WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, ordered the Justice Department on Monday not to defend President Trump’s executive order on immigration in court.
“I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right,” Ms. Yates wrote in a letter to Justice Department lawyers. “At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.”

The communists in FEDGOV need to FEAR what the right will do if they pull stunts like this.
The communists in FEDGOV right now have ZERO fear.
Pussyfooting around with these degenerate animals isn’t going to get the job done.
Heads need to roll.
The communists will destroy Trump if he does not go all Pinochet on them.
Guaranteed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It’s beginning to look like there is a massive conspiracy of ‘rats and rinos in Congress, working in coordination with the news media, Communists, Muslims, and other organizations of Marxists in the country, such as the ACLU, the SPLC, NAACP, BLM, etc. to destroy the Trump Presidency.
You got it.
Just let her spout nothings. Justice Dept. attorneys cannot break the law of the land.
Find her breaking the law and remove the pension.

This crap lands at the feet of the Republicans in the Senate! Do nothing indeed
This acting AG should be the first Trump calls in and says "You're Fired"!
Don't see they're not doing anything. They went on a two day vacation I mean junket uh retreat to Philadelphia to uh discuss things.
“This crap lands at the feet of the Republicans in the Senate! Do nothing indeed”
If Harry Reid was in McConnell’s shoes as leader of the Senate, his party’s president’s nominees would have been approved by now. He would use every trick and maneuver in the book as well as some he made up along the way. Plus he would have been on television every night disparaging his opposition.
I remember when the Republicans said, give us a majority in the House and we’ll block the Obama agenda. In 2010 the American people gave them the majority and they caved.
In 2014 the GOP said give us a majority in the Senate, in addition to a majority in the House, and we’ll block the Obama agenda. The American people gave them a majority in both houses. They caved.
In 2016 the GOP said give us both houses of Congress, and the presidency, we’ll advance the conservative agenda. The American people gave them what they asked for the and Republicans in the legislative branch immediately joined with the Democrats to pull the rug from under the GOP president.
Question, is the GOP deserving of being the ruling party?
You want Trump to ban all political parties? Uh...
She should be in prison.
Mitch McConnell is an accomplise to the Dems. Replace him with someone with a backbone.
Fire her now.
The freak out over controlling immigration from terrorist havens is nothing short of amazing. Just a taste of the battle to come when the focus shifts to Mexico.
Trump will need a united party. Going to be a war.
Trump, ultimately, is the head of the Republican Party. He needs to slap them into shape.
Our immigration system has been so thoroughly abused over the past decade that it needs to be completely scrapped and rebuilt. Although it worked fine before Johnson "reformed" it.
I have to say, McConnell bought some political capitol with me by blocking Obama’s Garland. Cost me a steal dinner on a bet he’d cave on that one.
I want a flame thrower firing to these local US attorneys. I want them REMOVED POST HASTE. INDICT HILLARY!!
He should fire her anyway.
You do what's right. And when the media plays the Cox move, Trump should articulate the point, that the Yates circumstance isn't the Cox circumstance.
Seriously.
Exactly.
I thought the DOJ was supposed to be non political.
I asked Team Trump if they had a strategy:
“Stand by.”
