Engoron. “He has First Amendment rights. He’s allowed to be a Republican.”“He’s a protected class,” Habba then stated.The judge followed up, asking what protected class he was part of.“His political speech,” Habba said. “If he was not sitting as a Republican and was not a former president who might run again, this would not be happening.
So she is discriminating against him for that.”Engoron wasn’t having it.“The traditional protected classes are race, religion, etc.,” he said. “Donald Trump doesn’t fit that model.
He’s not being discriminated against based on race, is he? Or religion, is he? He’s not a protected class.”“If Ms. James has a thing against him, OK, that’s not in my understanding unlawful discrimination.
