QUOTES TO NOTE

Editor’s note: From all of Greg Abbott’s lawsuits to the rejection of the state voter ID law, these are among our favorite quotes from the break.

“Don’t think I let the day go by without another lawsuit against the Federal Gov’t. One coming any minute.” — Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on his latest lawsuit against the federal government, according to his Twitter account. On Friday, Abbott led legal action because the federal government cut o funding for Texas’ Women’s Health Program a er the state promised to exclude clinics a liated with abor- tion providers from the program.

“For the Department of Justice to now contend that Texas cannot implement its voter ID law de- nies Texas the ability to do what other states can rightfully exercise under the Constitution.” — Abbott on the Voting Rights Act, which calls for pre-clearance of changes to election laws in states with a history of voter discrimination, according to a press release.
