It's not a problem of law but of selecting the lay judges. They represent the society and it's not easy to sort out racists. What can a presiding judge do, when he sees that he is surrounded by people who will certainly bend the law to their private (or public) opinions?

Quite obviously pure sarcasm and a sign of deep contempt, but anyway, such words should never be said by the leader of any nation.
