Obama AG Eric Holder questions legitimacy of Supreme Court after Kavanaugh confirmation
Fox ^ | 10/7/18

Posted on 10/07/2018 4:14:18 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

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record, also frequently cited the case of Merrick Garland as they called for the nomination to be either delayed or withdrawn entirely.

The constitution means little or nothing to Holder, its just an inconvenient document which must be continually circumvented by Alinsky radical strategy so he and others like him can usher in control by emotional liberal fascism, totalitarian mob rule, with power centralized in the hands of a very few who work day and night to remain unaccountable to the People.

President Trump represents the rebirth of America, and power in the hands of the People.

And Holder announces another radical Alinsky Democrat policy which would let the liberal fascist mob rule via a legislating SCOTUS and the Deep State?

EFF YOU royally Holder. You will shortly find yourself in the dust bin of history, where you have belonged from the get go.

Indicted by Congress for refusing to comply with requests for documents by the People, Eric Holder is a genuine racketeering liberal mafia crook, a totalitarian liberal fascist Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” kook seeking legitimacy.

Don’t let the door hit you in your Muslim radical loving ass on the way out.

I won’t doubt his parents were married, but the legitimacy of his college and law school degrees are fair game.

I question the legitimacy of Holder.

Actually, I don’t. He has none.

Eric Holder is an angry, race-obsessed, radical Prog whose boss was tight with domestic terrorists. Take his opinion for what it’s worth.

What does he have to say about Fast and Furious? He should be in jail, along with his former boss.

The Democrats are setting up to ignore the Court once they regain political power in Washington. When they control the enforcement of law and court decisions the Court can suddenly become irrelevant while they go about the task of removing “illegitimate” justices and/or packing the Court. I can imagine a Democrat Congress and Senate declaring judges illegitimate and marshals being sent over to arrest those illegitimate justices. Things like that are the reason that every election is the most important election in American history. The Democrats now stay within the confines of the Constitution only because they do not hold the reins of power at the moment. The next Democrat administration will be truly “post Constitutional.”

Don’t worry Eric, the Supreme Court will be just fine, and Americans can sleep well, knowing that you will never have the opportunity to occupy one of those seats.

Good one, Holder, coming from an illegitimate attorney general for an illegitimate resident.

Eric Holder. Corrupt, intensely racist, not the sharpest tool in the shed, and in serious need of an investigation.

I think if you read my posts you will discover I have repeatedly asked if their is an alternative to helicopters because I don’t see one. I also am having a hearty chuckle, please point to ONE of my 21,000 posts that suggests I have ever gotten a dime from Soros. A High School friend of my wife actually has worked for Soros for 20 years. I publicly berated her for doing so in a restaurant in Maryland 20 years ago. I understand, passions are high, mine as well. I hope this helps you understand my actual position.

I hope they get their Civil War. It will be over in an afternoon

They said that before First Manassas, too.

When Gavin Newsom announces that the State of California will not recognize decisions of the USSC in which Brett Kavanaugh participates in the majority and starts arresting CIS officers in the San Diego sector, and he is joined by Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy, and Ned Lamont, what's your plan to end it in an afternoon?

And please be specific. Yes, I have a lot of 5.56 like everybody does, but the number of riflemen and the number of blades of grass are really not relevant to my scenario.
