If you or I were involved in
a law suit and we declared that the judge in our case couldn’t rule fairly
because of his ethnic background, wouldn’t we be subject to a ruling of
contempt of court? To refer to an American-born judge as a Mexican because his
parents were from Mexico
is just another outrageous statement from Donald Trump. To charge that the
judge’s ethnic background would prevent him from ruling fairly in a case
against Trump is particularly egregious. Trump is charging that Curiel’s ethnic
background prevents him from performing his sworn duty.
The fact that Trump made
these charges outside of the courtroom doesn’t make any difference. They show
disrespect for the court. It is still contempt of court, and Trump should be
made to pay for his outlandish charges, just as you or I would have to.
