    In fairness, that's not really what Trump said. He said the judge is doing a bad job because of his race, not that he can't do the job at all.

    ;)

    Probably a little from column A, a little from column 2. Sasse definitely stretching a little.

    Trump Calls Scolding by Newt Gingrich 'Inappropriate' - ABC News

    Trump insisted that his comments about the judge came in defense against relentless questions from reporters and others about lawsuits against Trump University. Trump said U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel can't be impartial in the suits because his parents were born in Mexico and Trump wants to build a wall along the border.

    It has more to do with his connections to HRC and a group that helps illegal immigrants stay in this country. He should recuse himself.

    Neither of those things are the subject of the litigation, and would not be.

    and is why I don't think the judiciary should be a member of any political party.
    Interesting. Probably worth a whole different thread, but I'm really curious how something like that would work.

    Maybe a caste system or something.

    That's one side of the issue. If you strictly limit yourself to the subject under consideration, how do you address concerns about a judge with a high probability of having a burr up his ass against one party for other reasons? Just because it isn't the issue under consideration, that still leaves open the possibility of judgment being rendered based on other considerations.

    And you take that to mean that she's implying heritage would take precedence or rule of law, injecting bias into cases where one's origin has no significant bearing.... ie Trump University?

    Absolutely not. Judges never let bias affect their decisions. They are certainly all beyond reproach.

    Would you want to go to court for any reason with a judge who is, say, a moderator on Stormfront? You really think you would get a fair shake even though it was about an unrelated issue?

    Well, first, this judge's nation of origin is 'Murrica. He is not Mexican. He is American. Or does INGO now adopt [heritage]-American as the norm?

    Perhaps I missed it, but what what has this judge done to somehow equivocate with being "moderator on Stormfront?" Let's keep a sense of balance, eh?

    This is more akin to a second generation Irish being judge in a case regarding... patents. With one of the litigants being Catholic and the other Protestant.

    Moreover, what about the appellate court that AGREED with the trial judge? They are all Latino racists, too?

    Or maybe, just MAYBE, this judge made the right decisions? Is that so hard to allow?

    Yes, the logical conclusion of realizing that some judges may allow bias to color their decision, because of their background, means that we should let religious groups have their own system of laws.

    :rolleyes:
