Never “dumb” to shine the spotlight on activist judges

Instead of cheering Donald Trump on to the 2016 presidency, ‘Conservatives’ Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan are building a wall against his presidential progress. Politically-correct staunch wall builders of a different strain themselves, Gingrich and Ryan are throwing sanctimonious critiques at wall builder Donald Trump. The Revival Bros of a most dubious past have stepped into the limelight to tell Trump to buzz off of United States District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel for daring to suggest that the judge might be biased.

“Every mature, intelligent person in this country knows that the judge in the Trump University case, United States District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, could very well be biased against Donald Trump, the one man who has the testicular fortitude to declare that he will build a wall on the Mexican border. Judge Curiel is of Mexican heritage,” writes Sylvia Thompson. Conservative to the core, African-American by heritage, Ms. Thompson is spot on in taking a stand against Republicans Gingrich and Ryan.

“The “righteous indignation” Republicans Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich are displaying over the fact that Trump asserted Curiel is biased (because of his heritage), does not impress those of us who tend to agree with Trump.”

Gingrich and Ryan, both ‘yesterday’ men, and self-serving politicians of the day, are cashing in on surefire publicity by virtue of riding through election 2016 on Donald Trump’ expansive coat-tails.

Without Trump, Gingrich is one of the ever droning talking head on Fox News. Without Trump, Ryan’s only the tepid Speaker of the House who made zero difference when chosen to replace Boo-Hoo Boehner. It wouldn’t take a Colombo to follow through on the suspicion that Judge Curiel’s an activist.

“Lou Dobbs of Fox Business News, in a recent interview with Gingrich, read from a list of ethnic organizations in which Judge Curiel holds membership. All are activist Spanish-heritage groups. Dobbs also pointed out a possible conflict of interest in the case. One of the attorneys in the law firm appointed by Curiel to represent the plaintiffs has contributed money to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 run for President. (American Spectator)   “When Lou Dobbs made the case that Trump could have reason for concern, given the judge’s associations and conflicts of interest, Gingrich brushed him off responding that Trump’s spotlighting of Curiel’s heritage “in a negative way” was “dumb.”   “First, pointing out a judge’s heritage when that heritage probably leads to bias, especially against Trump because of Trump’s commitment to build a wall on the Mexican border, would seem neither negative nor dumb. Second, Trump’s concern that this judge is an activist, as are so many ethnic legal professionals, is not racist. It’s not at all unreasonable to think that Curiel wants to officiate this particular lawsuit, as a strike at Donald Trump, the wall-builder.”

‘Donald Trump, the wall-builder’ is the hot button issue of the presidential campaign. Citizens who turn out for Trump’s increasingly popular rallies are being pelted with rocks and eggs, sucker punched, chased down and beaten until bloodied when collared.

Lost in the progressive-enabled donnybrook is that Trump’s wall was suggested as a temporary one until America’s dangerously loose immigration set-up could be sorted out. We expect paid protesters to go after the first amendment rights of law-abiding citizens but not public Republican figures swilling at the Trump publicity trough. "..When the day finally came, I changed out of my suit, threw on a camouflage hat and shirt, and slipped out the back," Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., began in his book, ‘The Way Forward: Renewing the American Idea’. (ABC NEWS) That was back in 2012 when Ryan gave the slip to the media mob waiting in his backyard to see whether Mitt Romney had picked his running mate. It was the last commonsense thing Ryan ever did, never to happen again. As for opportunist Gingrich: He should drop a few pounds, sprout wings and fly off of Trump’s coat-tails in pursuit of publicity of his own.
