The governor has not shied from calling out federal judges whose rulings he disagrees with, in California and elsewhere. But his attacks have earned only muted condemnation from legal groups.
When then-presidential candidate Donald Trump came to San Diego in May 2016 for a campaign speech, he went on a 12-minute tangent about the lawsuit against Trump University, pending then in the downtown federal courthouse., the judge presiding over the case who was working just a handful of blocks from where Trump spoke.
A few years later, the outcry has been much more muted against another politician who also has taken some pointed, personal verbal shots at the bench — including one of Curiel’s colleagues. “Judge Cory Wilson, Judge James Ho, and Judge Edith Jones,” he said. “These three zealots are hellbent on a deranged vision of guns for all, leaving government powerless to protect its people.” He alsoU.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego for past rulings striking down several state firearms laws — including one likening the AR-15 to a Swiss army knife — and called him an “activist judge” who would soon rule for a second time on state bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It wasn’t the first time Newsom has tagged Benitez. In 2021 he called Benitez “a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun lobby and National Rifle Association.” Legal groups, including ABOTA and the San Diego bar, criticized him at that time.
