“Has anyone ever complained about the ethnicity of white judges or white juries? I’ve done some research and it turns out … THAT’S ALL WE’VE HEARD FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS,” she writes (capitalization all hers). She then goes through some court cases that involve racial bias by all-white juries and white judges. In fact, Coulter says, she has more than 1 million examples of the media going “mental” on white judges and juries.
She concludes:
The effrontery of this double standard is so blinding, that the only way liberals can bluff their way through it is with indignation. DO I HEAR YOU RIGHT? ARE YOU SAYING A JUDGE’S ETHNICITY COULD INFLUENCE HIS DECISIONS? (Please, please, please don’t bring up everything we’ve said about white judges and juries for the past four decades.)
So there are a couple differences between the cases that she brings up and Trump’s attack on Judge Gonzalo Curiel, but we will save that for another post. What is clear from a legal perspective is if Trump filed a motion for recusal, based solely on Curiel’s ‘Mexican’ heritage, he would probably lose, and his attorneys might even be sanctioned.
