You know how some Trump supporters have argued that the candidate's only problem is with Mexicans who are illegal immigrants...
In other words, the mere fact a judge has Mexican heritage is an inherent conflict of interest which should apparently bar any judge from being able to handle a court case involving Trump. Keep in mind we're talking about a judge who has been a U.S. citizen since he was born in the US in 1953.
By the standard Trump is apparently using and wanting to implement by the way, it would seem all someone needs to do to get a judge they don't like removed from a case the individual is involved with is publicly come out with a highly obnoxiously comments and proposals which happen to be directly at the judge's ethnic group (or a country his/her ancestors came from).
You might wonder though at the rate Trump has been going with some of his recent offensive comments what judges would end up being allowed to hear court cases Trump is involved with under his apparent proposed standard...
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/donald-trump-judge-gonzalo-curiel-223849Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the federal judge presiding over a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump University on Thursday, questioning his impartiality in handling the case because his Mexican heritage is "an inherent conflict of interest."
Less than six hours after securing the endorsement of House Speaker Paul Ryan, the presumptive Republican nominee said that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had an absolute conflict due to his ethnic background, adding, Im building a wall. Its an inherent conflict of interest, according to a interview in The Wall Street Journal.
Curiel was born in East Chicago, Indiana, to Mexican parents. He spent years prosecuting drug traffickers coming across the U.S.-Mexico border as a top official in the Justice Department's South District of California, and was later appointed to the federal bench by President Barack Obama.
