Obama AG Eric Holder questions legitimacy of Supreme Court after Kavanaugh confirmation
Fox News ^ | October 6, 2018 | Adam Shaw

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.

This is the new dem talking point that they dreamed up when it became obvious Kavanaugh would be confirmed: The only way Kavanaugh and the Court can prove that they are fair and unbiased is to rule in favor of the left every chance they get.

The left simply doesn’t understand that things have changed and we just don’t care what they say or think anymore. We don’t need or want their approval. In fact, the more they protest, the surer we can be that we’re doing exactly the right thing for God, man and country.

Who the heck does this lawless piece of gutter trash think he is? He didn’t enforce the laws of this nation, he made them up as he went along to facilitate Odungo’s destruction of America. Rather than criticize a completely upright and admirable man just appointed to the Supreme Court, this guy should go back to the gutters from whence he sprang. I’m sure the rats and other vermin would welcome a fellow disease vector.

In other words, the voting rights of half the voters in the country are not legitimate.

Democrats’ view of Kavanaugh was sentence first, verdict afterwards.

The Senate rejected it and told them to take a walk.

You can fix it all, Eric......we hope to see you on the ballot in 2020. It should be easy for you to reach the finals considering the paucity of your competition. You can show us your stuff....starting with that Philly electioneering case, and gun running to Mexico, and that censure...for starters.

Oh....and they'll be more coming from the Trump FISA revelations.
