Welcome to the system. Don't you think Gorsuch was heavily involved in the republican party and donor class during most of his career also? Most judges were partisan until they were made federal judges, then they are expected to become pure and judicious, magic really?

In a country with a system where people openly support a judge for his bias, you can't expect both sides to not to 'indulge'.

Silly argument.

I'm in favor of the Death Penalty for the Dishonorable Judge Orrick.
Um, ok.

Needed to recuse himself. I'm not sure what the law is, but No....This isn't ok. In fact, it should totally discredit this judge imo.

Judges should be apolitical.....He obviously was cherry picked. Wasn't that the judge Obama visited just before his ruling.....And, weren't they law school chums?

Public Citizen

Judge Who Blocked Trump's Sanctuary City Order Raised $200,000 for Obama - Breitbart

Are judges allowed to raise money for political candidates? Oh wait, Orrick raised the money for Obama and THEN Obama nominated him.

I'm in favor of the death penalty for morons who believe stupid lies.

The money was raised years before he was a federal judge.
