Former Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Elsa Alcala, a longtime Republican, typically avoids politics on social media but broke that practice on Monday to denounce President Donald Trump, “for my own conscience,” she wrote on Facebook.
Trump “is the worst president in the history of this country,” said her Facebook post. The president has an ideology of racism, the judge wrote, adding she couldn’t say anything positive that would absolve Trump of his “rotten core.” “I have been thinking about this for years and I hoped things would get better but they never did,” Alcala told Texas Lawyer. “I did not want an ‘R’ next to my name anymore.”
In Texas, judicial races are partisan, meaning that judges campaign as Republicans or Democrats. Repeated efforts over many years to reform the judicial election system and do away with partisanship have failed.
Alcala’s Facebook post comes in the wake of Trump’s tweets this week that said a group of Democratic lawmakers—all women of color—hould go back where they came from. Trump alleged they hated America. Tuesday evening, the U.S. House plans to vote on a resolution to condemn the president’s tweets as “racist language.”
In her post, Alcala urged readers not to “tell me to go back where I came from,” because she was born in the United States, and her family has resided in Texas since before it became part of the Union.
“I spent 29 years in government service to help the people of our country and I love our country and its people,” Alcala wrote. “I have given more to this country than the vast majority of people. What I know for sure is that we, as a country, are better than this.”

I hope she doesn’t let the door hit her is the a$$ on the way out. It would have to be a triple wide door.
As soon as I saw the headline I knew this judge was a slob who looked like Ana Navarro.
Her reading comprehension sucks.
W and Rick Perry appointed her up the Judge ladder over the years in Tejas..
then came Trump.

She’s guilty of avoiding the salad bar.
The Duh Squad
Oh my God... Democrats are leaving the Republican Party...Another win for Trump!!!
Never a Republican in the first place what a wuss
Another Hispanic fake Republican, good riddance.
She can hang out with that fat little pig, Ana Navarro, another totally fake “Republican.”
The judge is an absolute nitwit .
Just looked her up. She decided not to run again because her stand on the death penalty had changed, and she became a critic of it. She knew if she ran again, her a$$ would be tossed out because of it.
ESAD, Elsa!
Not guilty but Round.
Looks like her neck left her years ago.
Adios, Mofo.
Another wise latina...
Trump is the best president in my 86 years of life.
La Raza is strong in this one!
Face south and keep on walking, your honor.
