let's compare john paul ii with francis. john fault paul the second grew up in poland under communism. he knew what that system could do and he wrote some of the encyclicals and writings that of our greatest support the church is ever given to the free market economy and he sees it as a way that can allow for what we talked about. on the other hand francis grew up in argentina which he's very colored by the argentine society in which he grew up. i think when he hears the word capitalism he thinks argentine capitalism. which many of us would call crony capitalism. the way to succeed is to have friends in the government. it's not that competitive that most of us think of. there's a good chapter in the book that draws out that they make great detail showing exactly how pope francis agencies capitalism different than the economists writing it. we are in agreement with him that crony capitalism is not good. it drops argentina from the top ranks of the developed societies. that's not what we want at all. >> host: the pope has talk

it's my distinct honor to introduce retired supreme court justice john paul stevens. he is one of the living legends of american jurisprudence. it's true. [applause] stevens became the 101st supreme court justice after being nominated by gerald ford in 1975, and was swiftly confirmed by the senate in a unanimous vote. that's not happening anytime soon. [laughter] later while looking at his presidency, president ford remarked he was prepared to allow history's judgment on his entire term in office to be rested exclusively on his nomination of justice john paul stevens to the supreme court. justice stevens joined the court when he was 55 years old. he served for 35 years. the third longest tenure of any supreme court justice in american history. during those years he shaped public discourse on a breathtaking variety of issues. from the rights of guantanamo bay detainees to copyright laws, to environmental regulation. whether it was flagburning, vote counting, or george carlin's seven dirty words, justice stevens' voice leaves us with a rich history of his fine mind and

court who have served longer on the court than john paul stevens. john paul stevens has been able to see every televised supreme court confirmation hearing in history. and he has seen enough of brett kavanaugh. a judge who he once admired. and after seeing brett kavanaugh in that hearing room last week justice stevens decided today to take his place in history as the first former supreme court justice to ever publicly oppose the confirmation of a nominated supreme court justice. and justice stevens said that he was offering his opinion today, quote, for the good of the court. leading off our discussion now lisa graves, former chief counsel for nominations for the democrats on the senate judiciary committee and a former deputy assistant attorney general. also mimi roca, an msnbc legal contributor, and ambassador wendy sherman, global contributinger. and she helped anita hill make her way through the senate process during the clarence thomas confirmation. she is author of the new book "not for the faint of heart, lessons in power, courage and persiste

if they are thinking about the things that john paul stevens talked about, obviously kavanaugh thinks he did not quite seal the deal, that thursday essentially in hindsight was not a good idea. he didn't win that day. he essentially failed. the longer i think people look at the testimony, i mean, he -- it was probably one of the most bizarre public performances we have ever seen, certainly from a judge. we obviously saw clarence thomas there almost 30 years ago, and he was angry, but he was also, you know, dignified in his presentation there, and that is something that we didn't see from judge kavanaugh on thursday. i think for a lot of people -- republicans i talked to, setting aside ford's allegations, they also felt like what about his temperament, what about this kind of ranked partisanship that he talked about during his testimony? >> which he tried to address in the op-ed, right? he is trying to go back to i can be fair and impartial, and that's one of the things that has been raised in questions by editorial boards and people not comfortable with his nomination and also by just

. >> you talked about john paul stevens. there are two lines of criticism that opened up in the aftermath of kavanaugh's testimony. one was has he been truthful or perjured himself about his behavior while he was drunk, and then look at how he behaved, is he going to uphold the integrity of the court. you said the american bar association came out and said there should be a hearing, and that was difficult for kavanaugh, and then the retired justice saying he may not be for the court. >> what is unprecedented is for brett kavanaugh to campaign, which is what that op-ed is. i recommend everybody go and read the op-ed carefully. he doesn't apologize but he wrote it because he thought he had to. >> apparently it was his idea. it was not the fox news interview he was pressured into from the white house, and it was not an audience of one, but in a serious way it was his recognition that his second performance was a real problem, and there were questions of temperament and judicial independence, and that con tp u contradicted -- >>

the damage this may have done or may do to the reputation of the supreme court that former justice john paul stevens now says judge kavanaugh might not have the right temperament for the job you know how to supreme court has always been political but it's important for the credibility of the court for the integrity of really our entire system of government that we be able to see them as our supreme court justices as people who do aspire to look beyond partisan fights and uphold a higher vision of the law what justice cavanagh did it his hearing last week literally threatening democratic senators say what comes around goes around. is unprecedented unbelievable. cuse in him accusing democrats of taking prevent for the clintons it really does politicize the court in a way that i don't think we've ever seen before and now trust in government is a more sacred thing for democrats in general they are the party that believes that government should be able to get things done whereas republicans since ronald reagan have been dining out on this idea that the government can't get anything done so in a s

when he said the name of the clintons, his invoked politics, and that's one of the reasons we saw john paul stevens come out later saying he believes kavanaugh was not fit. he's seen incredible opposition from "the washington post," the editorial he board which has not opposed a supreme court nominee, liberal or conservative dating back to 1987 with bork. and of the justices pick, four were nom flayed by president who first -- and the slim majority of senators who said they would vote to confirm judge kavanaugh represents tens of millions fewer -- than the minority of senators who voted to reject him. will the supreme court, now mirror the country it serves? >> certainly it doesn't when you look at the makeup, but it does -- it does highlight the stakes in you're elections. in the 2016 election, there were democrats that did not feel particularly motor investigated. they did not show up to vote in large enough numbers, and you saw the marging of was so flooro. and what democrats are counting on this time ash is the lesson of the 2016 election and the prospect of republicans maintaining jers

senator murkowski did not mention john paul stevens in what she had to say tonight. but surely ever member of the senate knows exactly what justice stevens said yesterday because it's the first time a retired supreme court justice has ever publicly opposed the nomination of a new supreme court justice. here is some of what senator murkowski had to say. >> i have a very high bar for any nominee to the supreme court of the united states. the code of judicial conduct rule 1.2 -- this is one that many, many people in this body know. but it states that, quote, a judge act at all-times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. and after -- after the hearing that we all watched last week, last thursday, it became clear to me or was becoming clearer that that appearance of impropriety has become unavoidable. and i've been deliberating, agonizing about what is fair. is this too unfair a burden to place on somebody that is dealing with the worst, t
