Episode 7: Ilya Shapiro: The Future of the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, Court-Packing and More

<p>The Cato Institute&#39;s Ilya Shapiro joins the show to discuss his new book, <em>Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America&#39;s Highest Court</em>, and the future of the Supreme Court after Amy Coney Barrett&#39;s confirmation. He breaks down how the Supreme Court really works and explains what conservative legal theory, &quot;originalism&quot; or &quot;textualism,&quot; actually means. We sort through the alarmist claims to examine what a conservative Supreme Court will actually mean for the future of Roe v. Wade, gay marriage, Obamacare, and more. Then, we discuss Joe Biden and Kamala Harris&#39;s dangerous flirtation with &quot;court-packing,&quot; expanding the Supreme Court to add more liberal judges.</p> <p>Follow Brad on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/brad_polumbo" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/brad_polumbo</a>.<br> Follow Ilya on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ishapiro" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/ishapiro</a>.<br> Buy Ilya&#39;s book on Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Disorder-Judicial-Nominations-Politics/dp/1684510562/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Disorder-Judicial-Nominations-Politics/dp/1684510562/</a>.</p>
