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.
Democrats, who had expressed concerns about the allegations as well as about Kavanaugh’s temperament and judicial record, also frequently cited the case of Merrick Garland as they called for the nomination to be either delayed or withdrawn entirely.

What about the legitimacy of the Kenyan. We had to put up with him for eight years.
“John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.” Andrew Jackson DEMOCRAT
Notice DEMOCRATS seem to challenge the legitimacy of the Court so they can ignore decisions. Meanwhile Republicans go to the ballot box to fix these disagreements.
What would be easier to ask is this: what did Eric Holder ever say about the Clinton pardons?
Any condemnation by him?
“The Court must now prove - through its work - that it is worthy of the nation’s trust.” - Eric Holder, former AG and current liar.
Translation - the SC better rule 100% far lefty, pro-BLM, and never, ever take a case questioning the legitimacy of Roe v. Wade, Affirmative Action or Obamacare … or else it cannot be trusted.
Correct. In their worldview, all non orthodox are illegitimate at best, and apostates at worst.
And the current orthodoxy is that a white man is guilty of any and all allegations.
Holder was always a partisan hack, Obozo shill, and corrupt. Nothing has changed.
They gotta lotta nerve.
Or else there will be violence.
I have stated before, but Susan Collins was viewed as a lock by the left for voting against confirmation. Something made her change. Something made her so mad that risking her safety and her career was worth the vote and the speech.
I am going to bet the threats were not from the GOP.
Unfortunately, at the time of the post I couldn’t remember the name of the pardoned. It was Mark Rich, aka Marcell David Reich, who cornered the russian aluminum market.
There can be no dobt that his pardon was paid for by money some how being delivered to the Clintons and Eic Holder and the necessary others.
It always amazes me how losers come up with the excuses they do to describe their victimhood. Eric’s dream will always be a dream.
He also pardoned FALN bomb terrorists who resisted promising to never be bomb terrorists again.
This hard Leftist was AG! This statement needs to be universally condemned.
I still question the legitimacy of the Obama presidency since he was not a US citizen.
I hope they get their Civil War. It will be over in an afternoon and we can get back to work.
Not to worry - I’m sure his name is on at least one of Huber’s 55,000+ sealed indictments
This is the same domestic terrorist and criminal Eric Holder who burned universities during the Vietnam war and should have gone to prison.
Listen Warmonger, you have been beating that drum for a long time.
War in the States will be a Rwanda, not a quick operations.
You are pretty keen on sacrificing the lives of millions of people thoughtlessly and without a clear gain.
You do Soro’s bidding often?
Strange how the word “alleged” is used freely and frequently for some of the most heinous crimes, but is completely absent in this case.
No more it’s the law of the land?
These pigs question the legitimacy of anything except a Marxist state.
