roberts on the supreme court, and he pushed for john robert roberts. john roberts has been a disaster, and he had two chances to knock out obama care, and he didn't do it, and it was ted cruz and bush including jeb that was pushing him, and those guys, they pushed john robert, and when it came to a vote on obama care, john roberts did not terminate obama care not once but twice. so ted cruz pushed and worked with very hard to get john roberts on the supreme court, and when he needed the vote, the most important votes that we have had, he let everybody down, including the con ser servative he let all of us down, because he let obama care stay. that is really a disgrace, and ted cruz gave us john roberts. >> and so are you a k conservative? >> i'm a conservative, yes, but i am also a common sense conservative, and if you need eminent domain to build roadways and highways and hospitals and the keystone pipeline, and the wall between us and mexico, and if you need the eminent domain, then you use it, a i'm a common sense conservative, absolutely. >> john k

he was the one that pushed for john roberts. john roberts has been a disaster. john roberts had two chances to knock out obamacare and he didn't do it. and it was ted cruz and bush, including jeb, that was pushing him and those two guys, they pushed john roberts and when it came to a vote on obamacare, john roberts did not terminate obamacare, not once but twice. so ted cruz pushed and worked with very hard to get john roberts on the supreme court, and when he needed the vote, the most important votes that we have had, he let everybody down, including the conservatives and he let all of us down, because he let obamacare stay. that is really a disgrace, and ted cruz gave us john roberts. >> and so are you a conservative? >> i'm a conservative, yes, but i am also a common sense conservative, and if you need to use eminent domain to build highways and roadways and hospitals and by the way, the keystone pipeline if it ever gets approves and the wall between us and mexico, if you need eminent domain, you used. i'm a common sense conservative, absolutely. >> john kasi

, and you know, i mean, he put john roberts on the supreme court, and he pushed for john robert roberts. john roberts has been a disaster, and he had two chances to knock out obama care, and he didn't do it, and it was ted cruz and bush including jeb that was pushing him, and those guys, they pushed john robert, and when it came to a vote on obama care, john roberts did not terminate obama care not once but twice. so ted cruz pushed and worked with very hard to get john roberts on the supreme court, and when he needed the vote, the most important votes that we have had, he let everybody down, including the con ser servative he let all of us down, because he let obama care stay. that is really a disgrace, and ted cruz gave us john roberts. >> and so are you a k conservative? >> i'm a conservative, yes, but i am also a common sense conservative, and if you need eminent domain to build roadways and highways and hospitals and the keystone pipeline, and the wall between us and mexico, and if you need the eminent domain, then you use it, a i'm a common sense conservative, absolutely. >> john

i is the one that pushed for john roberts. john robert has been a disaster. john roberts had two chances to knock out obamacare around he didn't do it. bill: two points on this. repeatedly at every stop, every rally he has, obamacare is out. ted cruz meanwhile actually sits on judiciary committee in the senate. cruz has said that he will filibuster any nomination. how do you see this going, steve? >> trump has also said he is in favor of universal coverage. he said at one point he is in favor of single-payer. hard to know what trump is saying from one die to the next. just in that sound bite you played that is pretty significant exaggeration. donald trump saying that ted cruz is responsible for john roberts being on the court. what happened was george w. bush nominated john roberts to be on the court. ted cruz wrote about roberts and endorsed his candidacy to be on the court. quite a suggest to suggest he is responsible for it. this probably works to the advantage of ted cruz and marco rubio both lawyers by training. cruz was of course a supreme court clerk f

