Former Dean Eastman and former Clinton Acting Solicitor General Walter Dellinger will speak at Chapman Federalist Society national electronic press conference, “The President’s Duty to Enforce”. Former Dean Eastman will discuss the Attorney General’s duty to defend statutes and initiatives with which he disagrees. This topic has recently come under intense scrutiny, following then-California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s refusal to appeal a trial court ruling on Proposition 8, and now the Obama administration’s decision to no longer defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). To participate on the conference call, please dial in to 1-888-752-3232 on Monday, March 7, at 2:00 p.m. (EST) via telephone.
