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record, also frequently cited the case of Merrick Garland as they called for the nomination to be either delayed or withdrawn entirely.

The way I see it down the road we have three options (at least the way I have seen it up until yesterday), Bosnia, Venezuela, or Chile. I have previously posted, while CHile is horrific one has to recognize that at the “end of the day” fewer people died in CHile... I do see now a glimmer of Hope for a turn from the cliff in what Trump is doing but I still say you simply cannot share a country with people who refuse to lose. It may be gratifying to see that crowd of protestors dwindle but probably a third of voters are entrenched radicals who endorse BAMN.
Is this what they call dog whistling?
Boy, I hope so. He's nasty piece of work.
Ground Zero for th FISA investigation.
Nothing as big as FISA happens without POTUS knowing and leading.
Hussein lead the charge and Holder along with many others were just bit level followers.
Hussein is ground zero.
See #61.
We’ve been questioning Holder’s legitimacy for years.
The people who refuse to lose are in general breaking laws and are therefore criminals. By delaying the arrests, more and more people are abandoning the Schumer/Pelosi/Obama/Hillary circus called the Demonrat Party.
Since the first really big lie in American history, the presstitutes (and really their gubermint handlers) have found that you can tell any lie by just avoiding the truth.
The presstitutes tell you today PROTESTERS when in fact Schummer told us in July that no matter who President Trump nominated, he was going to work to bring it all down if necessary.
Eventually even the liberal morons who continue to support the RATS will get it: The radical leftists who control the DEMONRAT PARTY do not represent their values.
LIBERAL does NOT equal LEFTIST
LEFTISTS want the destruction of borders and hence the destruction of the US.
Liberals are frequently immature fools who think gubermints can manage everybody from housing to healthcare to education. But liberals in general do NOT want open borders and gang rapes of their children by the barbarians the RATS want to flood into the US.
Nice.
I agree. Within the context of the 50-state republic, they will not stop until after an authoritarian government makes them stop.
Like Obama said in which Trump says “I won”.
And hence the conundrum. Hell, i’m No psycho that wants to murder people. I’m a retired MD. I have spent my life trying to make peple’s Lives better. The thing that frightens me most is we may fail to do something necessary that our grandchildren will pay the price for.
Don’t say that.
Don’t even think it.
One of the other causes of the CW was that both sides, confident that God and History was on their side, believed that any war would be all over in 6 weeks.

Going to war is easy when you KNOW you will win without great sacrifice.

And this whole operation is being run out of 2446 Belmont Road, N.W.
Indeed in some places he won by 108 % not elected selected.
The GOP put up Designated Losers for him to “beat”.
Both of those elections were shams.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation WAS GOING to happen, Constitution be damned.
Both parties wanted Precedent Obama to open the door for all their other ineligible candidates.

Not so sure I think it was the old it’s his turn gig that scam is over no more games it’s who is the best take the power.
