Columnist Teri Sforza examines the arguments made by the former Chapman law dean in his battle with the California Bar.
Santa Fe residents protest this month against their neighbor John Eastman who was President Donald Trump’s attorney.
Trump seized on these ideas and did not let go. Pence’s rattled attorney told Eastman that “the advice provided has, whether intended to or not, functioned as a serpent in the ear of the President of the United States, the most powerful office in the entire world.” Vice President Mike Pence hands the electoral certificate from the state of Arizona to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., as he presides over a joint session of Congress as it convenes to count the Electoral College votes cast in November’s election, at the Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021.
The Bar says that he repeated outlandish claims of fraud and illegality in court filings even after being told repeatedly that there was no fraud on a scale that could change the results – even by then-Attorney General Bill Barr. State legislatures hold absolute power to decide how elections can be conducted. In the Trump/Eastman calculus, throwing out millions of votes from states that eased signature requirements or allowed defective ballots to be corrected, without express permission from the Legislature, is warranted, even if it disenfranchises millions of people.
