In reaction to the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of United States, former AG Eric Holder has called the entire legitimacy of SCOTUS into question.
“With the confirmation of Kavanaugh and the process which led to it, (and the treatment of Merrick Garland), the legitimacy of the Supreme Court can justifiably be questioned,” Holder wrote. “The Court must now prove – through its work – that it is worthy of the nation’s trust.”

Holder gave no indication how this would be carried out.
Democrats obviously tried to delay the appointment of Kavanaugh until the coming elections where they hope to regain control so that they could block President Trump’s nominee. It must be especially painful for those who consider that Republicans blocked the hearing to appoint Merrick Garland, Obama’s nominee.
As you lament the Merrick Garland outrage never forget that McConnell and R’s did not fill lower court seats for YEARS. Those are the seats being filled now. Use the rage of today to get people out to vote and be rid of these people. Your voice matters. Your vote counts. VOTE!
