Again, at the time Eastman was arguing that the ECA was not binding on Pence. But Jacob also testified that in their back-and-forth, Eastman “ultimately acknowledged” that not a single justice on the Supreme Court, even the conservative ones, would uphold his position.If so, that sure sounds like someone who didn’t think much of his own legal theory.
