Professor Eastman Quoted on Supreme Court Politics
June 27, 2011
Professor John Eastman was interviewed by the Investor’s Business Daily about the political leanings of the U.S. Supreme Court. Professor Eastman noted what he understood to be a lack of leadership of the liberal bloc that could sway other justices. “Neither Justice Kagan nor Justice Sotomayor have commanded the allegiance of Justice Kennedy on critical votes in the way that Justice (John Paul) Stevens seemed regularly able to do,” Eastman said, referring to Kagan’s predecessor. “They may grow into that position, but it hasn’t happened yet.” Read the article, entitled, “Supreme Court Favors Free Speech, Free Markets.”
