Election 2024: Eric Holder vs three Texas Supreme Court justices | Texas
SUMMARY: Eric Holder, the first U.S. attorney general held in contempt by Congress, is targeting Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court, alleging they are biased. Holder, supported by prominent Democrats, established the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) in 2017 to shift redistricting power away from Republicans. He’s endorsing challengers to three incumbent justices in the upcoming election. Holder claims the Texas Supreme Court’s conservative majority has harmed the public, while his critics argue he seeks partisan judges. Justice Jimmy Blacklock contends that judges should follow the law impartially, not serve political agendas, rejecting Holder’s claims of bias within the judicial system.
