I’m gonna bet that Judge Curiel is all of a sudden not a “disgrace” anymore after he ruled in favor of the Trump administration.
He slapped down environmentalists in California who argued the executive didn’t have the power to build a border wall.
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled against an environmental challenge to President Trump’s border wall, delivering a win to the Trump administration in a decision that allows construction plans to move forward.
In a 101-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel wrote that both Congress and the executive branch “share responsibilities in protecting the country from terrorists and contraband illegally entering at the borders.”
The case involved the Trump administration’s ability to ignore environmental laws in the construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The project had been challenged by several environmental groups and the state of California.
The ruling will now allow the administration to issue waivers on environmental laws and build sections of the border wall.
There you go.
This was the same judge that Trump slammed for having a “Mexican heritage,” despite being born and raised in Indiana, when he ruled against him in a proceeding in a lawsuit over Trump University. He went so far as to say that his “ethnicity” made him unfit to hear Trump’s case!!
I should have easily won the Trump University case on summary judgement but have a judge, Gonzalo Curiel, who is totally biased against me.
