The former attorney general is known for weaponizing the IRS against conservative groups and for his role in the failed Operation Fast and Furious.<\/p>\n<p>Holder now appears to be calling on Democrats to establish a one-party rule in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Except for a limited period of time and a limited number of cases, the Supreme Court has tended to defend status quo sometimes in a way that is inimical to our founding ideals,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;As we enter the beginning of the Biden administration, I think we should be frank about where we are now: Democrats and progressives must use the power that they now have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Holder also criticized America&#8217;s judiciary system for upholding the U.S. Constitution, stating courts must take a more progressive stance on key political issues.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is there a path forward for court reform?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T655iwt5cLE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-caught-lying-about-buy-american-plagiarizing-president-trump\/\"> Biden caught lying about \u2018Buy American\u2019, plagiarizing President Trump<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File \u2013 Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2181133,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/holder-315x210.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Obama-era AG urges Democrats to pack Supreme Court, accuses U.S. judicial system of \u2018conservative bias\u2019","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/holder-315x210.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Obama-era AG urges Democrats to pack Supreme Court, accuses U.S. judicial system of \u2018conservative bias\u2019","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2181133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
