Press Release
Issues: Executive Branch Judicial Branch
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the resignation of Eric Holder:
"I could not support the President's nomination of Eric Holder in 2009 because of the many questionable decisions he'd made as Deputy Attorney General. Five years later, I'm confident in the wisdom of that decision. Holder has placed ideological commitments over a commitment to the rule of law. These are not the qualities the American people look for in the nation's highest law-enforcement official. So I will be scrutinizing the President's replacement nominee to ensure the Justice Department finally returns to prioritizing law enforcement over partisan concerns.
