(660 posts)and then continue to make rulings in the case. I suspect Trump wants to provoke a public response by the judge which he can then use to try to secure a different judge along with another delay.
I'm sure the judge heard Trump call him a Mexican and I know that he will try very hard to set that aside in his mind when he sticks the case up Trump's rear end, and he will smile, too. And, since members of the judiciary often feel a common desire to protect the judiciary as an institution from scurrilous attacks, any judges handling Mr. Trump's appeal will also try very hard to set aside in their minds his screwy conduct as they, too, stick the case up Trump's rear end. He probably won't even get to see them, but they'll also be smiling.

(115,601 posts)that might look like retaliation. He will carefully follow the rules, giving Trump no reason to demand his recusal. Trump will dig his own legal grave in this case - the judge will just officiate at the funeral.
I sure wouldn't want to be one of Trump's lawyers; he must be the original Client From Hell.

(660 posts)And to make matters worse, it's my understanding that he often tries to stiff his lawyers on their bills. He's real special.

(82,849 posts)The judge is a lot smarter than Trump, and has a lot more courtroom experience. And yeah, Trump's lawyers have to be shitting bricks.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,601 posts)I'd love to see the judge hold him in contempt of court. That would just make Trump even more furious and he'd do something really extreme, and then the judge might send federal marshals to pick him up. I doubt it will ever go that far but it's fun to imagine.

(6,473 posts)which Trump subsequently violated. Often, this is done in order to not prejudice the jury pool-but when Defendant is doing the talking I'd wonder about a Defendant's 1st Amendment Rights. Maybe some one has been down that road

(35,694 posts)If Trump has a real beef with the judge he should address it through his lawyer and file a brief. I actually think there is a good case for contempt as is but the judge probably will warn him first. If he had said it in open court I think the judge would have slapped him with a contempt citation.

Donald Trumps presidential candidacy presents decent people everywhere with a dilemma: Sprayed with an open fire hose of schoolyard insults, locker-room vulgarities and bizarre policy pitches by the presumptive Republican nominee, they must make hard choices. Is this latest comment so outrageous, so much worse than all the others, as to require its own response?
Speak up too often and you risk sounding like a car alarm, so urgent and yet so familiar that residents no longer hear it. But dont speak up often enough and you risk turning the unacceptable into the unremarkable.
At a rally in San Diego on Friday, Mr. Trump again steered his pirate ship into uncharted waters, firing off personal and racially tinged attacks against a federal judge hearing a case in which Mr. Trump is the defendant.
The judge, Gonzalo Curiel of the Federal District Court in San Diego, is presiding over a class-action lawsuit that accuses Trump University of defrauding and misleading customers who spent $1,500 for three-day seminars that promised to teach Mr. Trumps secrets of success in real estate. Shortly after Mr. Trumps rally, Judge Curiel ordered the unsealing of about 1,000 pages of the companys internal documents. The release, which came in response to a request by The Washington Post, was standard procedure for a civil suit.

Trump is taking shit so he can appeal "everybody knows the judge is biased against me, after all I've been saying it for months."
That's the judge/panel who can spank him but good.
