President Donald Trump relieved acting Attorney General Sally Yates of her duties Monday night after she directed Justice Department attorneys not to defend Trump's controversial executive refugee and immigration ban.
Yates, a holdover from the Obama Administration, was replaced as acting attorney general by Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Yates had "betrayed the Justice Department" by refusing to enforce Trump's order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.

Dude looks like that transitional, castrated pseudo-male who clutched his pearls while his wife got them both kicked off the airplane last week.
‘Nuff said.

Good. I would have supported a similar action by Obama had his AG openly defied an EO.

That first sentence is very powerful.
I see Trump’s hand in that sentence.

Relieved of duties is not necessarily fired If you are a political appointee it is!

I was hoping and praying that Trump would do that. Fabulous!
Newt Gingrich tells how one of the Federal Courts rebelled against Pres. Jefferson, I believe it was. Rather than put up with that stuff, Jefferson vacated the court. Closed it down. The rebel court suddenly found itself unemployed. Newt wanted GWB to do that when the 9th Court went nuts several times, but George didn’t have the stones to do it. I hope some day Trump has occasion to do it; and DOES it.
