Former Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at a Brookings Institute forum on court reform on Monday.
Holder urged Democrats to pack the Supreme Court during his presentation. Holder, a far left Obama appointee, told the audience the federal courts are packed with ideologues “who consistently reach rulings based on their stunted mindsets.”
By this, he means conservative judges who follow the US Constitution. Breitbart.com reported:
Former Attorney General Eric Holder urged Democrats on Monday to pack the Supreme Court in response to what he called a crisis of “legitimacy” brought about by the appointment of a conservative majority.
Packing the Court would involve passing legislation to add seats to the nation’s highest judicial body, then using a simple Senate majority to fill the vacancies with liberals.
Holder was addressing a virtual seminar hosted by the Brookings Institution, “Is There a Path Forward for Court Reform?”
The left has shown interest in “reform” since President Donald Trump was able to appoint conservatives to the bench.
Holder began his presentation with what he called “three realities.” First, he said, “Democrats and progressives, are, and have been, uncomfortable with the acquisition and the use of power.” Republicans and conservatives, he said, were not.
Second, he said, the Supreme Court and other courts had been “political bodies.”
And third, he said, the Supreme Court had largely upheld the status quo in its decisions, “sometimes in a way that is inimical to our founding ideals.”
He said that the federal courts were stacked with “ideologues who consistently reach rulings based on their stunted mindsets.”

I still hold Eric Holder in Contempt. It will be his brand for life.
Sorry fool, the filibuster stays and the court is unchanged. Next stupid idea please?
Holder should be in prison for running guns to Mexican cartels.
Of course he does. He envisions getting one of the new seats on the expanded court.
His pal Susan Rice has already put this in motion under her equity plan.
Who can blame them after all the positive ruling in favor of PDJT in the (s)election issu............. Oh.!?
Like Gay Marriage.
Roe V Wade.
Government can take whatever land from you they want if it’s for the greater good (however they define it).
You mean THOSE rulings you communist hack?
Eric the Red should be getting out of prison about now, secure in the knowledge, that, he will vote Bolshekrat more often when he is dead.

Projecting much, Eric? Show mw any RAT appointed judge who even considers the Constitution in his decisions. Following our founding document now is portrayed as a "stunted mindset"! But, consider the source (a moron).
The PuppetMaster of Antifa, BLM, New Black Panthers, SEIU, Acorn and Obama finally comes out of hiding.
He’s right, but about the wrong half.
During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used to disable and remove from society political opponents ("dissidents") who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted the official dogma.[4][5] The term "philosophical intoxication", for instance, was widely applied to the mental disorders diagnosed when people disagreed with the country's Communist leaders and, by referring to the writings of the Founding Fathers of Marxism–Leninism—Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin—made them the target of criticism.[6]Yikes, that it looking like the world under Bidenchev.
So the Democrats own the Senate, House and WH, and now Eric is saying “Become a dictatorship now! Pack the court, own it, and we will have a complete Fascist Dictatorship”
Anyone else NOT see this?
People of the Left, like Holder, are working diligently to pull the democrats to the extreme Left, and then begin to shut out and punish conservatives.
