ACLU National Legal Director
Steven Shapiro
on set with Sandra King
It's U.S. Supreme
Court "prime time." The Court's hearing its final cases ... the Obama Health
Care Plan and the Arizona Immigration Law hang in the balance ... and the major
decisions are yet to come down.
It's also time for
the annual Due Process analysis of the High Court's year in law
and justice - with the ACLU's National Legal Director, Steve Shapiro.
The eloquent Shapiro
has a front row seat to the Supremes, and the unique ability to turn the Court's
complex goings on into the clear and comprehensible - presenting both sides of
the legal arguments, despite his own stance on the issue. The 90 lawyers on his
staff are among the advocates in a wide range of the cases - from strip search
in New Jersey to immigration law in Arizona. In fact, this year, the ACLU is a
participant in 24% of the 79 cases that The Court agreed to hear. And Steve
Shapiro knows them all.
Steve will be
sharing his insider insights with Due Process co-host Sandra
King.
