The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, 79, Saturday created an empty seat on the bench and a heated debate in Washington.

President Obama has vowed to nominate an appointee, despite objections from Republican leaders to wait until after the 2016 presidential election.

MPR News host Tom Weber spoke with Political Junkie Ken Rudin, University of Minnesota political science professor Tim Johnson and chief DC reporter and columnist for the Boston Herald Kimberly Atkins about Justice Scalia's legacy and the future of the court.
