An attorney widely known for his involvement in President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election told WyoFile on Sunday why he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider Fred Eshelman’s failed corner-crossing lawsuit.
John Eastman, an attorney well-practiced in Supreme Court cases and perhaps most famous for joining Rudy Giuliani on stage at the Jan. 6, 2021, “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C., explained his reasoning in an email.
“The decision [by the 10th Circuit] effectively takes an easement on private property without compensation, in violation of the Takings Clause of the Constitution,” Eastman wrote WyoFile. “That, and because it affects so much private property, makes it an extremely important case for the Supreme Court to review.”
