of the supreme court. joining me now to discuss is david kaplan, the author of the most dangerous branch inside the supreme court s assault on the constitution. thank you for joining us, mr. kaplan. i appreciate it. if cavanaugh. good to be here. if he does get confirmed, how will he be received by news new colleagues on the court after what we saw today? the justices tend to have a short memory when it comes to the trevails of nominees at hearings. we saw that with clarence thomas. almost 30 years ago, he really went through the milan yet, when he got to the court, established close relationships, cordial relationships with almost all the justices. and because of his personal skills at the court, he is beloved at the institution by staff, and i talk to a majority of the justices for my book. on a background basis. i can t tell you who i talked to. but they all like him.
