Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing a fraud case against Trump University, is reportedly a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, which is affiliated with the Hispanic National Bar Association.

I hope no one is watching the discussion about this issue on BOR right now. Charles Krauthammer is evidently working for Mrs. Clinton.
Jeffrey Lord ( http://spectator.org/trump-is-right-the-shame-of-paul-ryan-and-mitch-mcconnell/ ):
Most assuredly, Judge Gonzalo Curiel has gone out of his way to not only openly tie himself to this group of racially directed lawyers — but to participate in the left-wing agenda favored so deeply by leftist race-driven Hispanics. In 2014 the Judge served as a member of the group’s 2014 Scholarship Selection Committee, which in turn awarded a $1,500 scholarship to a self-advertised “undocumented.” Think of that for a moment. The very first act of this student was to break American law, and Judge Curiel awards him a scholarship — for law school!
Recall that on his Senate Judiciary Committee form, Curiel said that he was a member of the “California Judges Association.” And back there a mere year ago in January of 2015, the California Judges Association was enthusiastically supportive of a decision from the California Supreme Court that ruled, as reported by Fox News, this:
California’s Supreme Court voted Friday to prohibit state judges from belonging to the Boy Scouts on grounds that the group discriminates against gays.
The court said its seven justices unanimously voted to heed a recommendation by its ethics advisory committee barring judges’ affiliation with the organization.
Got that? It’s OK for Judge Curiel and a small army of California judges and lawyers to belong to the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association — a group openly discriminating against non-Latinos — but it’s not OK for a California judge to belong to the Boy Scouts — the Boy Scouts! — because “the group discriminates against gays.”
It doesn’t get more racist than that.
Let’s be blunt. There’s no room for identity politics in the party of Lincoln. The fact that Paul Ryan (Paul Ryan!) and Mitch McConnell would stand up and defend outright race-driven politics is utterly disgraceful.
Now today’s GOP Establishment, led by Speaker Ryan and Senator McConnell, are saying that Donald Trump, a defendant in the rigged trial that is the witch hunt for Trump University, must be quiet about this insistent racialization of the federal bench and the law itself. Trump is being told that now that he is the soon-to-be heir to the leadership of Lincoln’s party he must sign on to the idea that it’s perfectly OK to insist that race has a decided priority in both American life and law and that he, Donald Trump, as a defendant has no right to call attention to something that left-wing racial advocates boast of freely. Recall that when it came to light that then Supreme Court Obama-nominee Sonia Sotomayor was found to be saying in speeches that a “wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male,” leftist were thrilled.
Now? Donald Trump is calling out this flat-out racism by targeting a judge for what might be called the judge’s “wise Latino” ways? Suddenly the GOP Establishment is attacking —Trump?
This is shameful. But totally in character for the GOP Leadership in Congress that long ago abandoned principle for political correctness.
Speaker Ryan and Senator McConnell should be embarrassed.
This judge has allowed his Mexican heritage to interfere with his ability to be impartial. Real simple. That’s all Trump was ever saying. The media and the RINO’s are playing dumb and pretending not to understand.
I live in Socal - every once in awhile I try to stomach the local news - invariably it consists of Latinos protesting about some perceived injustice - it’s Latino’s whining and complaining 24/7 .
Trump really knows how to lure out the RINOs to show their true colors, doesn’t he?!
Ha ha!
A corrupt legal system just like back in old Mexico.
Since we’re talking about federal court, what federal law did Trump University break, and what clause in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers is this law reasonably based on?
If Trump University possibly breached a contract with students, then please note the following.
A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3) do not extend to contracts, in this case regardless if Trump University had students outside NY.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate contracts.)
Corrections, insights welcome.
Imagine a judge who was a proud member of the National Association for the Advancement of Gringos (NAAG).
How would that be different than a judge who is a member of La Raza?
He’s an ANCHOR BABY !!!!!!!! Not by technicality but intension of birth location by mother. Dump this part of the law!!!!!
‘Not only does the GOP “leadership” not seem to want to win, they seem to actively want to lose..’
This is essentially what I said when I called the RNC. If they won’t support or vote for Trump, who then? Flake, Kirk, Graham, JEB should be asked to leave Party if they won’t support ‘R’ candidate. Trump is the candidate cause of all the years they’ve refused to fight back against liberal media and Democrats.
Well well well...what say you Jebbie, Mitch, Lindsey ??
This is a good opportunity to say: FUTC, FUPR, FUNG, and FUMR!
Here’s a poster - here’s what the judge has been doing
https://twitter.com/Gypsydragup/status/740015505839431680
-Implementation of Proposition 187 which denied public benefits to illegal aliens
-Sued INS to stop the denial of temporary residency to immigrant agricultural workers with criminal records as mandated by the 1986 immigration control act
-Sued the DMV on behalf of illegal aliens whose applications had been rejected for failure to prove, as required by law, legal residency to obtain licenses
-Sued US attorney Joseph Russoniollo for investigating allegations that unqualified aliens had been registered to vote.
-Gonzalo Curiel has served on selection committee awarding scholarships to illegal immigrants
I'm not sure but I think the word you're looking for is pendejo. (I'll gladly defer to those FReepers whose Spanish is better than mine.)
Plus, he needs to get out of all these racist front groups. There’s more to it, but at the very least a member of those give the appearance of impropriety and bias from the get-go.
How would you like to be involved in a race-base case and have a judge who’s a member of NAACP, LaRaza, CAIR, black this, Latino that, Muslim this . . .no way they can be impartial as bigots and “wise Latino”
Poor Kraut, he’ll be out of a job in November.
Trump is being "Goldwatered" by the GOP.
And it further exposes who their masters are.
We have to win this one in order to prevent a shooting revolution.
And the guy heard "are you a racist"?
And Curiel is linked to San Jose Mayor Liccardo, who stood the cops down when Trump supporters were assaulted and battered. Liccardo’s Facebook page brags up his past with Curiel. La Raza thugs, pure and simple. Domestic enemies, imo.