bush made a mistake naming john roberts in 2005. >> i would not have nominated john roberts and governor bush pointed out why. it wasn't that the president bush wants to appoint a liberal to the court. it was the ease are choice. >> senator, that is not what you said when roberts was nominated to the court in 2005. i will put up an article you wrote with the time "the right stuff," in 2005, roberts nominated to the court. you wrote "john roberts should be a quick confirm, as a jurist, judge robert's approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the constitution and legal precedent." this was a long article, sir, you wrote for the "national review," and you seemed at the time an enthusiastic supporter of john roberts. >> it is true, when george w. bush nominated him i supported the republican president in the nomination. that was a mistake in hindsight. be absolutely clear i would not have nominated ron jobs i would have nominated my former boss on the court of appeals, a prove were conservative who had decades on the court defending conservative principles an

say first in texas. >> well, texas is is one, i axwree with john roberts. i think there are two states that might be up for grabs. texas is likely to be. this, the poll has tended to show cruz, the home state senator, is ahead. but you know, it's not just winning. it is the number delegates you get and there you get into the arcadia of the delegate rules and i know you don't, you're both, you like to go there, but you don't want to, but i have an example of what might happen in texas. take the latest poll is from monmouth college. it has cruz at 38. trump at 23 and rubio as 21. 44 delegates will be decided. if they get those percentages, cruz comes out 21, 12 to trump, 11 for rubio. but then you go to the congressional districts where again, the rule is you got to get more than 20% to be considered. but the first guy who gets more than 20%, the highest number, gets two delegates out of each district. 36 in texas. the number two guy gets one and the third guy even if he gets more than 20%, he gets zero, so what happens if in all 36 districts, the same patter

roberts nominated into the court. you wrote, "john roberts should be a quick confirm. as a jurist, judge roberts' approach will be of that his entire career, carefully, faithfully applying the constitution and legal precedent." this was a long article, sir, that you wrote for the national review and you certainly seemed at the time, i know you said you wouldn't have nominated him, you seemed to be an enthusiastic supporter of john roberts. >> well, chris, it's true. once george w. bush nominated john robert, i supported the republican president in his nomination. that was a mistake. in hindsight, that was a mistake. i would have nominated mike ludic, my former boss on the court of appeals. he was a proven conservative who had decades on the court defending conservative principles. and the difference was too many republican presidents aren't willing to spend the capital to nominate and confirm a principled conservative. i have spent my entire life fighting to defend the constitution and bill of rights and when it comes to the supreme court, i will invest every bit of po

ahead of that, john roberts in south carolina on the possibility and how they're gearing up for that possibility. john? >> reporter: neil, i'm an john kashich event so let me do my best john kashich. neil, you're an old-school guy. you want to see a brokered convention you've want to see the smoke-filled room and seeing the decisions being made that will affect the future of the country. not much chance happening but everything could happen -- >> very good, very good. >> i spent a bit of time with him. if i may offer a humble opinion of my own here, just in the area of opinion, i'd like to see a brokered convention because these things are boring from a reporting perspective. you go in there, it's all said and done, it's nothing more than an advertisement. but the last time it happened for the runs was 1976. reagan came in there to mix it up and gerry ford won in the first ballot. this is more like 1992 than anything, where it took bill clinton a heck of a long time to win and didn't win ohio and new hampshire because you have cruz there trump there, together the two of them have mor

chief justice john roberts was appointed three weeks later in 2000 a.m. what's extraordinary is this will only be the third time in history a president has tried to fill a vacancy during a presidential election year. it happened in 1988 and in 1968. the second question that's being asked right now is how many supreme court justices are there? there had been nine justices on the supreme court since insurance 1869. before that, the number of judges fluctuated between five and ten. congress has the power to decide how many justices there should be ultimately. the third question -- who appointed scalia to the supreme court. president ronald ray gran appointed justice anthony scalia in 1986. he was only 50 years old making him the youngest on the court at the time. italian-american justice served 29 years and four months. he was the longest serving of the current nine sitting justices. now who -- the fourth question we have here is who appoints supreme court justices? americans want to know this. really, tbs the president who appoints it and the u.s. senate ha

