Wall Street Jounal ^ | 1/30/2017 | Delvin Barrett

Posted on 01/30/2017 4:18:50 PM PST by scooby321

The acting attorney general on Monday ordered Justice Department lawyers not to defend President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending immigration from seven majority Muslim countries—a remarkable move that will likely lead to a showdown between the incoming Republican White House and the holdover appointee from the Obama administration.

McConnell needs to bring Senator Sessions to an immediate vote. Zero tolerance for this BS.

Yates and her staff and assistants and lieutenants etc must be shown the exit.

First, we need Sessions right away (he will have questions, one assumes.)

It’s going to be outrage theater for the next 4 years. Better get used to it.

Or inventory the pencils in Foggy Bottom. She wants to get fired so the Dims have another act of outrage theater.

Let us give them so much fuel for their outrage theater that they blow a gasket.

If you make enough scandals, individual scandals become too trivial to milk for publicity.

I am afraid they are all still Obamaites at the DO(in)J. Trump hasn’t had time to replace those sycophants with good attorneys who care about the Laws of the land.

I would expect there to be no chance of a default judgement, right?

Actually she HAS to stop them from defending it.

If it goes to court and wins (which it will) then Trump wins.

If it goes to courts with Obama planted judges (which is what they’d normally want) the immigration power of the executive office gets watered down and the states regain control. Trump sort of loses - but wins ground for states to block the feds from willy nilly importing immigrants whenever it suits their political needs.

Fire this affirmative-action hire...fire her now. Let’s really inflame these LIB lunatics...then arrest them (if they break laws).

Like almost all liberal/socialist/progressive/dimocrats they think no father than 30 seconds beyond now when they virtue signal one and another.

Sally Yates needs to come to work tomorrow and find every personal item in her office on the floor outside the locked door of her office. Her electronic keys expire at 1045 AM.

She can expect no favorable recommendations from the DOJ - much like Hillary got at the end of Watergate.

Further, what legal firm would want to hire an attorney that decides that her personal views override established law?

The debate on Sessions is tomorrow

Which is why this traitor pulled this crap tonight. I have no doubt she is in coordination with Schumer or other rats in an attempt to derail Sessions.

Trump will use whatever power he has to make the AG understand her role as AG.
