Eric Holder: I'm an activist, it's my responsibility to change things

Attorney General Eric Holder says he is proud to be called an “activist,” adding also that he views it as his job as the nation’s top law enforcement official to “change things.”

“If you want to call me an activist attorney general, I will proudly accept that label,” he said in an interview published in The Hill. “Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. The responsibility of the attorney general is to change things [and] bring us closer to the ideals expressed in our founding documents.”
