the supreme court -- lifetime appointments. and they make decisions that affect every single american. this is really important and so it's a teaching moment as well for people to understand what's at stake in elections, and what's -- what are the responsibilities that go along with being on the supreme court. and i hope everyone tunes in, everyone is engaged in this process. i look forward to having a very thorough review of the candidates. i think the process should not be jammed through the way president biden's predecessor did. it should be done in a thoughtful and serious way, where the public has an opportunity to see exactly what it is that president biden sees in this person, have open hearings, open debate, and hopefully a successful confirmation. >> valerie jaret, appreciate you tonight. thank you so much. >> you're welcome, anderson. coming up next, a close friend of justice breyer, constitutional law scholar laurence tribe joins us. also, hook at confirmation hearings that have left an indelible mark on history and perhaps the court, as well.
