Holder: Supreme Court's legitimacy can be questioned after Kavanaugh confirmation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said over the weekend that the Supreme Court's legitimacy can be "justifiably" questioned, citing Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation as a justice.

"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 tweeted on Saturday, referencing former President Obama's final Supreme Court nominee, who was blocked by Republican senators.

"The Court must now prove - through its work - that it is worthy of the nation’s trust," Holder added.

The strong criticism from Holder, who served in Obama's administration from 2009 to 2015, came only moments after the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in a 50-48 vote.
