Applause, For Judge Paul L. Friedman...


Just read all of this.

It likely means Trump's time for honoring himself. . . is coming to an end. CNN has it down right:

". . . .The reality is that when the Trump administration has lost cases in the courts, it is not because of Clinton or Obama judges, but because of judges who are trying to follow the law and the Constitution," he said.

To make his case, the judge detailed Trump's wide-ranging attacks on Judges Richard Seeborg, William Orrick, James Robart, Jon Tigar and Gonzalo Curiel. During the 2016 campaign, Trump had accused Curiel, who was born in the US, of having an "inherent conflict of interest" in a lawsuit against a Trump University lawsuit because of his Mexican heritage.

Friedman said Wednesday the "personal ad hominem attacks" on Curiel "set a terrible precedent and encouraged others to join the chorus."

"This was beyond a dog whistle," he said. "This was a shout." William Taylor, a well-known Washington defense lawyer, said Friedman got a "standing ovation which went on for some minutes" after he criticized the President for attempting to bully the federal judiciary. . . .


We -- all of us -- are better. . . than this small minded, small p president. We, the people. . . are.
