Dale Ho is a Biden federal district judge nominee and he went off this week on the Electoral College and the United States Senate, calling these systems "anti-democratic."

Ho says that the United States has various systems that are "anti-democratic" that enshrine minority rule. He says this as if it's a terrible thing that the US doesn't just allow simple majorities to impose their will on others.

I'm talking about things like, you know, the Senate, the Electoral College, and the maldistribution of political power that results from those institutions.

According to Ho, it is a hindrance to voting, somehow, and an obstacle to democracy that we have a Senate and Electoral College.

It's almost like the whole system of government in the US was set up to avoid pure democracy and mob rule...

Oh wait, it was.

Sure, these institutions are "anti-democracy," but anyone who has taken a basic civics course SHOULD (but probably doesn't) know that the United States isn't a democracy. It's a republic.

And it's one thing for an AOC, Ilhan Omar, or Elizabeth Warren, to say this kind of nonsense about the Electoral College or Senate being unfair. But this dude is supposed to be a judge!

How in the world can he be a judge of law if he has NO IDEA what kind of country this is. He believes this 1619 Project-style history that says everything from the founding is racist. If it's anti-democratic, according to this logic, that means it's anti-minority.

This is despite the fact that he admits opinions in the minority get to have a reasonable voice BECAUSE of these systems he decries as racist.

And Biden wants him to be a judge.

Absolutely shameful. But not the least bit surprising.
