The first U.S. attorney general in history to be held in criminal and civil contempt by Congress has targeted Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court, arguing Republicans are racist and Democrats need to be in control of redistricting.
In 2017, former Attorney General Eric Holder, with support from former president Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, created the National Democratic Redistricting Committee to execute “a comprehensive redistricting strategy that included shifting the balance of power away from total Republican control of redistricting.” In Texas, Holder’s redistricting effort is targeting three incumbent Texas Supreme Court justices on the ballot in November: Jimmy Blacklock, John Devine and Jane Bland.
(The Center Square) – The first U.S. attorney general in history to be held in criminal and civil contempt by Congress has targeted Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court, arguing Republicans are racist and Democrats need to be in control of redistricting.
“That is not what anybody on the Texas Supreme Court is doing.
The Texas Supreme Court is the highest court in the state that rules on civil cases.
For too long, a majority on the Texas Supreme Court, driven more by ideology than impartiality, has issued disastrous decisions that have caused real harm to the people,” Holder said.
The NDRC is also targeting seven state legislatures across the country; one governorship; four state supreme courts and one state ballot initiative.
“That is an insult to the justices who are currently on the court and the Democrat judges who are running against us because it suggests that a judge's job is to deliver results for a political party and that is absolutely not a judge's job.
