Our religious liberty was threatened by the Obama administration as part of the Obamacare law. I was in the courtroom when that law was, I think unjustly, held constitutional.
— Luther Strange
The Obamacare law has failed.
I was proud to cast my vote for President Trump.
The Second Amendment reflects the brilliance of our founders, who knew that no right is guaranteed unless we are willing to fight for it, and I remain committed to fighting for the rights of lawful gun owners as the senator for Alabama.
The Obama administration's EPA ruling to cut carbon emissions at power plants is a direct affront to workers in states like Alabama, which not only rely upon coal-fired plants to generate most of their electricity but are also home to thousands of coal industry jobs.
Shame on Congressman Brooks for his lack of faith in President Trump's and Attorney General Sessions' commitment to work together to make America great again.
Alabama and other states had a terrible record in terms of depriving people of their right to vote, making it difficult for them to vote, discriminating against people.
Climate change is not an excuse for the EPA to ignore the bounds of law and issue illegal regulations that will cost jobs, shutter industries, and have little to no positive impact on the environment.
Climate change is not an excuse to give the federal government ever more power over private property and state resources.
Under President Obama, we saw an unwarranted extension of amnesty programs which neglected the root of the illegal immigration crisis. We saw a troubling lack of urgency in addressing the sanctuary cities which subvert the rule of law.
I promised to carry on Jeff Session's legacy of fighting for the conservative values we believe in. I promised to help pass the Trump agenda and serve the people's interest, not the special interests. And I promised to help Donald Trump drain the swamp in Washington.
No one is arguing that the entire Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. Section 2 is the most important part of the act. It gives people the right to challenge discriminatory laws in court. It applies to the entire nation. It is constitutional, and it will continue to protect all Americans.
As Attorney General of Alabama, I have never hesitated to stand up to the EPA before when it was wrong.
Alabama has made great progress in proving that BP, Halliburton, and Transocean are liable for the devastating effects of the oil spill.
It is hard to imagine any single special interest trying to buy an office without a motive.
Exxon fought claims resulting from the Exxon Valdez spill in court for 20 years. Alabama could have suffered the same fate. What would be the benefit to the state or its coastal counties in delaying indefinitely the receipt of monies that we need sooner rather than later?
It's frustrating when people question your integrity.
To suggest that the President of the United States - the head of the free world, a man who is changing the world - is being manipulated by Mitch McConnell is insulting to the president.
Science has advanced a long way in the 44 years since Roe v. Wade, and it is time that our laws reflect the undeniable truth that life begins at fertilization and that unborn citizens are entitled to the same protections as every American.
I am confident that Jeff Sessions will do his part to restore the delicate balance between the states and the federal government that the Founders envisioned.
As a gun owner and sportsman, I am proud to join NRA members from across the country to make the voice of liberty heard.
We rely on the rule of law. I think we've lost touch with that concept in Washington.
When I was attorney general, we had the strongest public integrity unit in the country.
George Wallace is gone; Bull Connor is dead. He's not coming back.
Climate change is not an excuse to silence political speech.
Governing through federal ultimatum grates against our history, traditions, and, most importantly, our Constitution.
When President Trump and I arrived in Washington, there was a new sense that the crisis of illegal immigration would now be taken seriously.
What I see in Washington reminds me of what I saw in Montgomery when I was first elected Alabama's Attorney General. In Montgomery, corruption was the problem, so I assembled the finest public corruption prosecution team in the country. Their work wasn't always popular with the mainstream media or the local politicians. We didn't let that stop us.
Our farmers feed the world. They are up before dawn and work till well after sunset. They face any number of challenges they can't control, from too much rain to not enough, from disease to insect infestations.
Unfortunately, the Obama administration is more interested in furthering its political agenda than in following the law.
BP cannot undo a settlement it negotiated and signed just to avoid its consequences.
The BP settlement is good for Alabama, particularly Alabama's coastal region.
A job is the best cure for poverty, and that's why economic development and job creation has been my principle focus.
I have the utmost confidence in Sen. Sessions, now General Sessions.
The fault always lies in the candidate or the head coach or the guy holding the ball.
As I have said before, our society cannot be truly prosperous until it respects the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
I am very pleased with President Trump's selection of Judge Neil Gorsuch as his first appointee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The extremist agenda of the Obama administration is forcing unwarranted higher energy costs upon Americans and further threatening an already sluggish economic recovery.
As attorney general, I don't get to pick and choose the laws I like and don't like.
When my good friend Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump, that was good enough for me.
The Obama administration demonstrated time and again a disturbing willingness to bypass the separation of powers and disregard Congress as a Constitutional watchdog.
Debate about the causes and consequences of climate change and the policy positions taken in response to it should be encouraged, not silenced.
If the federal government can mandate what we have to spend our own money on, then the federal government can make us buy something even if we are morally opposed to paying for it.
I drafted and proposed a law to secure our borders and build the border wall - and make the sanctuary cities pay for it.
The people of Alabama are fed up. They are tired of politicians who lie to them, and they are sick of elected officials who've been in Washington so long they've forgotten why they ran in the first place.
Every day, the hard-working men and women of Alabama's Department of Environmental Management are on the ground, protecting Alabama's rivers and lakes in a way that is beneficial to all. EPA should support them in that work, not make it more difficult.
Stewardship of our air and water is a responsibility that should be free of the bias of politics. What's more, environmental regulators should abide by the law.
I simply apply the law fairly and equally to all our citizens.
The BP settlement is a victory for Alabama: not only for the amount of compensation we were able to secure, but also for avoiding many more years of litigation.
We want to make sure that we take care of people that most need healthcare, make sure they actually get healthcare instead of just an insurance policy that means they can't access the doctor they want.
