From the Daily Caller:Former Attorney General Eric Holder said the next Democratic nominee for President should make “reform” of the Supreme Court a major item in their 2028 platform.
Then-President Joe Biden proposed reforms to the Supreme Court in a July 2024 op-ed in the Washington Post, citing the court’s ruling in United States v. Trump that granted immunity from prosecution for a president’s official acts and claiming the reforms, including 18-year terms for Supreme Court justices, were necessary to “strengthen the guardrails of democracy.” Holder said the conservative jurisprudence of the Supreme Court had to be stopped when former Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison asked if Democrats should target the court in the next presidential race.
“I think the Supreme Court has to be reformed, potentially, you know, expanded. We cannot simply allow this court to continue to do that which it has done,” Holder responded.
“They don’t focus on precedent. They focus on personnel and by that, I mean, you know, they think, all right, we’ve got six votes and we can now do things that are inconsistent with precedent, long-term precedents that have been put in place to the detriment of our democracy,” Holder claimed. “To the detriment of fairness, and that means political fairness as well as economic fairness. And so I think, yeah, that should be a part of whoever runs for president, Supreme Court [reform].”
Holder, 74, a Democrat, served as U.S. Attorney General during the Obama administration, from 2009 – 2015.
Since leaving office with the DOJ, Holder has supported and promoted redistricting efforts that would put more Democrats in Congress. However, he then reacted in outrage when Republicans in Texas changed the congressional maps.

Holder’s X feed is filled with allegations of “gerrymandering” against Republicans, as he rages over every instance where Republicans are a good chance of winning any congressional district.
“Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts,” Holder raged in August, as he lamented that conservatives now hold a majority in the Supreme Court.

Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen…
