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.

He be sweating. Buuuwaaahahaha!
Agreed. Let's rule only based on the literal meaning of the Constitution and the letter of the law in question. No more references to foreign law, popularity, the penumbra, or social justice. Just restore the rule of law.
Just more of The wicked hating righteous men who uphold the law!
People who play dirty are hoist on their own petard. I shed no tears for the Rats.
Eric ... Holder. Hey, I remember that name. Wasn’t it the only United States Attorney General ever held in Contempt of Congress?
A lot of us questioned the legitimacy of the Presidency after the Øbama inauguration.
Neither one could pass the LSAT in my opinion.
Eric Holder got his IQ test results back - he tested NEGATIVE!,
No extra points for melanin?

Holder had a scare after his last colonoscopy - but the blockage turned out to be only his brain.
He currently is recovering well...
Every step of this has been so utterly predictable and transparent. The upside - it shows clearly that these people would rather destroy a good person, rip apart our Constitutionally-prescribed processes, and destroy the Supreme Court itself than lose. And Holder may be the ugliest of the bunch.
Right on FRiend, what a jerk and much worse.
I really can’t type here what I think of this tool.
How’s Elian doing?
Well, look what crawled out of its hole.
I very excited about Holder’s presidential aspirations. Run Eric Run!
Exactly.
Everything about the Fraud’s life has been a lie.
His “children” will never know who they or their “parents” truly are.
Obama’s “wing man” is obviously afraid that the criminal conviction that will be coming his way when we get an AG who can stay awake during the day will wind up before SCOTUS.
