Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law -- which is only 10 pages long.
"I have not had a chance to -- I've glanced at it," Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants.
Holder told reporters last month that he fears the new law is subject to abuse and that the Justice Department and the Homeland Security Department are in the midst of conducting a review.
Holder said last month that a number of options are under consideration, including the possibility of a court challenge.
On Thursday, Holder said he plans to read the law before reaching a decision on whether he thinks it's constitutional.
What a tool!
