Former Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday said Democrats should consider packing the Supreme Court when they regain political power.

Holder said he would “seriously consider” adding two seats to the court if he were president, as revenge for the two seats on the court that President Donald Trump has filled since taking office. Holder wants other Democrats to follow suit.

“In response to a question, Attorney General Holder said that given the unfairness, unprecedented obstruction, and disregard of historical precedent by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans, when Democrats retake the majority they should consider expanding the Supreme Court to restore adherence to previously accepted norms for judicial nominations,” a Holder spokesman said in a statement.

  1. Holder was a corrupt AG, who cares about his opinion!
    The primary reason that Eric Holder should be impeached is that he has been untruthful under oath many times before multiple committees of Congress.
    Dismissal of the New Black Panther Voter Intimidation Case
    An-other reason to impeach Eric Holder is that during his time as attorney general, the Justice Department has provided cover for an attack on the basic integrity of our voting rolls.
    Eric Holder has staffed the Justice Department from top to bottom with lawyers who are said to be
    16members of the “al-Qaeda bar.” This is the name that some Justice employees have given to the leftist activist attorneys who went out of their way to help Islamic terrorists especially during the Bush administration.
    The Free Exercise clause of the Constitution allows Americans to freely practice their faith without interference from the government. But as attorney general, Holder had overseen a dramatic and deliberate attack on this constitutional right, while also focusing hostility on religious liberty generally.
