My friend and UCLAW colleague Eugene Volokh has just endorsed our mutual friend John Eastman in the California Republican Attorney general primary:
I just contributed to Prof. John Eastman’s campaign for California Attorney General, and I urge others to do the same. John is extremely smart and accomplished — he has a Ph.D. in government, he clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas, he has written or cowritten over 20 law review articles, and he’s a law professor and law school dean. And he’s a solid and thoughtful conservative, who I think would make an excellent Attorney General. There are things I disagree with him on, of course, but that’s inevitable with any candidate; on balance, I’m sure he would do a first-rate job.I've also given to the Eastman campaign and likewise encourage others to do the same. (Go here.) I've known John for a number of years. He's wicked smart. A person of high integrity. Best man for the job, IMHO.
