The mask is finally off. Former Attorney General Eric Holder’s brazen call to pack the Supreme Court with 21 justices represents the most direct assault on America’s constitutional framework since the Civil War—and President Trump is leading the charge to expose this dangerous scheme before it’s too late.
In a masterful display of political chess, Trump has turned Holder’s radical proposal into a teachable moment for the American people, warning that the Left’s court-packing fantasy would “destroy our Constitution” and transform our highest court into nothing more than a partisan rubber stamp for progressive extremism.
**The Left’s Constitutional Coup Exposed**
Holder’s proposal isn’t just radical—it’s revolutionary in the most un-American sense. By demanding the Court be expanded from nine to 21 justices, the former Obama lieutenant is essentially admitting that Democrats can’t win through constitutional means, so they’re prepared to blow up the system entirely.
This isn’t about “reform” or “balance,” as Holder disingenuously claims. It’s about raw power. When the Left controlled the Court for decades, judicial activism was celebrated as “evolving jurisprudence.” Now that constitutional originalists hold sway, suddenly the Court is “broken” and needs radical restructuring.
The timing reveals everything. After watching their carefully constructed judicial empire crumble with decisions that actually follow the Constitution rather than progressive wishful thinking, Democrats are throwing a constitutional tantrum that would make a toddler blush.
**Trump’s Strategic Counterpunch**
President Trump’s response demonstrates why he remains the conservative movement’s most effective leader. Rather than simply opposing Holder’s scheme, Trump has proposed eliminating the Senate filibuster entirely—a move that would give Republicans unprecedented power when they inevitably retake control.
This brilliant maneuver forces Democrats into an impossible choice: pursue their court-packing dreams while simultaneously destroying their own procedural protections, or abandon their radical agenda to preserve the filibuster they’ll desperately need when the political winds shift.
It’s classic Trump—turning the Left’s weapons against them while positioning conservatives as the true defenders of institutional stability.
**Historical Perspective Matters**
Even Franklin Roosevelt, hardly a conservative icon, couldn’t sell court-packing to the American people during the height of the Great Depression when his popularity was at its peak. The scheme was so transparently political that even Democrats in Congress rejected it as a threat to constitutional governance.
Today’s proposal makes FDR’s plan look modest. Holder wants to more than double the Court’s size, creating a judicial super-legislature that would make the Supreme Court indistinguishable from Congress—except with lifetime tenure and no accountability to voters.
The Founders designed the Court with nine justices for good reason: to ensure careful deliberation, prevent mob rule, and maintain the delicate balance between federal branches. Holder’s scheme would obliterate this careful constitutional architecture in service of partisan politics.
**Economic and Strategic Implications**
Beyond the constitutional crisis, court-packing would devastate America’s economic stability and international standing. Imagine the chaos as a politicized 21-member Court issues contradictory rulings, overturns precedent with each political shift, and reduces American law to the whims of whoever controls the White House and Senate.
Foreign investors would flee. International partners would question America’s institutional stability. The rule of law—the foundation of American prosperity—would become a partisan plaything.
**The Path Forward**
This fight represents a defining moment for American patriots. Holder’s premature revelation of Democratic intentions provides conservatives with powerful ammunition for 2026 and 2028, allowing us to frame elections as referendums on constitutional preservation versus progressive destruction.
President Trump has once again demonstrated his unique ability to expose the Left’s radical agenda while positioning conservatives as the adults in the room. As this battle unfolds, Americans will face a clear choice: constitutional governance or partisan chaos.
The Constitution has survived worse threats than Eric Holder’s desperate schemes. With principled leadership and an informed electorate, it will survive this one too.
