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record, also frequently cited the case of Merrick Garland as they called for the nomination to be either delayed or withdrawn entirely.

And many of us questioned the legitimacy of the Presidency after the Øbama inauguration.
“Elections have consequences.”
Holder
Ground Zero for th FISA investigation.
I question the legitimacy of Eric Holder.
Another low-life sack of sh*t who should be in prison for his “Fast and Furious” crimes speaks.
A legitimately elected president nominated a highly qualified judge as is his duty under the constitution. The legitimately elected Republican majority in the Senate confirmed this nominee in spite of an outrageous smear campaign with absolutely no evidence or corroboration because this is what their constituents wanted.
Yeah, Eric - that sounds really illegitimate to me. GFY.
I am reminded of the old southern expression:
“I can hear them jail doors clangin’.”
Holder is the guilty man running when (yet) no man pursues.
GOFU, go Holder.
this is rich coming from 0bama’s wingman.
I was expecting this.
The Democrats only recognize the legitimacy of an election when they win. Similarly, they will only consider court decisions legitimate when they win.
At a time when the federal court system will have an increasing number of Trump appointees, the Democrats have decided it’s time to delegitimize the courts.
Right. Fast and Furious is just the tip of the iceberg.
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.
Well, that's one way of putting it.
They shouldn't let retards write articles.
questioning the legitimacy of the court and arguing that it needed to regain the nation’s trust.
This crap won’t stop until Democrats are made an example of. As far as they are concerned the is no law if they don’t win.
We won!
The next attorney general will have Holder arrested.
I am guessing in the next 32 days.
Remember the Clinton pardon? How much was he paid to recommend the pardon?
That circumstance (just like in Dred Scott) will cause both sides to lose faith in the rule of law and act as a catalyst for the next CW.
Holy Queen Mother, pray for us.
Good question.
Those pardons resulted in over 95 senators condemning Bill Clinton!
I second that.
