Maybe they did or will do that. I'm not privy to any of the inner workings of this case. If you are then maybe you could share those details. I simple said it is possible he is biased and suggesting so is not racist.
Suggesting that he is biased based on nothing other than his race is racist. Presenting actual evidence of bias and identity-based motivation might not be racist, even though it might attribute bias to race, but that is a different story.
Trump has directly said that the judge must be biased, because of his ethnic heritage and the supposed "fact" (which isn't actually a fact, but anyway) that Trump is "building a wall" -- that is, the claim actually being made by Trump is that it is impossible for any person of Mexican heritage to not be biased against Trump because of Trump's specific policy stances.
So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants? Because in that scenario, it is usually the white judges that are viewed as being a problem. I don't see any difference here. Full stop.

So either he is fit to be a judge and is capable of being impartial or he isnt.
by the way Trumps attorney has said publicly that they will not seek to have the judge removed from the case. Actions speak louder than words.
