tell temperament. does he belong. on the supreme court? >> when he walked out, you can see him open his binder and put his paper here and we knew he was eager to testify. and i have to say that when i heard him, i heard someone who i hope i would sound like if i us had been unjustly accused and to see his family behind him, as chris said. it was anger. but if i were unjustly accused, that's how i would feel as well. as it went on, his interaction with some of the members was too sharp. but the statement at the beginning i thought was pretty raw. but in keeping with someone who had been unjustly accused. >> he had exchanges with senator

feinstein, senator klobuchar and others that thought went over the lieutenant. he was aggressive, angry and i thought there was a tough dynamic there. as i watched him, part of me thought this is a man who believes that he did nothing wrong and being railroaded and furious about it. there were some lines that he delivered that were sharper, more partisan, more this is the clintons paying me back, this is a democratic smear campaign that i was surprised, struck to hear from a judicial nominee. i'm not at all surprised to hear that from colleagues in the committee on or television, but i was struck they thought his anger got the bes of him and he made a partisan argument that wuf been best left to be made for his defenders on the committee. >> made you wonder about his

suitability? >> yes, in my case. >> but sflart flake, you identified with it. you understood it. >> the part that he talked about, the mention of the clintons i didn't like either. it seemed partisan, but i have to put myself in that spot. i think you give a little leeway there. >> be sure to watch the interview tonight on the season premier of "60 minutes." the supreme court traditionally starts on the first monday in october. the new session is getting underway with eight justices instead of nine following the retirement in july of justice kennedy. for more on this we turn to our chief legal correspondent jan crawford. jan, chris coons and others have questioned judge kavanaugh's fitness to be on the supreme court. if confirmed by the senate, what implications could that have on the court? >> i would say probably zero. because you have to keep in mind that if brett brt is confirmed,

he will go in a court that already knows him and seen his views on the law. it's going to be hard for a justice kavanaugh to put this behind him. and just be seen as justice kavanaugh without this line being added to everything he wrote. i think that's going to be a bigger challenge. >> the trump administration's lawyer said, quote, it's a time of transition for the supreme court. are there any significant cases to watch out for? >> sure. i think we have to instead of thinking about what's on the docket for the next few months, we have to think about the entire term and the years ahead. and there are enormous issues that will have an impact on everyday american life including abortion rights, the rugs of immigrants. if brett kavanaugh is not confirmed, what happens then? mutt sense is there would be an effort to have another nomination and another justice confirmed pretty quickly, but if not and democrats were to take

control of the senate, i think everyone agrees that the democrats would keep that the nature of a virus is to change. move. mutate.
