Holder: 'Additional Justices' Needed on Supreme Court if Trump Appointment Confirmed

2020-09-21

Good idea. Trump should increase the number of justices to 21, and appoint all the new justices his next term. That'll guarantee conservative control of the court for at least the next forty years.

[BREITBART] Saturday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s "PoliticsNation," former Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
told host civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
if Republicans succeeded in confirming a replacement for Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appointed by President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, a future Democrat Senate majority along with Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
, if he is elected president, should consider "court reform."

According to Holder, such a measure would mean adding justices to the Supreme Court.

"You would put in place — if this is allowed to happen, a 6-3 court," he said. "And with all the issues you have talked about, you would have a conservative majority — or illegitimate conservative majority on the court ruling on the matters that will affect the nation for generations to come. One of the realities is if Merrick Garland had been confirmed, as he should have been, there would have been a progressive majority for the past three years. And think what about that meant. So I think if, if in fact, they are successful in placing a justice on the court, I think that 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 be placed on the Supreme Court.”

#12 If the demoncrats get 51 seats in the Senate, I guarantee the filibuster will never see the light of day.

#9 Hey, why can't I be a judge? I have rights & feelings, too.

#8 Surprise. The only use of the Constitution is to keep the rubes believing it still exists. Power by any means necessary.

#7 These type of announcements from the Left just proves that given the same situation and same position they would nominate and confirm a new Justice before the next election. They are basically saying they would change the rules to pack the court to meet their quest for power if given the opportunity.

#6 So says the Racists (see his Anti-White statements) EX US AG that operated a massive Illegal Gun operation while AG. Where he approved and oversaw the selling automatic weapons and other firearms to the Drug Cartel and Mexican Gang members.

All of which resulted in the deaths of American Law Enforcement and civilians.

Why wasn't he ever criminally charged for the resulting deaths and homicides?

So what you're saying is that a Progressive Majority is allowable, but a Conservative Majority is not allowed?

Fuck. You.

#4 Surely 57 judges, one for each state?

#3 Of course as the man who gave Mexico to the drug barons with Fast and Furious he can't wait until we are as internally unstable as Mexico.
