The Relativist denies the existence of the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God

Precisely. Moreover, liberals defend Islam because they believe to not do so would lend legitimacy to the truth of Judeo-Christianity. And that, they cannot abide.

I predict Yates will run for Public office as a Dem. in 2018. She has been setting the table for that before she was fired as AG.

OUT-OF-CONTROL executive branch v. CONgre$$? Why pay them?

ZERO checks and balances. UNIPARTY kabuki.

NO representation.

He was the only one to challenge her in any substantive way. She should have been called out for the political hack that she is. She not only acted in the role of the Supreme Court she also acted in the role of Justice Department Psychic when she looked at the “intent” of President Trump in writing the order. That's outrageous and its a point she kept going back to. She stated she didn't just look at the Executive Order on its face she discerned the true intent of Donald Trump based on campaign speeches. They should have crushed her over that. Someone should have asked her if she has used her magical powers to ever look into the constitutionality of other laws by looking into the intent of Obama, Pelosi or anyone else involved in creating the law.

well, I would guess, after today’s testimony, that the proper thing to have done, and to do now, is to enforce the order.

Congress and the Executive branches are equal and each may cancel the other out. Both make law. But the judiciary’s power is limited to deciding cases. To decide a case, due process applies. That all of the countries named were also singled out by Obama, and entry to the USA from those countries was made more difficult under the previous admin, which was also under Yates watch, who raised no issue, and that there was no law from Congress contrary to Trump’s order, Yates’ refusal to continue to restrict travel, in essence, lifting the Obama restrictions in the process, seems like a summary judgement was made without benefit of due process or Congressional authority. But what do I know?

It's not over. Graham is going after who requested the unmasking and Clapper directed him to the proper source.

Perhaps little Miss Sally doesn't think she's in a spider web...but she is.

I do not believe Clapper was pleased with her oratory.

She may apprear brave....but I think she's scared sh**less. Suicide would not surprise me.

Why wouldn't she name Rice (or whomever it was) as her companion in all this? Was she threatened?

Never heard anyone ask this question about the travel ban.
Are Christians and Muslims banned from these countries? All citizens of these countries are banned including Christians, right?

Agree. It was annoying to watch her wait until Clapper answered before she answered the same. I don't think she is clever or courageous......just another sycophant, lying to protect her own rear end. Just a younger Lois Lerner, if you will. I would like to see all those who break the law held accountable. Democrats are RARELY held accountable. Get to the bottom of this, Republicans! Our LAWS do not include a 'get out of jail free' card for intent. Indict all those from the Obama Admin who have broken the law. NOW!

“...Liberals are just determined to get themselves killed aren’t they?...”

IF it were just liberals, I’d say give em the all the “bullets and knives” they want to just off themselves. Then stand back and watch the mass suicide.
Unfortunately, as info warrior pointed out, they’re damned determined to take all of us out with them, and I have a feeling a bunch of folks ain’t gonna let that happen.

Between the BLM and the student anarchists, the terrorist refugees and border sneaks, the communist educators, the kum baya liberals, and the LGBT freaks, all hell is gonna break loose here in our great country...

No one else is to blame but we have allowed this BS to go on and on...

btw, where did Townhall get that pic of Kennedy? because someone airbrushed lipstick on him. His lips were never that ‘red’ during the questioning.

She is a Democrat and that is all she needs. The Republicans would rather surrender than fight for America.

While in the Navy, I challenged the orders of my superiors many times. Each and every time, whether the boss was an O-2 or an O-7, that challenge occurred behind closed doors.

Yates knew she was about to be fired anyway, and used the opportunity to grandstand, attack the President and put herself in the spotlight.

I will look it up and give it a read. Thanks for the heads up on it.

Just like all lib decisions, the decision was based on personal feelings, not law or policy.

You know what I call BLM, student anarchists, the terrorist refugees, border sneaks, communist educators, kum baya liberals, and LGBT freaks loose in our country?

A target rich environment for a CWII with no rules of engagement.

The 17th Amendment enabled Roe and so many other outrages from scotus. To restore the 10A, repeal the 17th.
