John Eastman stepped down as Dean at the Fowler School of Law to run for Attorney General and lost to Kamala Harris. Funny how neither the original article and this editor's note both fail to mention this. Furthermore, you state Eastman "has LITIGATED countless cases at the Supreme Court". This is misleading, if not outright false. He has FILED amicus curiae briefs ("friend of the court" briefs) on behalf of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence about 140 times. Filing amicus curiae briefs is NOT the same as LITIGATED. The Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence is the public interest law arm of the Claremont Institute. John Eastman is a director of the Claremont Institute, and the founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence. While I was able to find only two times that Eastman *litigated* and argued a case in front of the Supreme Court, the bio page for Eastman on the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence states that Eastman "has represented more than 20 parties before the Supreme Court of the United States." It does not state how many cases those 20 parties were involved in. Needless to say, Eastman has not "litigated countless cases at the Supreme Court"
