Now it is time for the last word with my friend Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening

Lawrence. Good evening Alex we're going to be joined by Harvard Law School

Professor Lawrence Tribe to get his notion of what those flags flying tell us about Samuel Alito.

I'm eager to hear his assessment.

He's been thinking about it.

I'm sure he has.

I will be watching.

Thanks, Alex. Have a good show. Well the worst Supreme Court

justices were not appointed by the worst president. Donald Trump's three

Supreme Court justices have not yet proven themselves to be worse or more ethically challenged than the two who are now in an intense competition for the title of worst Supreme Court Justice,

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. They were each appointed 15 years apart by presidents from Connecticut who wanted you to believe

they were from Texas.

The Bush's were born in Connecticut where the family had deep roots. The father of the first

President Bush was Presscut Bush, a Republican senator from Connecticut. The

Bush family preferred to go to college close to home and so father and son presidents both went

to Yale.

They were what was then called Country Club Republicans, which simply meant they hated paying taxes. The first

President Bush was a supporter of Planned Parenthood before he was selected to be

Ronald Reagan's running mate in 1980 whereupon he had to suddenly

pretend that he was opposed to any and all abortions.

By the time George W Bush was running for president, Country Club Republicans

had been banished from the party and replaced by Born Again Christians, which George W Bush claimed to be.
