8:00
a personal tragedy. He has been through
8:02
that and political humiliations over the years.
8:04
He keeps going and going and plowing
8:06
forward. He's stubborn, personally stubborn politically. His
8:08
friends say he's not going to give
8:10
up the presidency, something he's had his
8:12
eye on for so long. He's carrying
8:15
on and he dismisses calls, whether it's
8:17
the New York Times editorial board tonight
8:19
or other Democrats for him to step
8:21
away from the ticket. He's staying in.
8:23
The only person who could maybe convince
8:25
him otherwise, the first lady, Jill Biden,
8:27
but she's with him, I'm told tonight.
8:31
Gentlemen, thank you for your analysis. And
8:33
now we're going to go to the
8:35
Supreme Court and a consequential ruling today
8:38
that could impact the prosecutions of more
8:40
than 300 cases related
8:42
to the January 6th attack on the
8:44
US Capitol, as well as
8:47
the special counsel case against former
8:49
president Donald Trump. CBS's
8:51
Jan Crawford is at the Supreme
8:53
Court. The ruling
8:56
means prosecutors may have overreached when
8:58
they charged several hundred January 6
9:00
defendants, including former president Donald Trump,
9:02
with obstruction of an official proceeding.
9:04
The felony charge, part of a
9:07
law passed by Congress to address
9:09
accounting fraud, carries a sentence of
9:11
up to 20 years in prison.
9:14
In a 6-3 decision written by
9:16
Chief Justice John Roberts, the court
9:18
said the law requires prosecutors to
9:20
show something more, that they impaired
9:23
the availability or integrity of records
9:25
and documents. Biden appointee
9:27
Katanji Brown Jackson joined the conservative
9:30
majority, with Trump appointee Amy Coney
9:32
Barrett in dissent with the court's
9:34
other two liberals. Of
9:36
the more than 1,400 people being
9:39
prosecuted for the Capitol riot, more
9:41
than 350 faced an obstruction
9:43
charge. 27 are
9:45
still serving their sentences for it.
9:47
For Trump, it is the basis
9:49
for two of the four charges
9:51
against him. But the decision does
9:53
not rule out obstruction prosecutions for
9:55
those defendants who interfered with evidence,
9:57
for example, certificates for state electors
9:59
that Congress was counting. Look,
10:01
today's decision is not to get out
10:03
of jail free card for Donald Trump.
10:06
The charges against Trump, I think, will
10:08
have to be reevaluated, but that's not
10:10
to say that the prosecution under this
10:12
law can't continue. Also today, the court
10:14
decided two other major cases, both in
10:16
a 6-3 vote. In
10:19
another opinion by Roberts, the
10:22
court overturned a 40-year-old decision,
10:24
long criticized by conservatives, that
10:26
gave federal administrative agencies sweeping
10:28
power to regulate wide swaths
10:30
of American life. And
10:33
in a decision by Justice Neil Gorsuch,
10:35
the court ruled that a town in
10:37
Oregon could enforce its ban on people
10:39
sleeping in parks and public spaces, even
10:41
if they are homeless. Now
10:44
the court will return to the bench
10:46
on Monday to release the last decisions
10:48
of the term, including that major case
10:50
on whether Trump can even be prosecuted
10:52
for his actions around January 6th. What
10:55
if any immunity does he have?
10:58
Margaret? Significant decision, Jan Crawford.
11:00
We'll be following your reporting
11:03
closely. Well, we are learning
11:05
new details tonight from the
11:07
10-count indictment against former Yuvaldi
11:09
school police chief, Pete Arendondo.
11:12
These are the first criminal charges over
11:14
the failed law enforcement response to the
11:16
killing of 21 people during
11:18
the mass shooting at Rob Elementary School
11:21
two years ago. CBS's Janet
11:23
Shamland spoke with the family members of two
11:25
of the children who were killed. Former
11:29
Yuvaldi school police chief, Pete Arendondo,
11:31
facing justice, a grand jury charging
11:33
him with failing to act as
11:35
a gunman killed 19 children
11:37
and two teachers at Rob Elementary
11:39
School. Wait, chief is in there.
11:41
Chief's in charge right now. Hold
11:43
on. The felony indictment accuses Arendondo of
11:46
delaying the response by law enforcement officers
11:48
as the gunman was hunting and shooting
11:51
children. The indictment says he
11:53
failed to identify this as an active
11:55
shooter incident to enforce the district's own
11:57
active shooter response plan and
11:59
to provide by keys that would allow officers
12:01

24:23
you ever heard of the term nuclear family? The
24:25
term was coined by an anthropologist in the 1920s
24:27
to describe the family
24:29
structure of a straight married couple and
24:32
their kids. Well, now over a century
24:34
later, that definition of family describes only
24:36
18% of American households. From
24:40
this is actually happening comes the 82% modern
24:42
stories of love
24:44
and family. A six part series focused
24:46
on those who have challenged.
