Eric Holder

I think it absolutely must address that.

We want to acquire the Thompson facility. It would really be a welcome addition to our Bureau of Prisons and increase the capacity that we need for those kinds of prisoners, and we will not move people from Guantanamo, regardless of the…

This is a problem that we must address. Our Nation is otherwise at risk.

At a heated hearing on Capitol Hill, Attorney General Eric Holder rejected a call for his resignation.

Our hope would be that we can do this reauthorization in a way that happens well before the expiration of these acts.

I have enjoyed my time as Attorney General. It has been a tough job.

We consider this an open matter.

If we have intellectual property that is stolen or trade secrets that are stolen and then we have knock-offs that are made on the basis of those secrets that are stolen that are not done in an appropriate way, public safety can be affected.

The Article III system has proven to be effective both in this administration and in the prior administration.

I want to make sure that we follow through in that same spirit and ultimately get a handle around any issues that remain.

I am proud that the Department has taken robust action to address this crisis.

I do not have any intention of resigning.

I applaud the effort that has been made, and I would hope that there can be some kind of coming together and passing that legislation as quickly as possible.

I am proud of all that has been achieved by the 116,000 men and women who serve the Department in offices around the world.

this administration understands the Presidents as a constitutional lawyer understands that Marbury v. Madison is still good law

to say we should not discuss anything that is before the Supreme Court or the courts generally I think maybe goes a little far.

This is really a 21st century problem, one that we are working with our counterparts in the private sector.

The notion of putting into VAWA a concern with and enforcement capability to deal with cyber issues is totally consistent with what we are dealing with now in 2012.

I think that the Supreme Court and the Justices are strong-willed people, and they do not live in a hothouse environment.

I am offering to sit down with the Speaker, with the Chairman, with you, whoever, to try to work our way through this in an attempt to avoid a constitutional crisis.

These kinds of activities, this theft, takes from the United States the ability to produce the kinds of things that our entrepreneurs have invented in this country.

We support the Senate version of the reauthorization of VAWA.

There is no question that that decision...was a setback.

I think in those people we have people who have shown independence, an ability to be thorough, and who have the guts to ask tough questions.

the desire here is not for an accommodation but for political point making.
