Anyone think that Trump may be trying to OUT several judges that are Harvard grads... or on Harvard payroll... as being biased and willing to make rulings despite clear conflict of interest?
Clear conflicts of interests have been "OK" for Harvard judges. Probably the biggest example of a Harvard grad not getting in trouble when he failed to recuse himself from a case with clear conflicts of interest is Justice Thomas. Thomas refused to recuse from every Monsanto case he was presented, despite being a Monsanto employee. You can't really get more clear cut conflict of interest than a public money trail between judge and one party the judge is presiding over.
