Remove Judge John Primomo of Texas
Judge John Primomo told newly naturalized citizens in San Antonio, TX, that if they didn't like Donald Trump's positions as president, they should leave the U.S. Our country is founded upon the right to free speech, to dissent, as well as the use of civil disobedience and non-violent protest. When Mitch McConnell expressed dislike of President Obama, he was not asked to leave the country. Primomo's partisan instructions to new citizens went against all our country stands for. He should be removed from the bench.
Why is this important?
New citizens have every right to free speech, the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to dissent. They should not be instructed to "love it or leave it," nor threatened implicitly if they disagree with the president. Judge John Primomo abused the naturalization ceremony by instructing newly naturalized citizens to leave if they didn't like the policies of Donald Trump, and then asserted that dissent using symbols of the United States was wrong. Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, expressed opposing views about President Obama and was not asked to leave the country. Judge John Primomo should be removed from his post for wrongfully instructing new American citizens about their rights.
