Notoriously leftist bar associations are using their licensing monopoly to deprive conservatives of high-quality counsel. Texas’ state bar is going after the state attorney general. The New York bar notoriously stripped Trump counsel Rudy Giuliani of his law license. The Arizona state bar is attempting to disbar a local prosecutor for charging Antifa rioters while hundreds of prosecutors filed no charges or only misdemeanors against the domestic terrorist organization.

Oh, the irony of complaining about using the system to impose a viewpoint. Now let's talk about the Supreme Court.

Eastman summarized. “We have been blocked by our governors not calling us into special session to deal with this in any formal way. Please give us a week or 10 days now that we’re back in formal session to conclude our investigations and to make our best judgment about what ought to be done about this illegality.” With the majority of other constitutional scholars on this issue, Eastman believes “Pence had the authority. He didn’t want to exercise it.”

Majority of which scholars? Those hand-picked by the Federalist Society?

“We don’t live by fact anymore, we live by false narratives repeated over and over again until they look true because they’ve been repeated so often,” Eastman said of far-reaching false claims about his legal advice in 2020 election cases, which have resulted in not only his departure from his law school deanship but also losing multiple posts, including with the University of Colorado and The Federalist Society.

Wow. I wonder who made that a popular part of his speeches...

Read the rest of the article and try to remember that it's not satire.

I was just happy to see how many law schools have already shut down his attempts at employment. Maybe he can still find something in Florida where the government doesn't care about the law or people's rights.
