OC Register Features Professor Eastman and Professor Darmer
August 5, 2010
In an article entitled “Prop. 8 ruling bodes well for gays in Supreme Court test,” the Orange County Register featured Former Dean John Eastman as well as Professor Katherine Darmer. The piece discussed the implications of U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker’s opinion noting a lack of factual evidence in defense of Proposition 8. “Walker is trying to lay a factual record that is completely devoid of any factual defense of 8,” said John Eastman. “He does that by rejecting testimony in favor of 8 and that allows him to say there is no evidence in favor.” Professor Darmer agrees that the Judge Walker’s finding a lack of evidence in support of Prop. 8 will likely sway Justice Kennedy in upholding the recent ruling.
