Acting Attorney General Sally Yates has told Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees, according to sources familiar with the order.
The move sets up a dramatic clash between the White House and Yates, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and is set to serve until Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump's nominee for attorney general, is confirmed.

Fire her
As usual, they’ve declared war on us and our leaders won’t fight.
I would say Trump’s people are compiling a list of Real Lawyers to repopulate the DOJ anyway
She didn’t know about the transfer of power on Jan. 20?
I would say she knows her days are numbered and is raising all the hell she can, as a typical lefty.
Sessions cannot get there quick enough. The whole place needs to be gutted right down to the janitorial staff, fumigated, & restocked with loyalists.
A portion of our leaders are siding with Democrats.
CNN=Fake News.
Don’t believe it until/unless it’s verified by Trump himself.
Drain the swamp
It's NOT her call!
Fire her and appoint your own interim AG.
Let me guess, McCain, Ryan, Graham and McConnell. I’m telling you we need to dig deep on these guys and minimize their damage.
Hell YES; fire every single one of ‘em; en mass. After all, Clinton did just that.
Won’t last 24 hours.
You forgot “LITTLE MARCO”, the HUGE RINO.
Fire the damned bitch and do it NOW!

Absolutely! Trump need not wait for Sessions’ confirmation. He is the “Boss,” the CEO, the Chief Executive. He needs to show her the door ASAP.
It would have been wiser for Pres Trump to wait until after Sen. Sessions was approved as AG before doing the travel ban. Now Obama’s second in command at the Justice Dept. is refusing to defend the President’s EO against the numerous suits filed against it. And McConnell better bite the bullet and rescue this nomination with the nuclear option because the Democrats will block Sessions otherwise.
Can an acting AG be replaced by executive order of the incoming POTUS ???
I’m worried about the deep state that is in opposition to the President. I don’t see any resolution to this problem that does not result in more authoritarianism.
