced his supreme court pick live from the white house. i'll never forget where i was when i heard the news. >> it's historic, usually they'll announce this stuff in the morning, in the afternoon. it's the first time a supreme court nomination has ever interrupted an episode of ncis. so this is big. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell.
8:02 am
president trump said the supreme court nomination of kneel gorsuch fulfills another promise he made to the american people. he was chosen to fill the seat that's been vacant since antonin scalia died nearly a year ago. >> he has degrees from columbia, harvard and oxford. he arrived on capitol hill a short time ago to meet with republican leaders. some democrats already say they oppose his nomination. our jan crawford who, by the way, was the first to report back on january 21st that gorsuch was the leading candidate. go you, jan, on that. hey, jan, i heard this morning one of his clerks describe him as a normal dude, that he skis, fly fishes, he's a great family man. we know about his sterling educational pedigree. what can you tell us about his judicial history? >> reporter: gayle, people who know him and have served with
8:03 am
him describe him as a learned man. not only in the life but in the law. remember, he has that doctorate in philosophy from oxford. on the bench they say he's thoughtful, reflective, very well read, highly skilled writer and has written extensively about religious liberty. he sided with religious employers who were objecting about the obamacare contraceptive mandate. he has a sterling resume. >> what do you think the line of attack will be, that religious question? >> reporter: i think already you're seeing democrats question his views not only on abortion but whether or not he would move the court dramatically to the right which, of course, is not going to happen. remember, he is replacing a conservative icon in justice antonin scalia. he has modeled his judicial philosophy very much after that, after justice scalia.
8:04 am
he does not have justice scalia's sharp elbows. many people think it will serve him well. you can't do anything on the supreme court by yourself. you have to persuade your colleagues. sometimes scalia struggled with that. >> he clerked twice for white and also anthony kennedy. >> reporter: that's right. justice kennedy thinks very highly of judge gorsuch. he will be now returning to the court if confirmed before the summer to serve with the justice with whom he clerked. that's never happened before. but, of course, there's also wide speculation that justice kennedy will be stepping down maybe this summer or next. that would give president trump his second nomination. >> jan, great reporting from the beginning. thank you so much. >> thanks. president trump's nominee for education secretary is one step closer to confirmation, narrowly voting to support betsy devos. she is facing allegations that
8:05 am
she plagiarized answers to fill out her application from those before. at least two republican senators reportedly have not committed to supporting her in the full senate vote. margaret spellings was education secretary under george president w. bush and now is the president at the university in raleigh. good morning. >> good morning, norah, and friends. >> yes, and friends. >> margaret, it's one betsy devos has spent a lot of money supporting charting schools, wants to expand the use of charter schools. donald trump said he would divert $20 billion in federal funds to help support school choice. what is betsy devos going to do for public education? >> well, i think the question is, what is she going to do for children across our country and helping them get opportunity through education and certainly charters and choice are part of that recipe. we also know that most of our
8:06 am
students will be attending public schools and so that's where accountability and all the other things that are in the purview of the department of education come into play. and i expect her to listen a lot. this is the era of the states. and i expect that she'll be an onest broker and a great leader for all of our schools. >> do you have any question about her commitment to public education? >> you know, i don't. i think her record is over the many decades that she has been involved on the battlefield, fighting for school reform, fighting for opportunity for students in michigan and around the country. she has an open approach to where those educational opportunities are provided, whether they're charter schools or private schools or any kind of school. i mean, i think the question is, where can we find the best education for students, not what's the name on the door. >> word is that you've been advising her because you certainly know this job. what are you saying to her, number one, that you care to share with us and what do you think is the biggest challenge
8:07 am
she faces if she is confirmed? >> well, i've advised her to get out about the country and learn and listen. you know, any of us who take these big jobs in washington know that you don't know everything there is to know about the department till you get in there. assemble a great team around her. that's obviously key. and go and find out what's on the hearts and minds of people who work in schools and in universities around this nation. and, you know, i know that she's going to do that. this is the era of states and local districts. this is where the action is. so i think she's going to pursue a deregulation agenda, trying to free states and locals to meet objectives around closing the achievement gap, which has always been the priority of the department of education. >> i talked recently to bill gates and also to another leading philanthropist who basically said they spent a lot of money and it's so very hard to change public education. what's the problem?
8:08 am
>> well, i think often the interests of adults are put before the interests of students. that's why i'm so encouraged by betsy's commitment really to a student-centered approach. we talk a lot about pay and benefits and tenure and all those things that are really adult issues. and often lose sight of some of those student issues. and so, you know, i think that's a refreshing new look at things. that's why accountability is so important, that we understand what the bottom line results are for students. >> you know, there are charges of plagiarism. does that concern you? >> many questions were posed to her and obviously she had staff and others help her compile those answers. i think that's a silly gotcha myself. the questions about her character, her leadership ability and her experience are obviously fair game, but i think
8:09 am
that's kind of a red herring myself. >> this is a silly gotcha, too, what happened to that game that you and i bet on? >> march 4th, my friend. $100 on the looine. go heels. >> margaret said it's going down. thank you very much. charlie said right back at you. he's ready. >> bring his hundred dollars. >> okay. he can do that. atlanta falcons are headed to the super bowl, did you hear? for the second time in the team's history. their success has given their owner, arthur blank, a whole lot to dance about this season. he's in our toyota green room. doesn't look like he's dancing yet. how the falcons have defied the odds and whether they can do it,

