Eric Holder actually said...

"If we are going to be really cracking down on gun crime, there are reasonable explanations as to why we have those numbers."

"The use of lethal force--and I am saying drones, guns, or whatever else--would not be appropriate in that circumstance."

"DOMA was one of those. We thought there was not a reasonable basis to defend the statute applying that heightened scrutiny standard."

"It is the tradition of the Department to always enforce laws where there is a reasonable basis to argue for the enforcement of those laws."
