It's now time for the last word, the Florence O'Donnell, good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Alex.

We have Sheldon Whitehouse joining us tonight on the day when his lonely crusade for Supreme

Court ethics actually came to a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and ethics

won.

But just barely.

And that is, I'll take one for ethics.

Sheldon Whitehouse is leading the charge on this and I am eager to hear what he has to

say about.

I think one of the most pressing issues in not just the American court system, but in

American society, given the role of the courts.

And Alex, I'm going to get into something later in the hour that I've been very specifically

avoiding, and that is commenting on Robert Kennedy Jr.

I have reasons for my reluctance, including my experience with him in a college class,

which I will talk about a little bit.

But today was the day where it broke through to the point with his testimony that I can

no longer avoid it, and I'm going to have to, it'll be more than a few words, and it

will be later in the hour.

There is much to say about him.

I have a bit to say about him, and this is the night for that.

Well, I'm eager for a deep cut on you and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in college, so I will be

tuning in for that in many other reasons.
