how significant is this moment in your mind? >> very significant, anderson, and good evening. it is a seismic, historic moment. i am thrilled with president biden announced two years ago in the course of the campaign that he intended to select a black woman. here's the good news as you just heard from paula. there are several very qualified candidates who have the intellectual rigor, temperament and experience to be a real asset to the court and who will contribute to reflects the diversity of our rich country and so i think this is a great moment. it is historic. not just because the person will be a black woman and make history, but because there's so many really well eququalified choices available to president biden from whom to choose. >> you've seen up close the difficulty these nominations can have. do you think potentially the historic nature of this nomination would impact
