"Eastman's adult children responded with a hilariously over-the-top screed in Glenn Beck's The Blaze comparing their father to Jesus on the cross, with the Roland cast as Judas Iscariot."
"While it may seem a little heavy-handed to compare the work of Eastman and others to the passion and death of Jesus Christ, a little reflection can make clear the connections."
"He peddled legal arguments he knew with certainty would not hold up under scrutiny, conceding to Mike Pence's legal advisor Greg Jacob that, were the scheme to reach the Supreme Court, it would fail 9-0."
John Eastman has been disbarred by the California Supreme Court for his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His children likened his situation to that of Jesus Christ, claiming he was unjustly condemned for challenging the political establishment. Despite their claims, Eastman knowingly promoted legal arguments that he understood would fail in court. He advised Mike Pence to act without seeking permission, indicating a deliberate strategy to bypass judicial scrutiny.
