I think it's more than a class/race thing with him.

Some say he's auditioning with Trump for a promotion. The M.O. is just the same as Whitaker and Barr have done. Play to the audience of one -- Donald. Trump must have been ecstatic with Ellis' performance.

The very definition of an "activist judge".

Why isn't anyone in the media labeling him as such?

mitch likes em young and dumb. not old and grumpy.

Could be he just wants some cash coming his way. There are all kinds of ways to do that. Maybe a shiny cabinet job for his wife.....
