Good grovel before me peasantHe's spent his whole life robbing from and avoiding the peasantry, now he gets to use them as his playthings.You almost have to feel bad for Trump, having to deal with this shitstorm he's created. He's never had to worry about anything in his entire life, and now here he is.Wow, many experts didn't expect this. This won't help morale at the Justice Department.
Just heard it on MSNBC. No link yet...
I suspect he's having the most fun ever in his life.
And we have you to thank for it.
In the White House statement, it says Sally Yates "betrayed the Dept. of Justice".
Of course, that's such a huge load of bullshit because defending the constitution is never a betrayal.
Please name verbatim what part of the Constitution was betrayed?
Just read the 1st Amendment.
Where are these so-called brilliant negotiating skills of his?
He is negotiating your destruction as a political influence.
Is this what "sane" Americans want?

His Muslim ban is not only a stupid Executive Order, it's indefensible in court. Just like how the Trump administration had no defense when they faced the judge the other night. This EO will never stand, so let a Trump AG wage the losing case.
Wrong. The Justice dept ruled on the legality of the EO.

Ms. Yates’s decision effectively overruled a finding by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which had already approved the executive order “with respect to form and legality.”
Ms. Yates said her determination in deciding not to defend the order was broader, however, and included questions not only about the order’s lawfulness, but also whether it was a “wise or just” policy. She also alluded to unspecified statements that the White House had made before signing the order, which she factored into her review.
She didn't care about the law, she "decided" the policy wasn't wise or just. When she becomes president, she can have that say, until then...

True. But given the circumstances, and depending on the political leanings of those making the decisions, the ex-AG might be able to argue that she was wrongfully terminated.You don't necessarily qualify for unemployment if you are fired.But, most places don't pay unemployment as soon if you resign. Getting fired will ensure her unemployment checks will start almost immediately.Well ... the job of the AG is to represent the United States.I totally expected it. She's an Obama appointee and refused to defend the Muslim ban. The ban is going to be challenged in court, and it is the AG's job to defend the Administration. Since she said she would not, I would have been surprised if she wasn't fired.Wow, many experts didn't expect this. Dana Boente to replace her. This won't help morale at the Justice Department.

This would certainly not be the first time that the AG didn't choose to defend something the government enacted.
The AG is there to give council on stuff like this before it happens. A key part of the problem here is that the administration totally forked over the execution, ignoring the law, failing to think through issues such as green cards, residency, etc., and failing to communicate, leaving those executing the plan to do really stupid illegal stuff, like refusing to allow access to attorneys, ridiculous detention, etc.
Frankly, she probably should have resigned.

It's what happens when an interim political appointee of the previous regime within the Executive Branch openly breaks ranks with the new President.BREAKING NEWS: Trump fires acting Attorney General Sally Yates
Hit the road bitch and don't ya come back no mo no mo no mo no mo, hit the road bitch.............
The AG's job is to enforce the law and defend the Constitution.
Fastest way to get fired - tell the President you won't enforce the law or obey his orders!
Buh-bye!!!!
