Holder Says Democrats Have to Do This if Trump Fills Supreme Court Vacancy
Townhall.com ^ | September 19, 2020 | Bronson Stocking

The Democrats' true colors are showing through, for those who couldn't seem them clearly already. Former US Attorney General Eric Holder joined other Democrats on Saturday in calling on Joe Biden and Senate Democrats to pack the Supreme Court if they retake power in November. Holder said the conservative majority on the Supreme Court would be "illegitimate" if President Trump fullfills his Constitutional obligation to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"You would have a conservative majority on the court, an illegitimate conservative majority on the court, ruling on these matters that will affect the nation, you know, for generations to come," Holder lamented to MSNBC's Al Sharpton.

After lamenting about the nomination of Merrick Garland, who Obama futilely put forth during an election year when his party was out of power in the Senate, Holder said Democrats must rewrite the Constitution in order to pack the Supreme Court with liberals.

"If in fact they are successful in placing a justice on the court, I think what Democrats have to do, assuming that Biden is president and there is a Senate majority for the Democrats, we need to think about court reform. And at a minimum, as part of that reform package, I think additional justices need to placed on the Supreme Court."

This has been the plan all along, even before Ginsburg's death. Democrats can't wait to end the filibuster and rip up the Constitution so they can force their left-wing agenda on the American people. Anyone who reveres the country and the Constitution cannot let these people gain power.

EEven Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposed the idea of packing the Supreme Court.

Republicans could do this too - if they ever had the guts. With weepy-eyed douchebags like Paul Ryan winning the speakership last time around, it won't be happening any time soon.

“They are assuming that biden wins and the Dems end up with control of the senate.”

The Dems have a far better chance at taking the senate than they have of winning the presidency. Which is why President Trump must put forth a SC nominee in the next few days and that nominee must get a senate vote. And you know if the roles were reversed the Rats would do exactly that.

“Scalia was murdered.
Therefore, nothing is out of bounds for these people.”

Have always thought that also. Makes me concerned about the safety of Trump and family and some senators.

The founding fathers were brilliant but they made a huge mistake by not putting a constitutional check on the Judiciary.

The Constitution held for 200 years. When FDR tried to pack the court in 1937 by the same method Holder is threatening, members of his own party denounced him. Today we have a completely despicable dem party.

If Holder is so damn smart, how does he not know that the constitution does not define the makeup of the court. That can be changed by legislation as I understand it.

Did Dumb@ss Eric actually go to law school? College? High School? It’s hard to tell.

It is hard to tell isn't it? Another typical obozo appointee.

Holder is a traitor and a criminal who needs to be locked up. Let’s not forget his thug demand that people punch Republicans in the stomach

He is on video saying "if they go low; kick 'em". He could use a few kicks to the head. Might knock the stupid out of him.

Nah... too much stupid in that one.

The religious ritual /rites of passage for demon rats is the slaughter of alive, sensing unborn children (including so many black babies denied the chance to live a full life by the black abortion worshippers and demon rats. The furor is really all about their fear that the abortion slaughter will be halted. They worship the satanic ritual popular with Molech weworship. Their dead souls lust after the right to slaughter the unborn. They ... Are ... evil to their core.

We don’t have a “conservative Court” and may not if Trump successfully replaces Ginsburg. A large percentage of conservative appointees over the history of the Court have become leftists on the bench. Right now we have an even court with Robrts showing how he has “grown in office” from time to time by making contorted and fantastic arguments for apostasizing from the COnstitution.
