Eric Holder Says Next Democratic President Should Consider Court Packing

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the next Democratic president should “seriously” consider adding additional seat to the United States Supreme Court should they be elected alongside a Democratic majority in the Senate.
The comments came during a discussion Holder held with the Yale Law National Security Group. There was no recording of the event and only a snippet of what Holder said was tweeted out publicly. But a spokesman for Holder confirmed to The Daily Beast that he did embrace the idea of 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,” said spokesman Patrick Rodenbush.
Holder’s willingness to entertain the idea of court packing makes him one of the most senior Democratic officials to do so. To date, virtually all elected Democrats have either ignored the proposal or dismissed it out of hand. The one 2020 Democratic candidate who has said that court packing should be a consideration is South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
“It’s no more a departure from norms than what the Republicans did to get the judiciary to the place it is today,” Buttigieg has said. “Bold, ambitious ideas need a hearing right now."
Calls for Democrats to embrace court packing—adding additional seats to the Supreme Court and subsequently filling them—have come in response to anger within the party’s base over how Republicans in the Senate handled the Supreme Court nomination process over the past few years. President Barack Obama’s last nominee, Merrick Garland, was held up by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during the last year of his presidency.

Okay, as long as the next Republican President considers extraditing Eric Holder to Mexico to face trial for arming the murderous cartels.

Eric Holder is one of the most evil, destructive individuals to ever hold an office of real power in US history.
I’m not exaggerating.
John Brennan may look like Voldemort but Holder is right there with him.

Just like that spoiled rotten little weakling whose daddy had to sponsor a little league team just so junior could make a team....always figuring out how to buy an advantage. Like killing a big buck at nighttime...what an accomplishment!

How does one “pack” the courts?
What’s the process to go about adding SCOTUS justices?
If it’s so easy, what’s to stop McConnell and Trump from court packing right now?

I'll go along with this as long as he's delivered via helicopter and pushed out from an altitude of ~1,000 ft with a multi strand wire around his neck

Eric Holder is a traitor to the Constitution.

Nullification in the pipeline. The only reason most of the Ideologically-polarized Populous still professes reverence/respect for the Courts, is to the degree that said Court agrees with their particular Ideological policy. We are in de facto Nullification already; with a double standard of what criteria determines respect.
And of course, we all know what happens when one Side or the other pulls the Nullification trigger.
We fought a Civil War not long ago; my Grandfather's Grandfather was there. Human Nature has not changed. What has happened since then, is that Marxist Ideology has entered as a possible challenge to the Constitutional Republic, in the minds of many in the Populous.
Heard Stein (Rush's Show) discuss today that it was a small % that fought the Brits and created the Constitutional Republic. It don't take a majority to do big things...just a singularly-motivated minority can shake the Earth, if their Idea has power. Think Christianity.
