“Senator, our Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of race,” Kato said in response to the question.

“Let me ask you again, is racial discrimination wrong?” Cruz asked again.

Kato responded by saying that as a judge she does not deal with “issues of morality,” at which point Cruz asked if she has any views of whether discrimination is “right or wrong.”

Kato again declined to answer because “that is an issue that is frequently litigated before the courts.”