john roberts is in south carolina in anticipation of tonight's gop presidential debate. and, john, i know earlier we were speaking and you were telling me that you were following tweets and various postings to this reaction of this sad news. >> good evening to you, arthel. obviously, the twitter responses are short from the campaigns but we are getting something substantial in the way of press releases and e-mails back from some of the campaigns. marco rubio, senator from florida, has just weighed in, quote, today our nation suffered a deep loss. justice scalia was one of the most consequential americans in our history and a brilliant legal mind who served to interpret and defend the constitution as written. one of my greatest honors of my life was to attend oral arguments to see justice scalia eloquently defend religious freedom. i'll hold that memory forever. here's the key here in marco rubio's statement, the next president must nominate a justice who will continue justice scalia's unwavering belief in the founding principles we hold dear. janette and i mourn the loss

trump pointed out cruz supported john roberts, who upheld obama care. >> i did not nominate john residents. >> you pushed him. >> i supported him. >> you worked with him and you pushed him. why do you lie? >> donald you have got learn not to interrupt people. >> you pushed him. >> donald, adults learn not to interrupt each other. >> yeah, i know. >> those four were going at each other. john kasich quietly tried to soar above the fray. in a new american research group poll they find that john kasich is in second place behind donald trump after his second place finish in new hampshire. all of this bickering back and forth, we'll see where it takes the candidate after the final assessment here in south carolina next saturday night. >> we'll see whether that debate changed everything over the next six days. >> still ahead, much more on the life and death of supreme court justice antonin scalia. we'll talk to a friend of scalia's about the man behind the black robe. it's a fact. kind of like social media equals anti-social. hey guys, i want you to meet my fiancÉe, denise. hey. good to meet you

let's go live now to trump's campaign headquarters in des moines and john roberts. john? >> megyn, good evening to you. donald trump doing whatever he can including wishing his daughter would have her baby here in iowa. donald trump putting a brave face on the result, not saying witnesses a loss but declaring it a victory saying in june he was told by people closest to him don't bother going, they'll never warm up to a person like you. for him, he said it is a victory. but not the outcome he hoped for. he did want to win this. we started picking up signs it was after he skipped the debate thursday that late breakers would probably not going to go his way. we followed a bunch of door knockers around and found people who said i was for trump but now decided to go for cruz or i was for trump but decided to go for rubio. you know, i think rubio's close finish really is an indication that you can have all of the fame and fortune in the world but old fashioned show ledger and hard work counts for a lot. he lost in iowa. he's ahead in new hampshire and south carolina. leads in n

we have john roberts following the democratic race. we'll get to him. first, mike with the news from nevada. donald trump is favored, but does ted cruz think he can win there? >> reporter: well, harris, texas senator ted cruz sounded very upbeat about the race here in nevada, but did not make any bold predictions here. cruz held a rally a short time ago here in a community about 60 miles west or so of las vegas. his strategy seems to be hitting a lot of smaller towns between now and tuesday's caucus. cruz continued his swipes at the republican front-runner when peeking with reporters a short time ago. >> donald trump has dmonl straighted he has a relatively high floor of support, but he's also got, i think, a ceiling. and you've got nearly 70% of republican primary voters that don't believe donald is the right person to represent our party in the general election against hillary clinton. the national poll has consistently shown donald losing to hillary in november. that same polling consistently shows me beating hillary in november. >> reporter: so, ted

chief justice john roberts making this statement,

john roberts is live in greenville, south carolina, with the very latest

john roberts live at marco rubio's headquarters in new hampshire. i keep hearing the candidate has lost some of his swagger. have you seen that? >> i think you could see that the poll numbers haven't been quite as good as they were when he came out of iowa. but if he's lost some of the swagger, you couldn't tell by being here at rubio headquarters. there's no room in the phone bank, so a lot of folks sitting on the floor, making phone calls, because the campaign is over. it's now about getting out the vote. go through a lot of pizza here. they went through this in about 20 minutes. the other day, they had a pizza tower that went to the ceiling. now in the phone bank, this is where people are reaching out. there are about 1 thon people who have rotated through here in the last 48 hours, reaching out to voters. reaching out to the all-important independents or undeclared making sure they get everybody on their call sheets. they'll be dialing up to 7:55, because it's only a couple minutes walk to the polling precinct. marco rubio took it on the chin in

