Acting Attorney General Orders Justice Dept. Not to Defend Trump’s Travel Ban
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 has long demonstrated that he is a traitor; why should he change now?

The Vacancy Act provides Sessions to be in his position for 210 days before Senate’s approval.

I want people to get one thing straight.

When they say our country is open to everyone... these refugees are NOT the “everyone”, “norm”, refugees. This is not the same as letting Europeans come here. This not like the past at all.

These refugees come from a place in the world that believe in killing anyone who they disagree with.... they strap a bomb on a little girl and set it off from afar, blowing up the little girl and everyone around her... they tear a woman apart for the slightest provocation.. they think up ways to torture ... to control.

Yes, there are some who are seeking a safe place... but we don’t know who is who.

The so called ‘compassion’ is weakness.

Being a good parent means you sometimes have to lay down some rules and hand out consequences... it’s easier to just let them do whatever... but it doesn’t turn out well. This country needs to live with rules, laws, and consequences. They are mad at the person who came in and fixed one thing after another... he put order in the day... and those who don’t recognize this... the snowflakes... the ugly rioting on the streets. Go ahead and throw your hissy fit... this might just save your life one day!

How in the world did we end up with a Justice department that does not enforce the law ? Why is she even working there ?

No, it actually says you can’t be acting if you were submitted for confirmation.

I think, ,reading the law, what they might be able to do is fire her, and then put someone else in — if I were trump, I’d see if there was a retired AG from a prior republican administration who would come back. Or maybe see if Rudy would serve for a while.

Sessions should have been stuffed up the left’s ass a long time ago! Sounds to me like we need some more purging in 2018. The real tea party must make themselves known, not the Koch bros version.

The “Nation of Immigrants” was created by those who came her to pursue, be part of, realize and demonstrate the American Dream.

This is not the case with those who come to destroy it and all who are part of it. So obvious.

Everything the Obama-Holder-Lynch DOJ did was treasonous. The fact that our d***less Congress let them get away with it, unfortunately, allowed a precedent to be set.
Now the leftovers think they can do anything with impunity.

It’s obvious but they are conveniently equating those who have come into our country, with this bunch of refugees. These want to overthrow our government.. want to take over our land.. want to make sharia law the law of the land and their god the god of the world.

I heard one well spoken man say if we go by the rule of letting them all in, where do you stop. There are many trying to come to America.. they would all come ashore and expect to be taken care of.

I do genealogy and in the years past, anyone coming here had to have a sponsor, a job waiting, a place to live, and there was no mention of giving them free health care and welfare. We have come a long way from doing this right. We have no record of all that have come to this country in the past many years. The 1940 census was recently released... there won’t be very many more of those.. the next one would be 1950.. and after that, I think the records would be non-existent. We have lost all that history because there were no rules nor laws followed... just flying by the seat of their britches.
