[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our life experiences, the experiences of those close to us, no matter what race, have an effect on our points of view.  This is no different for a judge, congressman, president or mom down the street, we are all human.  The assumption is that people like judges can put their perceptions aside, but it gets blurry when those life experiences are part of the reason they are in their seat of power.  I don't have the answer.  I don't think DT is completely wrong in his opinion but I don't think he's completely right.  [/quote]

Right. Trump was merely reacting to unfair rulings by this particular judge. It's reasonable to question this judge's background could produce bias against him.[/quote]

What exactly were the "unfair" rulings?  There is a quote from Trump's attorney praising this exact judge a month ago because he sided with Trump's attorneys in delaying the trial until after the election while the plaintiffs argued that justice delayed is justice denied.

The only ruling Trump can point to is that the judge did not grant him complete summary judgment dismissing the case (apparently the judge did rule in his favor and granted summary judgment on some issues).  Denying summary judgment does not mean the judge ruled against Trump - merely that there were disputes over material facts that needed to be fleshed out at trial.  Considering that Trump and the plaintiffs disagree on a number of material facts - I don't see why ruling that the trial can proceed on some issues is an "unfair" ruling.[/quote]