john roberts is live at the site of trump's watch party. hello. i. >> reporter: good afternoon. youpyok were talking with dave t this. the big question for donald trump, all these thousands of people who come out to massive rallies, will they come out to the caulks are irthis support kind of soft? donald trump in order to win tonight, is really relying on young people coming out, people who have never caucused before. they are considered to be the holy grail of iowa voters because typically they're not political, but donald trump seems to have touched a nerve with them. will they come out tonight? listen to these young folks who say they'll definitely be out to caucus. >> i do want to support trump and i don't believe i would be caucusing if it wasn't for him. >> sick and tired of the politicians lying and never done it withbecause i think they're a bunch of crooks and they lie. we got ourselves a businessman here that tells it like it is. >> young people are more toward trump and at lot of them towards bernie. interested to see how people are responding to each candidate. >> tr

as does our team of correspondents, john roberts live, clairemont, new hampshire. let's get to campaign carl. he's first in new hampshire. ted cruz going after trump in a big way after last night. >> he was. and ted cruz actually the campaign apologized to ben carson for having tweeted yesterday that he might be dropping out. the cruz campaign says that what happened was they heard on cnn that mr. carson was going back to florida. and they thought that that meant he was dropping out. and as soon as carson said he wasn't, they apologized. carson had been accusing them of dirty tricks. ted cruz roars into new hampshire with momentum from last night's surprise lead. and already, he is dealing with his two dearest rivals, marco rubio, who has an event here tonight, and donald trump. trump called ted cruz nasty repeatedly in iowa. the winner of iowa now, cruz comes to new hampshire and talks about character and some of donald trump's person characteristics. watch. >> i'm a big believer that you convey a lot about your character and how you conduct yourself. how you trea

so. >> john roberts, thank you for reporting from south carolina. joining me now is arthel neville. we have some stunning news here. >> i'm not sure if john is back up. i do have a question for john as he noted that, of course, all the presidential candidates naturally are offering condolences the as they should. but john, highlight this political fight that will ensure immediately. i believe i have john back in my ear. i can tell by the audio. john, are you there? >> hey, arthell. we just got something in for president bush. he said, laura and i mourn the death of an important journalist in justice and a ya. he was a towering figure and an important judge on the nation's highest court. he brought intellect, good judgment and wit to the bench and will be missed by colleagues. laura and i send our condolences to the entire scalia family. i'll keep monitoring my e-mail and twitter and all of that as things come over. but you were going to ask -- >> while you monitor that, of course the topic of who is next, who is the next justice after antonin scalia? you mentioned earlier that peopl

that will never happen again. >> john roberts is live in manchester, john? >> good morning to you. it's something that a lot of people thought was probably going to happen but still stunning to hear coming out of mark yes rubio's mouth he did fall on his face saturday night, that is what hurt him in the polls. take a look at the difference between numbers in iowa. in iowa, 29% of late breaking rotors went for marco rubio. john kasich does have a chance to make it up. another debate coming up in south carolina saturday night. marco rubio has to have the performance of his life if he hopes to do well. bright spots in the voting in new hampshire, he did well among young voters and seen as the most likely to win in november. you can make the argument he is the candidate for the party to coalesce around. they're not worried about kasich. they're worried about jeb bush, looks like jeb bush may beat him. jeb bush's super pac has gone got a ton of money that they're probably going to use to slap marco rubio silly before south carolina and if he can't beat ted cruz ear in new hampshire wher