8:19 am
because it offered them an opportunity to reconnect with their old neighborhood, one they hadn't seen in more than 20 years. >> we knew that once we were released that people are always going have that stigma against you that you were in prison, so we wanted to prove that we were assets and not liabilities, that we could go back into the community and be productive citizen citizens. so many guys we hire are guys who had felonies and couldn't get hired somebody else. if your ego doesn't stop you from picking up a broom and working, we got you. the kids in the neighborhood who come in who clean windows and tables to keep them off the streets. >> i didn't want to say that. we to do that. >> they know that because they come hustle us every day. >> you both fought for a very, very long time for this kind of opportunity. >> mm-hmm. >> what's the best part of

8:32 am
>> since they signed the order administration officials including sfieser have used the word "ban" to describe the order it's a word the president himself has used. he said it in the oval office on saturday morning. >> we have a strict ban and we'll have extreme vetting which we'll have in this country for many years. >> he also used a word on twitter writing this. if the ban were announced with a one-week notice, the ban would rush into our country. he's treating everybody's arguing whether or not it's ban. call it what you want. it's about keeping bad people with bad intentions out of our country. the "new york post" reports on the happy news of a boston marathon survivor and the fireman who saved her. they're getting married. the fireman rushed to help her when she lost her right leg in the bombing in 2013.

8:35 am
and the new england patriots. if the falcons win, you can bet this man will be dancing again. arthur blank, good morning. we welcome you to the table. >> good morning. thank you, gayle. nice to see you again. >> you're in the toyota greenroom with your lovely bride angie who says you have a very big heart and she was not surprised when you said i want to take all of your employees. >> all of our businesses live by a set of core values and culture and there's so many people that support the atlanta falcons beyond the field, the players and coaches. >> everybody knows that -- most people don't do it. >> it's part of what we do. we live our values, we run our businesses by our values, and that was the right thing to do. >> when the season started -- sorry for interrupting yo be i think this is really important. when the season started nobody thought the falcons had a chance. did yu? >> we always had a chance. every team in the nfl has a chance, but i think our offense
8:36 am
has formed at a very high level. our defense played with six, seven games to go on the regular season in the playoff series and so i think once i saw the younger players really coming along, the whole team coming along on defense, i felt we had a unique opportunity. funny story in that regard. cbs is hosting the super bowl for 2000159 and u we were excited about that. when we were in our room, the owners' room where we were having the vote take place, texted the coach, dan, we just won a chance and i hope we'll be playing as well. he texted me immediately. he said i plan on playing there sooner. so our head coach dan quinn foretold it. >> you really built this team person by person, coach by coach. >> we have.
8:37 am
we go through changers over the years. i've been the owner since 2002. dan quinn, we had a great coach before him, coach smith who was wonderful in a lot of ways. dan quinn has stepped it up. the general manager has worked beautifully with him. dan knows exactly the scheme he wants to play, offense, defense. understands exactly the prescription he wants for every single player, height, weight, speed. >> every team is built around a great quarterback. >> we were fortunate enough to draft matt riechblt i think he will be the mvp this year. he can't vote for ourselves but we think he's a great candidate. we'll see on saturday. >> you talked about coach quinn and he has bumper sticker phrases. fast and physical.
8:38 am
sharp as ierchlt include everyone. the one that really caught on is in brotherhood. >> if you know dan quinn, these are not phrases he picks up in a book. they're the way he lives his life. you know, he's very committed to that notion of unity and brotherhood and players who play for each other. they play for themselves, sure, but they play for each other, their team, the city, the fan. dan has supported that philosophy. the first time i met him in the interview process a few years ago throughout the first season, second season, it takes a while for people to understand this isn't just coachspeak. he truly believes it. we're blessed in having him in terms of the leadership. >> i was going to say -- i'm not sure what you want to talk about. >> the patriots. >> go ahead. i want to talk about something else go. ahead. >> i know you're good friends with bob kraft. >> right. >> we like bob kraft too.
8:39 am

flipped the traditional power roles giving the kids more sway. jennifer wallace covered parents trends. good morning. what do we know about this changing family dynamic? >> i think what the researchers are picking up on in this report is that for the last 40 years the amount of time parents spend with their kids is ever increasing. dads are spending three times the amount of time they did in the mid-'70s. moms are spending 50% more time despite the fact that now 71% of the mothers are working outside of the home. more of us are working but more of us are spending more time with our kids, finding more resources, financial and time. >> the result of that? >> there could be a downside of that. overwhelmingly it's a good friend. we are now parents who want to invest in our kids, have a close relationship. we want to have more of a dialogue than parents had maybe historically in the past. the downside is that sometimes that dialogue can become
