what you and evan have in common is sandra day o'connor's family opened up diaries.had that same access to 41, whose death kind of bookends this period we're in. >> it does. and i'm glad you showed that. no greater man was ever served by a greater group of people there in houston. and one of the things that is so remarkable about evan's book, and i was lucky enough with as you say president bush, is you actually get inside the private thoughts of people who wanted you to think a lot of the time they didn't have any private thoughts. and one of the -- one of the things about president bush was as he used to say nobody wants to hear the president of the united states whine all the time. gee, that seems somewhat relevant. you know, you've climbed the highest mountain in the world. people don't want -- people want -- they look to you for a calm in a storm and i think the same is true with justice o'connor. and what evan's done so brilliantly here is given us this complicated portrait of a woman who i think wanted us to see as this tough westerner, as this pragmatic perso

that was how i viewed sandra day o'connor. brian: we have read that she is not well?o you know anything new about her situation? joan: no. the family put out a letter in 2018 where she was acknowledging alzheimer's. that was going on for a while, unfortunately. brian: you did a book on antonin scalia a. what was your number one take away from him? joan: he completely owned who he was. he was proud of some of his outrageous statements. he felt that he was always right, never in doubt, as they say. toould sit with him for two three hours and i would be exhausted. i would usually be the one who said, we are done. he was so interactive. he loved talking about his childhood. that was a real contrast. loved to talk about where he came from, his people. the current chief justice was much more reluctant. brian: what would you take away from your sotomayor biography? that was more of a political history of how she got there. it was a tale of how someone came from the bronx, the projects makes it onto the short list for a supreme court position and beats out the others. point g

ginsburg is a great activist but the person who got things done was sandra day o'connor.as the decisive vote in more than 325 cases, she kept affirmative action alive, she kept abortion alive. she had tremendous power, maybe more than any woman has ever had. >> and her relationship with the chief justice rehnquist, going back all the way to the time they dated may have helped a little bit. explain that relationship. >> amazingly justice rehnquist when he was just out of law school add san dray day to marry him back in 1952. they never told anybody. they didn't tell their families. >> why? >> my wife and i, who researched this book with me, we found love letters in justice o'connor's box of correspondent, 14 love letters to bill rehnquist to justice od o'day. harry blackman leaned over to rehnquist and say, "now no fooling around." >> we're not talking a hundred years ago. the collegiality or lack thereof it they didn't go to lunch together? >> they can't by memo. they're not hanging around talking to each other. even their top secret conference when they're all together,

appreciate that and being from arizona, we're very fond of former supreme court justice sandra day o'connor, and justice alito, it's a pleasure to hear from you today, as her successor, not replacement, you can't replace sandra day o'connor, but thank you again, both, for being here. my question involves financial disclosure. supreme court justices like all federal judges file an annual financial disclosure report each may. but unlike members of congress, these reports are not posted online. would you support a change in policy to online disclosures? >> as a practical matter, they are available online. almost as soon as they are released to the public. there are private groups that request all of the financial disclosure forms of the justices, as soon as that is possible, and as soon as they obtain them, they put them online, so as a practical matter, they are already available online, and anybody can see any of our financial disclosure forms. we follow the procedure that's set out in the ethics and government act, and in the implementing regulations of the judicial conference on this matte

george bush nominates harriet miers for a seat on the supreme court to take the place of sandra day o'connor. there's outrage because those on the left feel like she's too close to bush, a family friend. she doesn't have experience. she's never been a judge. she hasn't gone to one of the top law schools. she graduated from s.m.u. so there's all of that kind of emphasis on what we expect now from nominees. those on the right were also critical because is she approved by the federalist society? is she going to be conservative? or is she going to be like david souter? is she going to be a friend of the white house chief of staff which is how souter was -- how his whole nomination? so it was this whole question of what is our sort of model for nominating justices to the supreme court? bush has tried to go back to the old sort of crony model. abraham lincoln, andrew jackson, in some ways franklin d. roosevelt and even lyndon johnson who puts his personal friend abe fortas on the court in 1965. he had never been a judge. he was a practicing lawyer elevated to a seat on the supreme court. he's the

before him sandra day o'connor. john roberts is a different kind of justice.has much more conservative roots that i lay out in the book, but he also is so concerned about the institutional reputation of the supreme court. remember in november when he rebuked president trump by saying, there are no such thing as obama grudges or trump injustices. indeed there are, but he's trying to cut that republic ptar that view, but he is a man in the middle, so he'll be inching to the left. >>> thanks so much for that, joan. thank you for joining us on "inside politics." brianna keilar starts right now. >>> i'm brianna keilar live from c cnn's washington headquarters. underway right now we start in a stunning twist of the case of "empire" actor jussie smollett. prosecutors announced just moments ago they are dropping all charges against smollett. he was accused of staging a hate crime and filing a police report. but smollett spoke to reporters, still fiercely maintaining his innocence. >> i've been truthful and consistent on
