| Trump and the Mexican Judge |
| 2016-06-06 |
| From TFA: [WSJ] What elevates Mr. Trump’s remarks to the reprehensible is his equation of ethnicity with bias. That truly is an attack on the independence of the judiciary because it means that a judge can be disqualified from a case merely for his personal background, rather than for any material conflict of interest. The suit against Trump University is a classic civil fraud case that has nothing to do with ethnicity. Judge Curiel happens to be an American born in Indiana to immigrant parents, but that is of no legal import. He shouldn’t be judged by the ancestry of his parents any more than Chief Justice Roberts should be barred from ruling on religious liberty cases like the Little Sisters of the Poor because he is a Roman Catholic.

| #7 As a member of a terrorist affiliate, he should be held accountable. Disbarrment, charges of treason, messy public trial and eventual punishment. |

| #5 Words and PC bullshi* The Mexican left, Vicenti Fox, and everyone else can say whatever they want about gringos, wave the Mexican flag in California, beat Trump rally goers, but Trump can't express his doubts about a judge ? PC bullshi* at it's finest. |

| #4 As I understand the story, Trump didn't object to the judge until the later started breaking the rules. |

| #3 Curiel is a member of LA RAZA LAWYERS OF CALIFORNIA Toward the bottom of their "Links and Affiliates" page, they include National Council of La Raza -- which is the La Raza. The Open Borders Journal editorial doesn't mention any of this, but there's pushback in the comments. |

| #2 Most American colleges and universities are just as much classical civil fraud agents, but with cover. Can you say 'student loan program' and 'debt' as in indentured servitude? |

| #1 Just happens to be a member of La Raza and just so happens to be a Hillary supporter. What difference could that possibly make? |
