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.”

President Lyndon B. Johnson on “Negroes”... Johnson WAS A DEMOCRAT - AND RUMORED TO BE A KKK MEMBER. The ‘Morning Joe Historian’ needs to read some history...
President Johnson (democrat): “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957
Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy: “A few years ago, this guy (Obama) would be getting us coffee.”
Maybe she is writing a book in Spanish.
Another dumb as a stump jurist.
So very guilty. And it appears we are smoking out the traitors pretty effectively. Romney, most prominently, along with Ryan. I hope that guy has a good lawyer.
After 2 years as a candidate and 2 yeats as a president...now you think he’s too much? No coat tails for you?
