No doubt he’s a brave man. It also seems that Trump U was a bit skeezy. The fact is though, the man belongs to an organization dedicated to the interests of the Latino community according to its mission statement on it’s website. Justice is supposed to be blind.
Do the geniuses at the LAT understand that this information has nothing to do with racism/bias/misconduct in the Trump U. trial? Journalism must be the choice of the lowest quintile.
We’re not talking cartels. We’re talking interference with all Trump’s businesses.
We’re also talking LaRaza involvement of the judge, as well as other LEO, including Garcia and the mayor of San Jose.
Sure he battled the Mexican cartel, quietly. He is STILL a member of several LA Raza Law organizations. He still abides by their beliefs.
No one remembers Mena, Arkansas any more, that is old news.
By joining a lot of Hispanic organizations, the judge probably has hopes for a higher court or for high political office.
But I think Trump wants to set an apparently bad race-based precedent without sufficient justification.
I haven’t found any evidence that the judge is out-of-line or has mishandled a case.
Trump should let his lawyers make his case.
As General Patton pointed out after WW2, ambitious people often join dubious organizations to get ahead.
"With all due respect, you are mistaken on the power of the Federal courts to hear the case against Trump University."
With all due respect Jimmy McGill, I clearly indicated that my concern was if Trump University was alleged to have broken federal laws that the states have never constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to make.
Diversity-of-citizenship jurisdiction is in the Constitution (Article III, section 2, gives federal courts jurisdiction over "Controversies... between Citizens of different States"). The plaintiffs are citizens of California; Trump is a citizen of New York.
I forgot about that.
I was thinking of Boston's Whitey Bulger informing on his competition, while being protected by corrupt FBI agents (fmr agent John "Cannoli" Connolly is or was doing time in FL on a murder charge. Graduate of Camelot High, like Bill O'Reilly, who never gets tired of reminding people).
I should have done some scratching before I posted.
I cannot eliminate the possibility that Trump is taking arrows because he’s a very popular presidential candidate.
Mea culpa Jimmy McGill.
After getting other replies similar to yours, although I knew about the federal government’s multiple state jurisdiction, I had evidently gone into tunnel vision mode with concern for unconstitutional federal laws.
If I had taken an extra minute to do some more scratching ...
Yeah, and Benedict Arnold “battled” the British at Saratoga. So what?
