John Yoo quoted in The Atlantic, June 1, 2012
“My understanding is that [Escalante] sometimes serves as this kind of temp or substitute judge, a state court trial judge,” said Yoo…. “Obviously the government can say if you’re a Republican and you’re running for office, you can’t put down you’re a Democrat,” Yoo continued. “Or you can’t put down some fictional title, like you’re Quartu from some foreign planet… But I don’t see why the government has any case to restrict [Escalante] about his description of himself.”
