Congressman Robert Pittenger’s Statement On Lawsuit Filed Against HB2

CONGRESSMAN PITTENGER’S REACTION TO OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LAWSUIT AGAINST NORTH CAROLINA

CHARLOTTE – Congressman Robert Pittenger (NC-09) had this reaction to Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s announcement of an Obama Administration lawsuit against North Carolina:

“Today, President Obama and Attorney General Lynch proudly announced they will defy the Constitution’s careful separation of powers by creating a new law via press conference rather than legislative process. President Obama took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. Why does he refuse to follow it?”