wouldle' see. >> john roberts thanks much. let let's look life at donald trump's event in new hampshire. earlier the day governor chris christie going to great lengths to win over the voters. he even got down on one knee. >> all right. you haven't decided yet. here we go. >> i want to vote for you, and -- >> i was going get up, but i think i'll stay on one knee. >> you have earn my vote. >> thank you. >> truly. >> all right. i'm two for two. i'll leaving everybody. good-bye. thank you very much. >> chris steigerwald, fox news digital politics center, joins me now. you have got to do whatever it takes, right? >> when you are as far back in the pack as chris christie you don't have enough time to kneel in front of enough voters to catch up. i think he has to broaden his appeal. >> but he was two for two there. >> two for two. >> i want to lock at the latest polls nar coming out in new hampshire. again, these were taken saturday, or between thursday and saturday. so a lot could change obviously. trump still wildly in front there,

back to you. >> john roberts reporting live. thank you, john. >>> and now live pictures once again from bentonville, arkansas. donald trump's plane has been spotted above the skies of bentonville, if you will. he is en route from oklahoma city, where he held a rally. and you can imagine the crowd there anticipating his response to what marco rubio has been saying over the past 72 hours or so. hard to imagine how this would get more vitriolic, but i'm sure everyone will find a way. as we press on, many of the super tuesday delegates will be awarded proportionally. this is key. because every candidate is battling to carve out their piece of the action. ohio governor, john kasich, is in nashville, tennessee. here's live pictures, hoping to keep his campaign alive come march 15th. you're saying if you don't win it, pack up? >> oh, yeah, yeah. pack up if we don't win in ohio, that's for sure. but you know what? i win in ohio, it's a whole new ball game, and guess what? i will be the nominee. >> you heard it here first. now on to knew

john roberts is at headquarters tonight. john? >> nobody likes you on either side you must be doing something right, bret. two big questions for the rubio campaign tonight. the first question is how badly did chris christie hurt him in that debate on saturday night? marco rubio came out of his third place finish in with what his supporters are calling marcomentum. he has fallen back somewhat but very competitive with other people in the field. here is the big number that matters rubio tonight. in iowa 29% of late deciders went for him had. exit poll shows here in new hampshire that number is only 13%. less than half. the big question was that a result of what happened on saturday night? the other big concern for the rurk campaign how well does jeb bush do? coming out of iowa where bush wasn't even a factor the rubio campaign and some republicans were making the argument that marco rubio is the the candidate for the establishment and the party at large to coalesce around. if jeb bush does well tonight and polls certainly have him d

senior correspondent john roberts starts us off today. >> reporter: good evening. from bob jones university, and even at a forum on faith and family, the candidates didn't let up on their attacks against their opponents, taking every opportunity they could to get advantage in this ever so important state. evangelicals are a huge voting bloc here. some 60% of the electorate. jeb bush wants to make sure they don't vote for donald trump. >> is anyone here worried about the front running candidate shouting out obscenities in front of children? i can't imagine my dad. it just -- it is just like -- not going to do it. or you know, my brother who always wore a suit into the oval office. >> though bush is running fourth here in the most recent polls, he has drawn renewed fire from donald trump. a reflection that the bush name still carries a lot of weight in south carolina. with george w. bush coming to campaign next week, trump felt compelled to fire a preemptive strike. >> especially getting us in that quick sand. we got in quick sand. i was against the war in iraq. >> r

mike emanuel is in milwaukee, and first john roberts at the forum in greenville, south carolina. hello, john. >> reporter: good afternoon. four republican candidates going after the all-important evangelical vote here at bob jones university. evangelicals make up 60% of voters here in south carolina. that's why jeb bush, who was on the stage a short time ago, took the opportunity, speaking to all of the christian conservatives, to call out donald trump for the language that he has been using on the stump, saying, just doesn't seem very presidential. here's bush. >> is anybody here worried about the front-running candidate shotting out obscenities in front of children? i can't imagine my dad -- just -- it's just like -- not going to do it. or my brother, who always wore a suit into the oval office because he walked in there, he thought, this is hallowed ground. >> marco rubio making a point of bush's language, saying after he what he said on the stump the other day. a word used to describe a small cat he can explained what trump was getting out. >> wow, jeb bush stepped up his att

