As Ed Whelan just noted over at Bench Memos, John Eastman is running for attorney general in California — “Jerry Brown’s seat.” John Eastman is dean of the Chapman University School of Law, a former Reagan Justice Department official, and one of the great Federalist Society constitutional law scholars in the country.

Former attorney general Ed Meese, Rep. Michelle Bachman, and half the conservative establishment are hosting a fundraiser for him on Monday, February 22, at the Capitol Hill Club in D.C.

When: Monday, February 22, 2010, 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Where: Capitol Hill Club, McKinley Room, 300 First Street SE, Washington, DC
Suggested Contribution levels:
$500 Supporter
$250 Individual

(Full disclosure: NOM is also a co-sponsor.)
