<p class="" style="margin-left:60px;font-family:georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, ordered the Justice Department on Monday not to defend President Trump’s executive order on immigration in court.

 

<p class="" style="margin-left:60px;font-family:georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">“I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right,” Ms. Yates wrote in a letter to Justice Department lawyers. “At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.”

Do you really believe this was a well thought out executive order? Does this feel like due diligence was performed?

Guessing she is ok with it. Won't be hard to find a firm to join. Kudos for having conviction and sticking up for what's right.

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the AG got canned within an hour of Solid Snake spewing his hot garbage all over this board.

"Mr. Trump has the authority to fire Ms. Yates, but as the top Senate-confirmed official at the Justice Department, she is the only one authorized to sign foreign surveillance warrants, an essential function at the department."


So basically he has put the whole country at risk since we will not be able sign a foreign surveillance warrant? The terrorists just won. Either he really doesn't know what he is doing or he is deliberately trying to weaken America.
Only a chump boos the home team!

Was he unnecessarily blocked the last time he couldn't get confirmed?
