He said the judge is being unfair to him because he's Of "Mexican heritage" and is probably against building a wall and doesn't like Trump or his politics. That's probably true. Tapper was trying to say "you're being racist because you're saying he's Mexican and can't do a good job because he's Mexican." Trump argued against that. He's not saying he's a bad judge because Mexican, but because he's being biased and not looking at the case in and of itself.

Wow - do you even realize you just made the exact same racist assumption Trump has? "The judge is of Mexican decent therefore he is bias against Trump."

By that logic, every white male judge should be recused from any case involving anyone of color and all women.

Lawyers do it all the time in jury selections. You can't say race is not a factor anymore in people's opinions. It's reasonable to believe that this judge is biased against him.

With your logic all judges should have been excused from the Boston Marathon bombing case or are you suggesting the judge who ruled the case was in favor of the bombing?

I think he has more of an argument that this judge is a member of La Raza Lawyers Group and that he oversaw a scholarship to an undocumented student.

Trump was probably never good at logic and so are you.

Ha ha.
I just giggled at your “logical” statement.

He never answers questions yet no journalist has taken him to task, until yesterday. Jake Tapper has the patience of a saint and I have so much respect for him. I can't believe CNN did something right but they actually have a real journalist on staff finally. He asks Donald 23 times if his criticism of Judge Gonzalo Curiel was racist.

23 time...but there's no agenda. OLOLOL

Actually, they are not allowed to bar a juror because of race. They get around the race issue because they are allowed a certain number of exemptions without giving a reason. But they can't just say, "I object to this juror because he or she is Mexican."

"Jake Tapper left jounalism to join CNN"


That's not a swipe at Tapper, it's a swipe at CNN. If I recall that WHCD correctly, the President went on to make fun of CNN's breathless, ridiculous coverage of the missing Malaysian plane.

But Tapper's face in reaction to the President's statement suggests he definitely didn't take it to be a compliment.

Yet the PP and Trump have a huge point, given the La Raza connection.

No, they don't. That is not how it works. Trump does not get to arbitrarily disqualify judges based on HIS statements. By his reasoning, he could make sweeping statements against every race and religion and then say there isn't an unbiased judge out there.

I think you're confusing the La Raza professional society with the activist group. Red State points out the issue:

As a first generation American, it is beyond offensive to me that a Presidential nominee would suggest my parents' country of origin would impact my allegiance to the US, including its laws. If you don't see how this is the exact same type of racism that led to the Japanese internment during WWII, out country is in a very sad state.

I'm listening right now to Stacy Dash talk about how we will never be integrated if there are these types of organizations. She's correct. Did he, or did he oversee the scholarship for an undocumented immigrant? That's a problem.

Are you suggesting that a federal judge who oversaw a scholarship committee which funded one (out of seven) student who identified himself as "undocumented" would be biased against Trump because Trump is "building wall"? In that case most judges will be biased against a lot of the cases they have. That is not how judicial system works - please educate yourself. What is more reasonable is that Trump is creating this personal feud (in preparation of a future appeal) and if the judge responds (I hope he is smart enough to not respond) it is possible that he would site this feud during the appeal.

I am suggesting that a federal judge who picks and chooses which laws he wants to uphold is not a good judge.

Trump is being Trump. He is not PC. What do you think about the OJ's jury selection and the verdict? No politician in this country will come out and say race played a role there. But we all know it's true.

Judge Ito was a Japanese American. We are talking about judges.
