Quote:You mean like conservative whites? Why does he go on and on about the judge's Mexican heritage as if he cannot adequately perform his job functions due to him being a Mexican American?

 


Gosh, maybe because it does create a potential for bias in a case?  Especially since the judge in question was appointed by the man who has pretty much used race as his greatest political weapon.

 

I'm not defending anything Trump says or does, but based on his comments about building a wall and dealing with illegal immigration, he has every right to think there's the potential for some bias to bleed into the decision making of the judge.  Whether it's true or not is irrelevant.  The potential exists. The potential also exists that the judge's political bias could play a role in this as well.  None of us can know the motivations that drive someone to make the decisions they do, and he may feel beholding to the wishes of the man who appointed him to assure that the guy trying to replace his boss is as bloodied and bruised politically by this as possible. That's not unheard of.
