Trump: "It's possible" a Muslim judge would be unfair

Donald Trump is standing by comments he made against U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the judge presiding over a Trump University lawsuit, telling CBS' "Face the Nation" that Curiel's Mexican heritage prevents him from acting fairly on the bench.

"He is a member of a club or society, very strongly pro-Mexican, which is all fine," Trump told "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson in an interview that will air Sunday. "But I say he's got bias. I want to build a wall. I'm going to build a wall. I'm doing very well with the Latinos, with the Hispanics, with the Mexicans, I'm doing very well with them in my opinion."

Later, when asked if he believed a Muslim judge would treat him unfairly because of another controversial proposal to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the U.S., Trump replied: "It's possible, yes. Yeah. That would be possible, absolutely."

Trump said that, for his own policies, he would not be "backing down" from unpopular proposals like banning Muslims and deporting the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., despite his views diverging from another prominent Republican legislator, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

1. "Latinos love me because I want to build a wall.

but this one doesn't like me because I want to build a wall. So he's biased. It's true because I told you. "

2. If he is doing very well with Hispanics, why be afraid of an American judge of Mexican heritage ?

He is spreading stupidity too

3. It's possible a male judge could be unfair.

It's possible a female judge could be unfair. It's possible a Catholic judge could be unfair. It's possible a Protestant judge could be unfair. It's possible a Jewish judge could be unfair. It's possible ANY human being could be unfair. But THAT"S a problem for the law and the courts to deal with....NOT some highly inflated, ignorant wind-bag. Ms Bigmack

6. He is using a cult of narcissism to undermine rule of law

Agree with them or not, Republicans use "rule of law" to keep things
going their way.

Trump has blown the lid off that here. "Unfair" is a subjective term to
a very great degree. Politicians are very cautious about using that term.

Once all the Trump supporters start railing about "unfair" courts, it becomes
like a birther issue. Facts or law won't matter to them.

This is undermining a civil society.

10. Good lord

Trump can 't even do the basic research any 12 year old can do before misconstruing "La Raza" the political group with the "La Raza Latino Lawyers association". And this mindless dullard wants to be President. His idiot followers are so proud they have one of their own representing them.
