Former attorney general Eric Holder said the next Democratic president should "seriously" consider adding seats to the Supreme Court if they have a Democratic majority in the Senate
Holder made the remarks during an event with the Yale Law National Security Group, the Daily Beast reports. Although there is no recording of the event, a spokesman for Holder confirmed he supported court-packing.

"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," spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said.

As usual. Can't win the game, change the rules until you do.

That mother fucker should be busy dropping soap in a prison gang shower.

 

[Tisto]

Eric Holder should pack his ass with broken glass, sand, and epoxy.

 

[GOPerfect]

Completely legal. Hell, Trump could do this exact same thing. Fuck it, add like 8 seats right now.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

This business will get out of control. We will end up with a 50 or more seat supreme court. each time power changes hands the number will just go up in favor of whichever party is in power.

That is one of the biggest reasons it has not been added to in many years.

These people need to be careful of the path they may go down.

This all stems from the legislative branch giving up it's power to the executive and all it's ABC agencies.

This country is already way beyond saving so I don't give a fuck. Pack it with 20 liberal judges. It'll be the same as now anyway.

I guess he doesn't remember Harry Reid under Obama.

 

[Saltwater60]

As usual the republicans should have acted to solidify the Supreme Court at the set numbers of 9 but failed to do anything about it.

 

[Jmac00]

This coming from the ONLY AG in U.S. history to be held in Contempt of Congress, and completely ignore the the order, AND is still wondering around the country free as a bird

 

[Burzum]

Consider this in 1790 the US population was almost 4 million and we had 6 justices, now we are 320+ million with 9 justices, and those 9 are not working themselves to the bone, maybe only taking less than 200 cases annually.

Historically here is the problem, those who take the initiative and rape the Constitution, win. Democrats and Liberals have done it for decades and Republicans just sit there naked with their "principles" as the Republic withers.

Did he bump off Scalia?
