One of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives is how both view the Constitution. Conservatives believe that adhering to constitutional principles. if not the letter and spirit of the document, should be the guiding force of government. Liberals, on the other hand, see the Constitution as an impediment - something to be gotten around.
Keep that difference in mind when you hear what former Attorney General Eric Holder had to say about the Supreme Court.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the next Democratic president should “seriously” consider adding additional seats to the United States Supreme Court should they be elected alongside a Democratic majority in the Senate.
The comments came during a discussion Holder held with the Yale Law National Security Group. There was no recording of the event and only a snippet of what Holder said was tweeted out publicly. But a spokesman for Holder confirmed to The Daily Beast that he did embrace the idea of court-packing.
Why court packing? It's very simple, really. The Supreme Court refuses to ignore the Constitution in favor of approving a social justice agenda. And the best way to get around constitutional restrictions on government power is to create new liberal majority that will recognize that social justice issues supercede our founding document.
“In response to a question, Attorney General Holder said that given the unfairness, unprecedented obstruction, and disregard of historical precedent by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans, when Democrats retake the majority they should consider expanding the Supreme Court to restore adherence to previously accepted norms for judicial nominations,” said spokesman Patrick Rodenbush.
Shouldn't the word "Constitution" be in there somewhere? I think it telling that it isn't.

RE: The more the Dems go crazy, the more likely Trump will get a second term.
It will still boil down to these states:
Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Most of the elected GOP are progressives, too.
Sorry Holder. Your ‘RAT comrades have already “packed” the courts with tyrants and that’s one of the major problems in America these days. You’re not paying attention little buddy.
Why isn’t this prick in prison yet?
The evidence that the founders were correct to exclude the children of foreign nationals was manifest during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
We must NEVER allow it to happen again.
Why isn’t this prick in prison yet?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the GOP was complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
I’m an old guy. Watching Democrat/education establishment tactics over the past 20-30 years, I’m strongly reminded of Germany in 1938-39. I always wondered how the German people allowed themselves to fall under totalitarian Nazi rule but watching the machinations of Holder, Pelosi, Schumer and many other radical Democrats — with the willing cooperation of the “mainstream” media — I think I now know.
But, but,?
Chief Justice roberts says there are no
Obama judges!!!!
How can holder suggest they “pack
The court”???
/sarc
If they get POTUS, the Senate and House in 2020 this Republic is history.
GOP should fill every single vacancy (<200 judges) over the next year.
We have no Constitution.
No one was willing to uphold it and we forfeited it on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009
Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen””””
NEITHER is Kamala Harris.
Eric Holder, his Muslim God, and their treasonous cohorts should be spending their time, 24/7, covering their feces in their own litter box. Their major problem is that they’re out of litter. Covering feces with nothing will expose their corruption and treason against We The People and our country.
Our Donald has their dirt and they know it. Cornered Marxist RATs so to speak who will be flipping on each other to save their rears in the end. Gitmo is waiting.
“If they get POTUS and control of the Senate, I firmly believe that they will do this.”
That’s why solid red states like Montana better get the message when voting in Democrats, guys like Tester aren’t blue dog Zell Miller type conservatives. When you vote for them you’re putting the judicial checks and balances in jeopardy.
Nor is Bobby Jindal, Micro Rubio, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, George P. Bush, etc., etc., etc.
I guess the founders should have stated how many justices are to makeup the SCOTUS so that only a serious matter would allow such amendments.
Now that would be a constitutional crisis and get the sheeple's attention I would imagine.
Eric Holder is a mass murderer. He worked with obama to give weapons to mexican drug cartels to murder as many people as possible thinking the American people would then restrict owning guns. More then 400 men, women and 16 school children have been murdered so far with the weapons that were supplied.
