Simple fact: How about we call Trump "That German!" As he called out that "Mexican" or "Chinese" That Kenya President Obama (born in Kenya?) --

Born in Kenya - Some opponents (Trump leads the effort, with $5 million reward) of Obama's presidential eligibility claim that he was born in Kenya and was therefore not born a United States ...

Haa? Not you, as you're American - but not in his eye, even you're born in America like federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel - Trump called federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel a "hater," questioned his ability to fairly oversee a lawsuit targeting Trump University and suggested, cryptically, "they ought to look into Judge Curiel."

The Indiana-born judge is "a Mexican," Trump has said repeatedly, painting Curiel as a vengeful, intemperate bench presence.

You, not a chance - You're kidding! No, I'm not. Read if you'll -

Is it he only called American? For God sake, -- get the facts straight, ask yourself? Who's doing un-American?

America is all about inclusiveness, freedom to speak - strength we all admire and came for - What's the heckuva of Trump - anti-America !

中国作家刘亚洲说，“美国是由千千万万不爱自己的祖国的人组成的国家、但他们都很爱美国。”他说得很准确。　　　　

美国人非常爱国，是全世界最爱国的一群人，但他们却不是民族主义份子。这绝不仅是因为美国由各种民族组成，而是因为美国人“爱国”的内容是爱“自由”。美国是最自由的国家，所以他们才爱。在自由这个概念里面，没有血源、没有种族、没有宗教、没有群体。所以说，美国人爱国的核心是爱“自由的价值”。　　　　

美国没有民族主义，也可以有“国家主义”呵，但美国也没有。你看美国人从来不会为赢了或输了一场和“外国”的体育比赛而全国欢腾，或全国暴怒。但是，当美国运动员胜利、美国国旗高高升起的时候，美国人也会很高兴、很激动，因为他们热爱那面护卫着他们的“自由”的旗帜；而不仅仅是一面代表土地、血缘、民族和国家的旗帜，因为：　　　　对土地的爱是有尽头的，如果那块土地使你遍体鳞伤；　　　　对血缘的爱是有尽头的，如果血缘带来的苦难多于幸福；　　　　对民族的爱是有尽头的，如果你的所谓伟大的民族把你变成渺小的个人；　　　　对国家的爱是有尽头的，如果你的号称强大的国家要你牺牲做它的奴仆。　　　　

我想无数遍强调的是：人们对美国的爱，既不是对土地的爱（哪里都有美丽的山河），也不是对血缘的爱（哪个人种都有俊男美女）；既不是对民族的爱（哪个民族都有自己骄傲的特色），更不是对国家的爱（独裁者的天下总有最大的爱国理由）。热爱美国，是对自由的爱。而一个人，只有对自由的爱才会永不疲倦、永无尽头！所以，捍卫美国，是捍卫“我自己”的自由——在一个人所有的动力中，没有比捍卫自己的自由更大的动力。所以，尽管艰难，自由在一路地胜利。(Who wrote this? - check it out yourself) -- Haah: (2016-06-06 11:03:57) 王朔:一群不爱自己祖国的人为什么会爱美国？美国人爱国的核心是爱“自由的价值”)

Cuban also called Trump’s racialized criticism of the judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University “pretty sad.”

“I mean, it’s trying to intimidate a judge for any reason is ridiculous, particularly the position he’s in right now,” Cuban said. “It’s more a reflection on Donald. And the reality is, the lawsuits with Trump University go back long before Donald decided to run for president. You know, it’s a Hail Mary on Donald’s part because he knows he’s wrong. It’s a sad reflection on him.”

Donald Trump says judge in university court case biased by 'Mexican heritage'

Judge Gonzalo Curiel accused of ‘conflict of interest’ in fraud case, while report suggests Trump donated to officials who dropped action against the university.

CNN)Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel a "hater," questioned his ability to fairly oversee a lawsuit targeting Trump University and suggested, cryptically, "they ought to look into Judge Curiel."

The Indiana-born judge is "a Mexican," Trump has said repeatedly, painting Curiel as a vengeful, intemperate bench presence.

But a simple review of Curiel's public record quickly undermines -- if not outright debunks -- Trump's repeated allegations. And lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, legal experts and civil rights advocates have all denounced Trump's rhetoric.

Curiel himself has remained quiet, his office citing the judicial code of conduct. His brother, Raul Curiel, told CNN: "I know my brother is not taking it seriously. Some other people might ... I think Trump feels that this division is working in his favor but he's actually creating the bigger division as we speak."

Here are five things to know about the federal judge now at the center of GOP standard-bearer's latest round of headline-grabbing attacks.

1. Mexican drug cartel target

Before he was first appointed to a state-level judgeship in 2006, Curiel worked as a federal prosecutor in Southern California with a focus on drug cases -- and with them, the Mexican cartels.

In the late 1990s, Curiel's efforts to extradite a pair of alleged cartel gunmen to Mexico put him directly in the traffickers' crosshairs. The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that, according court documents, "a top lieutenant in the Arellano Felix drug trafficking cartel" told another inmate he planned to have "Curiel assassinated and that he had requested and received permission from the leaders of the Arellano cartel."

