Martin Shapiro is Professor Emeritus of law at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the world’s leading experts on the supreme court and administrative law. A long-time professional acquaintance of the late supreme court Justice Antonin Scalia, Martin provided us with key insights on the limitations of “originalism” as a means of understanding the constitution. He also appraises the strengths and drawbacks of Roe v. Wade, and talks about how a conservative SCOTUS majority strengthened by the addition of Amy Coney Barrett might rule on Roe.
