Because of that, Mr. Trump apparently believes the judge may be biased against him, as it is well-known the candidate has taken a strong stand against illegal immigration, include building a border wall.

Summing up, the Trump U. case is certainly political to some extent, and it's a very high profile situation. Because of that, Talking Points believes the judge should recuse himself. Not because he did anything wrong, he didn't, but to eliminate any doubt as to the motivation in court rulings.



----------------

You see? Mr Trump brought up baseless charges that judge curiel is biased against him. That's why the case is suddenly political.

And to remove any doubts that this is a political trial, the judge who has done nothing wrong so far should recuse himself proactively.

1. I'm certain the Judge will give this all the consideration every utterance of Mr O'Reilly deserves…

[pinboy3niner]

3. When he hears this I'm sure Judge Curiel will falafel about it

2. O'Really says?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Who give a flying fuck what Bill "The Mouth" O'Really says, anyway?

He's soooo passé and deserves the same amount of attention that Bristol Palin does: Zero.

[Mike Nelson]

4. Bill is a loon...

...Trump should recuse himself for showing bias.

[Thinkingabout]

5. No, Trump will have the same comments about the next judge.

In other words Trump says he knows Trump U was a sham, a way for him to make money off others.

[Skittles]

6. ridiculous

[Gothmog]

7. Why would anyone on DU care about O'Reilly's opinion on anything?

[marble falls]

8. Not only can we "shop" juries, we can shop judges, too? We can get all the justice we can afford.

[Cosmocat]

11. No, WE can't "shop"

for judges and juries.

Republicans can.

Everyone else has to eat shit.

Darn good gig being a "conservative."

[underpants]

9. Summary. All people of (insert) think alike. Famous guy should get to pick his judge.

[oberliner]

10. There is a drumbeat of support for Trump on this from the RW news media and allies

Breitbart, WND, Sean Hannity and Pat Buchanan have all come out in support of Trump's position on this.

[tavernier]

12. I agree, get rid of that judge.

Let ME be the judge. PLEASE!

On edit:

Any judge who would be next in line to do the job will not have a sense of humor toward Trump. Judges don't play that way. Trump was handled more than fairly, but from now on it won't be so.
