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.

Holder is a true example of illegitimacy of an office holder.
No, actually it doesn't. And Holder belongs in an unmarked grave at a crossroads.
Say what you want about Holder, but I wish Trump had picked a partisan hard core loyalist like him as AG instead of a milquetoast
Given some of the crap out of the Supreme Court in recent years, we, us little FReepers, often questioned whether they should be ignored, but you NEVER saw that from Republican leaders, particularly former AGs.
Get ready for some fireworks, Holder is basically telling California and other blue states to simply IGNORE any rulings that are handed down regarding the Second Amendment, for example.
Things will likely have to get a bit ugly before this crap ends.
Eric ‘Dick’ Holder needs to be held accountable
and prosecuted for all the illegal & extra-legal he did as AG.
What a prick
Eric... Don’t you have abortion parts to sell, or guns to run?
Eric is one of them that needs to be investigated
Who?
How dare he talk about ‘justice’ and ‘law’?
Remember Fast and Furious?
Remember Holder’s ‘investigation’ of targeted Tea Party audits by the IRS?
Remember Holder’s ‘investigation’ of corrupt businesses funded by Porkulus?
Eric Holder sure did keep the Clinton Foundation from being the most corrupt in world history, right? [Under his nose.] And he worked for the White House during Chinagate and the raided FBI files — what kind of justice did he seek then?
Ask Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch what he knows about Eric Holder.
Oh wait, he's serious? Sorry Eric, but shut up...
“..The bad news is - is I think they can become desperate and dangerous....”
They already are VERY dangerous. Proof of that were the Clinton and Obama administrations.
Yes!
In a different time and day, Eric Holder would already somebody’s jailhouse b*tch with his pants around his knees.
Who knows... that day may still come.
One can hope.
LOL!!!
The look on Wiener’s face is priceless.
Such and unbelievably Dorky POS.
