Why we used this label
The reference point is California's disbarment of Eastman. Kittle criticizes the discipline as political retaliation for representing Trump.
Cruz and Lee argue John Eastman's disbarment threatens lawyers' speech and clients' access to counsel. California's State Bar says the evidence showed he advanced false election claims. The petition is set for the Supreme Court's November 6 conference, and review has not been granted.
