Yeah...that's why his agenda is in the courts right now, right?There's nothing unlawful about supporting the president's agenda.She has the obligation to not carry out unlawful orders, which was covered in the hearing.Lib please, President Trump fired Yates for refusing to do her job and defying her boss.

You are absolutely correct and this is true of every lawyer in the nation. If a lawyer does not want to represent a client, or a position the ONLY option open to that lawyer is to resign.She has the obligation to not carry out unlawful orders, which was covered in the hearing.Lib please, President Trump fired Yates for refusing to do her job and defying her boss.
WRONG she could/should have resigned, she did not have the authority to defy the president's EO that had been reviewed and deemed lawful by his general counsel by the way. She's not a court, she's not the goddamn SCOTUS, she does not have that authority.
When president Trump talked about lawlessness during the campaign, well this is an example.
Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates testified to a Senate subcommittee Monday that she had evidence that Michael Flynn was compromised and “could be blackmailed” by Russia.
That information has been previously reported in the course of multiple investigations into the Trump team’s ties to Russia. What was not known until now is that on the very day Yates invited the White House to review the evidence she had on Flynn, she was removed from her position at the Department of Justice.

YATES: We told them that we were inclined to allow them to look at that underlying evidence, that we wanted to go back to DOJ and be able to make the logistical arrangements for that. This second meeting on the 27th [of January] occurred late in the afternoon, this is Friday the 27th. So, we told them that we would work with the FBI over the weekend on this issue and get back with him on Monday morning. And I called him first thing Monday morning to let him know that we would allow them to come over and to review the underlying evidence.
WHITEHOUSE: And was that the phone call, or was there a separate phone call?
YATES: There was the phone call initially to let him know I needed to come see him —
WHITEHOUSE: Yup.
YATES: — two meetings, and then a phone call at the end to let him know —
WHITEHOUSE: That the material was available if he wanted to see it?
YATES: — that the material was available. He had to call me back, he was not available then, and I did not hear back from him until that afternoon of Monday the 30th.
WHITEHOUSE: And that was the end of this episode? Nobody came over to look the at the material?
YATES: I don’t know what happened after that because that was my last day with DOJ.
WHITEHOUSE: Got it.
Yates’ firing also occurred on the same day she sent a letter to Justice Department lawyers saying Trump’s Muslim ban was unlawful.
The Trump administration initially tried to prevent Yates’ testimony, arguing that executive privilege barred her from testifying to Congress, but the public outcry for her views led to Yates agreeing to testify.
Yates raised her concerns with the Trump team via two meetings with White House Counsel Don McGahn and a phone call with him as well.
Yates first warned the Trump team about Flynn’s problems on January 26, but Flynn was not fired until 18 days later, after news reports revealed that Flynn had made contact with Russian elements.
Evidence of what? Another non-story. Well done.Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates testified to a Senate subcommittee Monday that she had evidence that Michael Flynn was compromised and “could be blackmailed” by Russia.

There is if the President issues something which is against the Constitution...
since you didn't know this pretty basic fact the rest of contribution to this thread has to be clouded in the fact your a novice on the whole subject...
I my personal advice for you is to keep quite and you might learn something and be less foolish tomorrow.

Sally Yates is a douche bag like you, so it's no wonder you think she's presidential material.Sally Yates is presidential material. President Yates has a nice ring to it.
Dude, you post some of the most blatant intentionally dishonest posts I have ever read.
So, what was the point of calling her "bitch"?
Were you trying to advertise your epsilon-male status?

She does not have the authority to make that ruling you halfwit. Her only option would be to resign, rather than carry out the president's orders. That would have been the professional thing to do if she felt that strongly about it.
For a guy who complains how the Government works you haven't a clue how it works...
