I look forward to working with the NRA to come up with ways in which we can use common sense approaches to reduce the level of violence that we see - in our streets, and make the American people as safe as they possibly can be.

I am not a proponent of the death penalty, but I will enforce the law as this Congress gives it to us.

Smart on Crime says if you commit violent crimes, you should go to jail, and go to jail for extended periods of time. For people who are engaged in non-violent crimes - any crimes, for that matter - we are looking for sentences that are proportionate to the conduct that you engaged in.

The inability to pass reasonable gun safety laws after the Newtown massacre is something that weighs heavily on my mind.
Eric Holder -
Although the attorney general is a part of the president's team, you're really separate and apart. You have a special responsibility as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. There has to be a distance that you keep - between this department and the White House.
Eric Holder -
I'll leave here with my head held high and with confidence that history will judge my time here.
Eric Holder -
You keep your eyes on the prize, you try to do what's right, and eventually, you'll reach your goal.

On a personal level, I've seen a lot in my time as attorney general, but few things have affected me as greatly as my visit to Ferguson. I had the chance to meet with the family of Michael Brown. I spoke to them not just as attorney general but as a father of a teenage son myself.

I'm a hard headed lawyer.

No individual or company, no matter how large or how profitable, is above the law.
Eric Holder -
I'm attorney general of the United States. I will not stand for - I will not allow people to take away that which people gave their lives to give, and that is the ability for the American people to vote.

History simmers beneath the surface in more communities than just Ferguson.
Eric Holder -
The vast majority of law enforcement officers conduct themselves in really honorable, appropriate ways.
Eric Holder -
I'm a 21st century guy, secure in who I am.
Eric Holder -
I was raised - professionally - in the Public Integrity Section. I started in 1976, stayed there for 12 years. It was formed after Watergate by then-head of the Criminal Division Dick Thornburgh, who ultimately became Attorney General.
Eric Holder -
If you want to call me an activist attorney general, I will proudly accept that label.
