In a thread someone made a comment about someone else voting for Clinton (Hillary) and being proud of it. It got me thinking. I voted for Clinton over Trump but I wouldn't say I was proud of it. If she wasn't going against Trump I probably would have voted for Gary Johnson again. I'm not...

Sure, if I was in his position I might have the same concern. Luckily I'm not running a shady university. :idunno: :up:

Justify his concern that the judge would be unfair. Justify the judge not deciding the case.

As far as I've seen no one has said Trump doesn't have the right to say what he says.

Also, the La Raza stuff may help Trump but did he even know about that association at the time he made the comments? Or is that something conservatives found after the fact to do damage control? Because he didn't mention any Latino organization membership. He mentioned Mexican.

It isn't inconceivable because people could let their political positions compel them to do any number of things. The question is if the case is strong enough to justify statements like Trump made and a recusal of the judge.

I think where your argument fails is that the case in question doesn't impact Latinos. It was a Trump University case. If what you propose as a conflict of interest is truly a conflict of interest then we'd have to have judges recusing themselves left and right.
