Trump's racist comments can be used against him in court as judges cite them to block policies

[EleanorR]

President Trump’s latest racist remarks, like many of his comments before them, can and will be used against him in court.

And if his losing record on immigration cases is any guide, they will be used effectively.

In conjunction with other factors, they could help persuade judges to block policies he claims are crucial to his agenda, particularly on immigration, on the grounds of racial or ethnic animus.

That’s been the pattern ever since Trump took office.

His words — about Mexican immigrants as “criminals, drug dealers” and “rapists,” Nigerians going back “to their huts,” Haitians all having AIDS, or of too many migrants from “shithole countries” — have helped stall much of Trump’s immigration crackdown.

2. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Just as soon as I read about his racist tweet.

The idiot's about as transactional as they come and he obviously consults no one with any political savy. Hell, what am I saying? He'd never listen anyway.

Maybe a cartoon illustration? Nah.

Whatever, just keep 'em coming you dumb ass bigot.
