Obama AG Eric Holder questions legitimacy of Supreme Court after Kavanaugh confirmation
Fox News ^ | October 6, 2018 | Adam Shaw

Posted on 10/06/2018 5:27:34 PM PDT by jazusamo

Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder reacted to the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court Saturday by questioning the legitimacy of the court and arguing that it needed to regain the nation's trust.

Holder -- who served as the nation’s top lawyer under former President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2015 -- said the treatment of former Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland by Senate Republicans, as well as Kavanaugh’s confirmation, meant the legitimacy of the court was in question.

“With the confirmation of Kavanaugh and the process which led to it, (and the treatment of Merrick Garland), the legitimacy of the Supreme Court can justifiably be questioned,” he tweeted. “The Court must now prove - through its work - that it is worthy of the nation’s trust.”

He did not say how the court would go about doing that.

The Senate voted 50-48 to confirm Kavanaugh Saturday after a rancorous confirmation fight and a week-long FBI probe to settle concerns about sexual assault allegations that threatened his nomination. It marked the tightest successful Supreme Court confirmation vote in over 100 years.

If NY and California try to succeed, how long after a blockade by the US military before they surrender?

The people that were involved in that administration are some of the most disruptive I’ve ever seen. It’s like he’s trying to lay out the ground work for a SCOTUS revolution. They are evil. He’s no different than Bill Ayers.

God protect t this nation.

These leftist democrats will have to be put down at some point. They aren't going to follow the rule of law. They don't care about our Constitution. They are tyrants who will destroy the country and murder anyone who opposes them. We can never allow them back in power. There needs to be harsher punishment for all these unhinged leftist breaking the law and threatening people's lives. We can't keep tolerating this kind of behavior.

Holder is trying to normalize this because it's part of their radical leftist agenda for when their back in power. If they aren't going to play by the rules then neither should we. The corruption and evil of the Obama administration will look tame compared to what we'll get if we ever allow the radical leftist democrats back into power. We have to stop them in November, and consolidate our power.

VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER! - TRUMP 2020!! - MAGA!!!

In the past, when they went after a person’s character, that person withdrew. That’s what they expected. They pulled out all the stops and Kavamaugh held strong. They did not expect this. Just as they didn’t expect Trump to win. They are besides themselves.

They will get sloppy, just as they did because they were freaking out. The good news with them getting sloppy is they reveal just how over the top they are and their credibility is lost to some voters.

The bad news is - is I think they can become desperate and dangerous.

Garland wasn’t treated poorly. It was Obama as a lame-duck that was dismissed.

Holder knows all the secrets of the DoJ/FBi - and he knew Sessions was going to play ball.

Sessions could be convinced on the most important decisions, like preventing a real Investigation (with a Prosecutor) of the DoJ / FBi.

And Comey told the Senate under oath that Sessions was compromised.

The guy who was found in contempt of congress never followed Supreme Court decisions he didn’t like anyway.

His comment sounds like a basis for disbarment.

Eric the Fraud says what?

He should be in prison for running guns to narcoterrorists in Mexico.

Just doing his job. Holder is the quintessential demonrat yes-man; whatever he says was spoken by obama first.

I never capitalize obama because he’s such a nobody.

the legitimacy of the Supreme Court can justifiably be questioned,

Sounds like he's saying it's OK to be violent if the Court rules in a way you don't like.
