>> we had a relatively liberal court when earl warren was the chief justice, a middle court with chiefconservative court with the three appointees. they have a solid conservative majority. you're seeing the goals that people like clarence thomas and samuel alito had in mind for all these years when they had to just sort of, you know, take their lumps in the minority, now they're in charge. and they are not holding back. they're making up for lost time. and i think we're going to see that again in the coming term. >> how much do you think the confirmation process will change based on how things have gone the last couple of years? >> it may change over time. i don't think it is going to change in the short-term. because we get this flip back and forth, whenever the other party takes control of the senate, then they want to extract revenge for what happened to them and i think that probably will go on for a while. >> i want to celebrate you, for those of us here and even before i knew you, there was a couple of moments that always stick out, you're, like, thank god for pete williams. here

court and the constitution for 60 years. i've seen it go through cycles. it swings widely. i remember when the birch society had signs up to impeach earl warren and bill douglas. when the right was upset at the left swing of the supreme court. now the left is concerned about the right swing of the supreme court. we have to respect the institution. we have to remember that these justices stand for the rule of law. we may criticize the decisions. that is fine. when my former colleague bruce warren trashes the supreme court as an institution, that will do tremendous damage. this country will come back to hurt her and her liberals. today the attack comes from the left. tomorrow it might come from the right. those of us who love the rule of law, a rule that we celebrate on july 4th, have to stand by our institutions as institutions. yes, criticize a particular decision and try to do better next time. yes, think about whether you can do legislation. but don't trash the court as an institution. don't do what my other former colleague said, pack the court. let the democrats in. soon the supreme court will sit in yankee stadium with 30,000 just

court has moved to the right. it goes through periodic shifts. during the time when earltion. it was in the middle ground when william rehnquist was the chief justice. now with these three recent appointees from president trump it's the most conservative court we've had in probably a century. they are feeling their oats. and you know, they are eager to take charge and move things in the direction that they think are best in the country. and the coming term will be a very big deal with affirmative action, with -- two really important election cases. so it's -- next term is going to be a blockbuster, too. >> well, we will be -- obviously you're part of our lives, and we'll always be here as the heart and soul, as savannah said, of nbc. but thank you, pete, for all your wonderful service. >> thank you, andrea. thank you for your friendship. >> and that's today's edition of "andrea mitchell reports." chris jansing starts after these messages. fter these messages association walk to end alzheimer's is full of them. because flowers find a way to break through. just like we will

earl warren scholar, who provided the -- in the brown b, v board. justice warren was a republican. i want to be very clear that we are not standing here trying to characterize the court as democratic or republican. what we are saying is, we characterize it as the last refuge for justice. i reject at hand any comparison to the court packing of the 1940's. this is not court packing. this is a constitutional privilege that we have. there's no debate that under constitutional structure, congress has the power and responsibility to regulate the size of the supreme court. we are not doing our job. i stand against any interpretation that we are packing the court. i probably ran to be one of the first cosponsors of hank johnson's legislation. and to support the 13 justices. it is important to note that for more than 50 years, most justices have been appointed by republican presidents. even though the gop candidates lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight elections. republican presidents appointed 15 of the last 19 justices. the correct port's majority -- the current quartz majority -- current court's majority was appointed -- the american people could still look to
