Former Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday openly called for 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, lending his support to a push that has gained steam among Democrats amid the Trump administration’s rapid-fire federal judicial appointments — and the possibility of a looming Supreme Court vacancy.
Holder, who once described himself as former President Barack Obama’s “wingman,” this week also took a shot at Attorney General Bill Barr, saying the current state of the Justice Department (DOJ) is a politicized “disaster.”

Dems will roll out impeachment again, they have nothing left.
The people of the world are getting a glimpse of life with a libtard.
Continuous bitch and madness against everything.
They do not comprehend the gift of a society of laws to limit government.

Liberals don’t back the first amendment or the second, they want to toss the Electoral College and now they want to dump the structure of the Supreme Court?
For all their talk about their great love for ‘the Constitution’ their actions scream hatred.
THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
“When they go low, we kick them.”
....Goes to show you that a POS like Holder can have money and education....but ultimately he is nothing but ghetto trash.
