>> She is the expert.

She does not appear to be. From her column:

"Chemerinsky fully voices the fears of all of us who have watched the court slowly erode abortion, employee, environmental, and voting rights in the past decade. For instance: “There are, for example, four likely votes to overturn Roe v. Wade on the current court: Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel A. Alito Jr. If a Republican president selects Ginsburg’s replacement, that justice easily could be the fifth vote needed to allow the government to prohibit all abortions.”

John Roberts has, repeatedly and with some frequency, stated clearly that Roe v. Wade is "settled law" and has even used the phrase "beyond settled." Not one instance exists where he has indicated otherwise, although he has while representing clients taken the opposition position. Which is, after all, what lawyers are hired to do.

It appears her expertise is limited to making claims that bolster her personal point of view, even when unfounded. "Expert" is a pretty gross exaggeration.