but john roberts is known for keeping the court working. when everything else is closed in washington because of mass i snowstorms, the court is often the only thing in operation. he is very dedicated to the work of the court and to moving forward. and you have to know he's going to find a way to do that with eight justices as they all will feel an obligation now. justice scalia was known as having friendships across the ideological sflit. close to justices goiinsberg an kagan. he is a larger than life character in so many ways. whether you agreed with him ideologically or not, you were entertained by him and you felt like we were with a friend. he was an entertaining person. >> shannon, you covered the supreme court. tell us little bit about the man. when people talk about his spicy voe lab care, his sense of humor, his ability to reach across the aisle, in spite of what some might think is a strident conservative view, this was a man who was almost bigger than life. >> dia, yeah, he loved life. he talked about his love for red whine and t

john roberts is standing by in michigan. marco rubio is in another battle for second place. we begin with carl cameron at trump headquarters in vegas which is at treasure island casino, not the trump hotel. >> the trump hotel is off the strip and this is one that is going to get lots of street traffic. to the extent the nevada entrance polls suggested the electorate here is very angry which is what we heard in south carolina, and new hampshire and iowa. they're not angry at the idea donald trump is going to win tonight. republicans felt hopeless in washington for years and the leadership wasn't serving purposes of the american conservative voter. donald trump has broken a lot of furniture in the last elections, including tonight and his turned into enthusiasm and hopefulness. that is the message for a campaign that is gaining steam and terrifying the opposition. the rubio and cruz campaigns have to be doing a lot of reassessments. donald trump has been breaking conventional wisdom, defying gravity at every turn. reporters, pundits, political consultants across the spectrum n

john roberts visits one bellwether county. carl cameron, we begin with chief white house correspondent ed henry and hillary clinton's once enormous lead in the national land scape essentially gone. >> reporter: pan sic spreading among some democrats about hillary clinton getting into trouble with bernie sanders right now. that the name of vice president joe biden is popping up yet again. a prominent, bill bart mann fired off an e-mail to fellow democrats saying, i would urge all of you to join me in keeping our powder dry until we see if the for the good of the party we should res direct draft biden movement. he specifically cited a new poll showing a steep dive for clinton. as bernie sanders pulled into a virtual tie with hillary clinton in a national poll, he packed the fame town hall so tight the fire marshal shut it down. and the spillover crowd waited in the snow to hear sanders stand up loud and proud. >> yes, we are going to move this country in a very new direction. thank you all very much. >> reporter: sanders leads h

that's where you'll find our john roberts. what you got, sir? >> hey, good morning to you. georgia, one of 11 states awarding delegates. 76 up for grabs here in georgia. donald trump currently leads by 17 points here, but rubio trying to build support by doing events here here in kennesaw in the

senior correspondent john roberts starts us off today. >> reporter: good evening. from bob jones university, and even at a forum on faith and family, the candidates didn't let up on their attacks against their opponents, taking every opportunity they could to get advantage in this ever so important state. evangelicals are a huge voting bloc here. some 60% of the electorate. jeb bush wants to make sure they don't vote for donald trump. >> is anyone here worried about the front running candidate shouting out obscenities in front of children? i can't imagine my dad. it just -- it is just like -- not going to do it. or you know, my brother who always wore a suit into the oval office. >> though bush is running fourth here in the most recent polls, he has drawn renewed fire from donald trump. a reflection that the bush name still carries a lot of weight in south carolina. with george w. bush coming to campaign next week, trump felt compelled to fire a preemptive strike. >> especially getting us in that quick sand. we got in quick sand. i was against the war in iraq. >> r

