** Holder to Biden: No Trump Pardon Without a Show of ‘Remorse’
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
This week on CBS’s Face the Nation ([link removed]) , former Attorney General Eric Holder ([link removed]) argued that in the event of a hypothetical conviction of Donald Trump, the former President should show signs of remorse and that he had turned his life around before President Biden considers granting him a pardon.
“Before I let you go, I want to ask you to put on your attorney general hat again,” host Margaret Brennan said. “Would you counsel President Biden, or the next president, whoever that is, to consider a pardon of the 45th president of the United States, either before or after a theoretical conviction?”
“I think I’d look — tell the president, the next attorney general, you know, to let the – let the system do its work, try the cases, see what the results are and then treat that convicted president or anybody else who is convicted as any other person would be treated,” Holder replied.
“Pardons generally are for people who express remorse and then who have done things that show that they have turned their lives around,” he continued. “If those kinds of determinations can be made with regard to the former president or anybody else who is convicted, yes, I would support that. In the absence of something like that, I don’t think that would be a wise thing to do.”

** Holder Calls for Democrats to Pack the Supreme Court
------------------------------------------------------------
Addressing ([link removed]) a virtual seminar ([link removed]) on “Court Reform” hosted by the Brookings Institution ([link removed]) on January 25, 2021, Holder said that President Trump’s three Supreme Court appointments had “sowed doubt” about the Court’s judicial independence. Claiming that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2016 had concocted a rationale out of “thin air” to block the confirmation of Obama nominee Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Holder stated that if Garland had been confirmed, a liberal-majority Court would have brought four years of “progressive” decisions. He also said that the 2020 confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Court constituted a Republican power grab. Thus, Holder concluded, Democrats “must use the power that they n
ow have.” “I believe it would be totally appropriate to add additional seats to the Supreme Court, in response to what has transpired over the past few years,” he said.
