And now, from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN Audio, the Axfiles with

your host, David Axelrod.

One of my favorite episodes of all time was a conversation I had with Supreme Court

Justice Sonia Sotomayor for my Axfiles TV show in 2018.

A daughter of the South Bronx, Justice Sotomayor has one of the great and inspiring stories

of anyone I know in public life.

Here's that conversation.

Justice Sotomayor, so good to see you again, good to be with you.

It's always wonderful to see you, David.

I was telling you before that I found your book, your biography, your memoir, absolutely

riveting and honest and powerful.

And now you've written two more books, Derivative of it for young people.

I want to talk to you about that.

I can't, we're in this room, this conference room at the Supreme Court, surrounded by portraits

of the chiefs who have presided over the court.

And I just wanted to spend a couple of minutes on the moment that you think the court is

in now.

We just came through this, I know you guys are sort of cloister, but you're not cocooned.

We came through this acrimonious process of confirmation.

How do you view it from the inside?
