Unelected tyrannical judge accuses Trump
U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell—who issued an order blocking a move by President Donald J. Trump to freeze federal grant spending earlier this month— has been exposed as a far-left, anti-Trump radical in a recently resurfaced 2021 video. In the video, posted to YouTube, Judge McConnell can be seen going on an anti-white and anti-Trump tirade while being interviewed by Dr. Thomas López, the Head of School at the Gordon School—a politically progressive day school in Rhode Island.
Judge McConnell defends judicial lawfare aimed at hampering the efforts of the first Trump White House, comparing the America First leader’s policies to the Jim Crow laws. “So, why should you care? You should care because we’re the only things that stand in between an oppressive, arbitrary government and actions by individuals, or by the majority,” McConnell contends in the interview. He continues: “Oftentimes, I mean when we saw the Jim Crow laws and whatnot, where courts stand and enforce the rule of law against arbitrary and capricious actions by what could be a tyrant, or what we’ve seen plenty of examples of that recently. And it enforces our values.”

In another exchange with Dr. López, Judge McConnell appears to admit he engages in race-based sentencing policies that are purposefully biased against middle-class whites. “When you’re sentencing someone, you have to take a moment and realize that this middle-class, white, male, privileged person needs to understand the human being that comes before us,” McConnell says, continuing: “That may be a woman, may be black, may be transgender, may be poor, may be rich, may be whatever—may have experiences that are not yours.”

Going further, Judge McConnell argues racial diversity should take precedence in judicial appointments. “President Obama had a great track record of ensuring racial diversity amongst the bench. President Trump, not so much,” he states. ” I don’t think he appointed a single person of color as a Court of Appeals judge and very few people to the district court.”
“So, I’m hoping that President Biden will prioritize racial diversity on the bench as well because if you don’t have a diversity of thought, then the courts aren’t going to work right,” Judge McConnell added, despite the fact that ethnic diversity is by no means synonymous with diversity of thought.
...
I think Judge McConnell's comparison of Trump's policies to Jim Crow is absurd. Trump is not a racist, but the DEI policies that McConnell supports are racist. People should be selected for jobs based on merit and not what they look like are who their parents were. The fact that someone has never been a crook does not mean they are not capable of judging people who break the law.
