On 12/1/2021, Sen. Kennedy questioned nominee Dale Ho, “Did you say, quote, Republicanism is an anti-democratic virus?”
“No senator, I don’t believe I’ve used those words,” replied Ho.
“You’re under oath now,” said Kennedy.
“Yes, Senator, I don’t believe I’ve used those words,” Ho continued. “I do remember saying last year that…has spread kind of like a virus.” “I do very much regret the tone that I have taken on social media from time to time,” Ho told Kennedy. “I know that I’ve crossed the line from time to time.”
“Mr. Ho, you’re a smart man. I can tell. But I think you’re an angry man,” Kennedy said. “We don’t need federal judges who are angry. We need federal judges who are fair and can see both points of view.”
You’ve described yourself as a, quote, wild-eyed sort of leftist,” said Kennedy. “Do I have that right?”
“Senator, I think I was referring to a caricature of the way that I think other people may have described me, not how I would describe myself,” Ho said. “I want to assure you that I understand that the role of a judge is to set aside whatever personal views ―.”
“Right,” interrupted Kennedy.