Curiel was quickly provided a security detail, including bodyguards who traveled with him until the threat passed. He would go on to serve, between 1999 and 2002, as the lead attorney for the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

"During this period, he led an investigative unit of more than 20 federal agents and four assistant U.S attorneys that successfully extradited and prosecuted leaders, assassins and members of the infamous Arellano-Felix drug cartel," Sen. Barbara Boxer's office said in a statement following his 2011 nomination to the federal court.

In 2012, Sen. Richard Blumenthal introduced Curiel at his confirmation hearing, touting the judge's "extraordinary experience" and decades in the courtroom.

"One of the most significant cases involved the successful prosecution of the Arellano Felix drug cartel, a multi billion-dollar drug trafficking ring responsible for more than 100 murders in the United States and Mexico," he said.

2. Schwarzenegger's pick

"The judge was appointed by Barack Obama," Trump told supporters during a lengthy San Diego speech on May 27, the day Curiel ordered the release of documents related to the Trump University lawsuit.

But Curiel's journey from prosecutor to the bench began long before President Barack Obama's nomination arrived in November 2011. Then-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, appointed Curiel in 2006 to the state superior court, where he spent six years before ascending to the federal court.

3. Sons of immigrants: Curiel and Trump

"My parents came here from Mexico with a dream of providing their children opportunities," Curiel said in his introduction to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2012. "And they've been able to do that with the opportunities that this country has to offer."

The future federal judge was born in East Chicago, Indiana, in 1953. His parents, both immigrants from Jalisco, Mexico, were naturalized citizens.

Curiel's brother, Raul, told The New York Times his father first entered the country as a laborer in Arizona in the 1920s. That would mean Curiel's father was actually in the U.S. before Trump's own mother (she arrived in the 1930s), who -- like Curiel's -- became a citizen herself after marrying his father.

"My concern is that (Trump's attacks are) hurting other people. It's hurting our image as sons of immigrants. It hurts our people in general," Raul Curiel said in interview with CNN on Monday. "Being a Hispanic, it hurts these kinds of things. It doesn't hurt me personally. And I don't think it hurts my brother personally. We're above those kinds of things."

4. Indiana, born and raised

Curiel grew up, attended college, and began his professional life in the state of Indiana.

A 1976 graduate of Indiana University, he stayed in Bloomington for law school, entering private practice in Dyer, a city just outside his hometown, three years later. Curiel would spend seven years there, before eventually moving to Monterey, California, to continue his private work in 1986.

He joined the federal prosecutor's office for the Southern District of California in 1989, eventually being promoted to assistant U.S. attorney in 2002.

5. 'I'm not there to make the law'

Trump has sought to undermine Curiel's propriety by suggesting he could not separate personal politics from the law of the land. But an exchange from the judge's 2012 confirmation hearing with Sen. Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, suggests Curiel takes a more measured view of his current role.

How did Curiel, Blumenthal asked, "see the role of a district judge versus the appellate court?"

"As a trial judge I recognize that I'm not there to make the law," Curiel said. "I'm not there to interpret the law, I'm there to follow the law as established by the precedent of our Supreme Court."

Donald Trump has stepped up his attack on the federal judge presiding over the Trump University fraud case, telling the Wall Street Journal that Gonzalo Curiel’s assignment to the case represents “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump said, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border with the stated goal of preventing undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s statements follow a speech in San Diego last week in which he lambasted Curiel as “a hater of Donald Trump” and “a total disgrace”.

Trump attacks judge overseeing Trump University case

“They ought to look into Judge Curiel,” Trump declared at the time, “because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace.” Trump also asserted that the Indiana-born Curiel “happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great”.

Curiel was born in Indiana, to parents who came from Mexico.

Soon after Trump’s comments to the Wall Street Journal were published, the candidate himself was implicated in questions of official impartiality on the Trump University case. A report from the Associated Press published on Thursday evening revealed that the presumptive Republican nominee donated tens of thousands of dollars to attorney generals who declined to pursue fraud charges against the now defunct organization.

Trump donated $35,000 to the gubernatorial campaign of Greg Abbott, then Texas attorney general – a campaign that was ultimately successful – after Abbott’s office dropped a 2010 investigation into Trump University’s “possibly deceptive business practices”.

Florida’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, who endorsed Trump the day before the crucial primary in that state, reportedly declined to join New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman’s multi-state fraud suit against the organization after the Donald J Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political action committee supporting her re-election campaign.

Trump is facing three class action lawsuits against Trump University over allegations of fraud. Trump denies all the charges and has vowed to fight them in court.

The notion that judges cannot rule on cases involving religious, racial or other minorities of which they are members is universally discredited in the American legal system.

The question was notably addressed in 1994, when Judge Michael Mukasey denied a motion from Omar Abdel Rahman and El Sayyid Nosair, suspects in a terrorist plot, to recuse himself because of his Jewish faith.

Mukasey declared that such a recusal would “disqualify not only an obscure district judge such as the author of this opinion, but also [supreme court justices] Brandeis and Frankfurter … each having been both a Jew and a Zionist”.
