A judge has recommended that conservative attorney John Eastman lose his California law license over his efforts to keep former President Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election.
Eastman, a former law school dean, faced 11 disciplinary charges in the state bar court stemming from his development of a legal strategy to have then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.
State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland’s recommendation, issued Wednesday, now goes to the California Supreme Court for a final ruling on whether he should be disbarred. Eastman can appeal the top court’s decision.
The real question is why hasn’t he yet?
Seems oddly difficult. The state bar can’t do it unilaterally which is weird, they pass it to the State Supreme Court… and he can still appeal that somehow.
It’s been both eye opening and extremely disheartening watching the veil pulled back on the US legal system.
Subpoenas can be ignored by Jim Jordan with no consequence. Judges threatened with no consequences. Appeals going right to the Supreme Court by the affluent. Judge shopping. Recusals from conflicts of interest optional. Supreme Court justices taking gifts and payments without consequence. Et cetera, et cetera.
SCOTUS itself can just be ignored. See Alabama’s racist redistricting.
Our Supreme Court where graft is rampant… blatantly biased courts at every level. It’s not looking great.
He should be arrested and lose his freedom.
Are you crazy?! There can’t be repercussions for his actions! The day we start putting rich, white men in prison for the crimes they committed is the day America dies! /s
“legal strategy”
“Efforts to keep…”
Eastman, trump and others personally encouraged state election officials to forge election documents and try to send the forgeries into the national archives and to Mike pence to try to trick people into thinking dumps didn’t lose the election he lost.
Election officials in seven states forged those documents and mailed them in.
You get a bar. You get a bar! Everyone gets barred! 🎉
