STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL LUTHER STRANGE

Regarding U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s attempt to end-run
SCOTUS ruling in Shelby County v. Holder

“This is just one more instance of the Obama Administration and Eric
Holder ignoring our system of checks and balances when it doesn’t get its
desired result. Attorney General Holder completely dismisses the progress
made by Alabama, Texas and other southern states over the last fifty years.
This is a perfect example of why our state Attorneys General are so
important, especially at this point in history where they are the last line of
defense against an out of control federal government.”
