If a few had been deluded into believing that America had moved past its lawfare era, that belief should have been shattered with last week’s news that California’s Supreme Court, the highest tribunal in the state, upheld John Eastman’s disbarment.
The Eastman story is a travesty of justice, made worse by the fact that his egregious situation is not a one-off, but follows a series of Trump-supporting attorneys, including Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Clark, and Ed Martin, who have been punished by bar associations nationwide simply for representing their client, Donald J. Trump.
The silver lining with the Eastman situation is that it is a reminder to all conservatives, particularly right-leaning attorneys and those who pay close attention to the justice system, about the long road still ahead for justice in America.
Far from moving beyond that dark chapter in American history, one that reached its apex under the Biden regime, America still is in the throes of this battle, whose outcome is yet determined, underscoring the dramatic stakes this nation faces.
Eastman, like Giuliani and Clark, was subject to disbarment – ruining his impeccable reputation and livelihood along the way – because he chose to represent Donald Trump and did so zealously and with complete respect for his client’s interests and for the rule of law.
The legal system in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election made a collective decision that certain legal topics were off the table for debate.
Chief among those topics was any discussion surrounding the 2020 race, which extended all the way from investigators looking to evaluate the evidence of widespread fraud to attorneys who advocated for legal theories in support of a view held by at least half the country that the 2020 election was, in fundamental respects, illegitimate.
But because now the window for allowable debate has been so constricted by the powers that be in the legal profession to issues that only they deem appropriate, the effect has been cataclysmic on the precept of fair and equitable justice, or the cornerstone of American liberty.
A legal system that has become a rank adversary of due process and attorney representation is one that is on the precipice of forfeiting its purpose outright.
The Left has taken a blowtorch to the bill of rights, exemplified in the cases of Eastman, Clark, and Giuliani, all of whom, as attorneys, represented their client on the basis of what the Constitution delineates, and the canons of legal professional ethics demands.
