Reports: FMR. AG Holder says Next Democratic President Should Add Seats to the Supreme Court.
Former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder advocated for Supreme Court packing at a Yale Law National Security Group conversation Thursday afternoon, according to three students who attended the event. A Holder spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush later confirmed his statement to The Daily Beast.https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2019/03/08/former-ag-holder-advocates-for-court-packing-at-yls-event/ *more at link*
The comment came when an audience member asked Holder to clarify his when they go low, we kick them comment made in October a reference to Michelle Obamas now famous line, When they go low, we go high. Holder answered that while civility is an important principle, Democrats are adverse to wielding power like Republicans have, according to Ramis Wadood LAW 21, who attended the event. Holder went on to say that if he were president and had a Democratic majority in Congress, he would seriously consider adding two seats to the Supreme Court to make up for Mitch McConnells power-grabbing antics and his blocking of Merrick Garlands confirmation, Wadood recalled.
Holders office did not respond to comment Thursday afternoon. Several audience members, including Wadood, are researchers for an initiative urging Democrats to expand federal courts called Pack the Courts.