senior national correspondent john roberts live in florence, south carolina. i understand it's jeb's first day today? >> it is, february 11th, 1953, is when he was born. makes him 63 years old today. people saying happy birthday to him today. bush spent a lot of time on his record as governor of florida. also spent some time convincing people not to vote for donald trump. next week bringing in the 43rd president of the united states to help him make that case. the front-runner is not here today. he's in louisiana ahead of the march 5th primary there. last night he was in south carolina, a big rally up at clemson, university. several,000 people in the most conservative part of the state. that should bode well for trump. continuing to rip jeb in his big money campaign. listen to this. >> i've spent less money than anybody else and i'm number one. right? right? nice. so i've spent less money and then you have other people like jeb who spent more money than anybody else and he's down towards the bottom of the pack. is that what you want as a president? >> and the

fox news senior national correspondent john roberts reported from greenville where scalia's death in the vacancy on the court was a big issue. john? >> good morning, chris. this morning, ben carson like in the last night debate of the old roman coliseum has sharp differences between the candidates on policy and personally, but the debate started off with a rare moment of agreement over the passing of supreme court justice antonin scalia. >> i believe the president should not move forward and i think we ought to let the next president of the united states decide who will run that security. >> it is up to mcconnell to stop it. delay. delay. delay. >> we will not give up the united states supreme court for a generation by allowing president obama to make another liberal appointee. >> that was the end of getting along. from there it was a free for all, highlighted by an all out declaration of war between donald trump and jeb bush. >> donald trump was building a reality tv show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe. i'm proud of what he did. all the world trade cen

john roberts in south carolina. maybe just a few hours of sleep tonight, john. >> just a couple. >> good luck. >>> the democratic candidates roll into south carolina and republicans leave the state one man down. former florida governor jeb bush dropped out of the race last night in an emotional seven-minute speech that capped an underwhelming bid for the white house. what does his exit mean for the republicans still standing? all right. so anything that surprised you at all out of south carolina last night? trump didn't win by as big a margin as expected but still ten points. >> i don't think that was surprising to anybody. trump led in south carolina for a long time. his win was impressive. i think we'll continue to see him doing well in a lot of states and he'll win nevada in a few days and roll into super tuesday in a strong position. what was surprising was the comeback kid. rubio's sins in new hampshire have been cleansed with second place in south carolina. nobody really expected that after his fifth place fin

we'll find out if it works a week from now. >> john roberts reporting from south carolina. john, thanks for that. >>> and senator marco rubio who was trying to rebound from a shaky debate performance last week in new hampshire, senator rubio, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thank you. thanks for having me back. >> last night you said that president obama basically doesn't have the right to appoint scalia's successor. take a look. >> i do not believe the president should appoint someone. it's not unprecedented. in fact, it's been over 80 years since a lame duck president has appointed a supreme court justice. >> now, senator, when you say lame duck, president obama has been a lame duck since he was re-elected in 2012. are you saying that no president can appoint someone to the supreme court in their second term? >> well, i'm not saying it's illegal. he most certainly has the power to nominate someone. the senate said in mitch mcconnell last night is clear. we're not moving forward until after this election. the main reason is this president is no longer -- he's -- this w

john roberts down there in south carolina, despite the snow. have a great day, take care. jon: hillary clinton is looking to shore up support after a big loss to bernie sanders in new hampshire. they debated last night, the last before their caucuses next saturday in nevada. arguing over their support of president obama. listen. [applause] >> the kind of criticism that we heard from senator sanders about our president i expect from republicans, i do not expect from someone running for the democratic nomination to succeed president obama. >> that is -- [cheers and applause] oh, madam secretary, that is a low blow. i have worked with president obama for the last as a result of his efforts and the efforts of joe biden against unprecedented, i was there in the senate, unprecedented republican obstructionism. we have made enormous progress. [applause] jon: daniel henninger is deputy editorial page editor for "the wall street journal" and, boy, they were both trying to bear hug barack obama last night. >> yeah. well, i think hillary clinton has decided a couple of things. one, i
