After eight long years of a lawless Obama Department of Justice, it is fitting--and sad--that the very last act of the Obama DOJ is for the Acting AG to defy the newly elected President, refuse to enforce the law, and force the President to fire her. Sally Yates now joins the ignominious succession, from Eric Holder to Loretta Lynch, of Attorneys General who put brazen partisan interests above fidelity to law.
President Trump was exactly right to fire an acting Attorney General who refused to carry out her constitutional duty to enforce and defend the law. Yates’ lawless partisanship highlights why the Senate needs to act now--and Senate Democrats should end their extreme political obstruction and delay--and confirm Jeff Sessions immediately. America needs and deserves an Attorney General who will be faithful to the Constitution and uphold the law.

Yes, if her seat is the crapper she died on.
Wow, there is someone who is willing to put his name on the line. Thanks, Senator Ted Cruz.
Maybe Glen Beck broke up with him?
You’re pretty much at the disruptor level when it comes to anything where Ted Cruz is mentioned.
The new AG should hold Yates, Lynch, Holder and 0bama as accomplices to the crimes they looked away from and became accomplices. Some they clearly coordinated things like Fast and Furious. Mass murder is death penalty. I am good with that.
PFL
Good for Ted.
Now that he can say “President Trump” without grimacing, all is fogprgiven...
Yates will now become a martyr for the democrats.
Heck, she’ll be getting some very cushy job offers, from either the liberal media or some democratic funding organization or with the democratic party operation itself.
In 3 years, she’ll be called the best candidate against Trump for the democrats. Let’s see... liberal: check, anti-Trump: check, defied Trump: check, former acting AG: check, female: check, supports Obama’s agenda: check, not as ugly as Hillary: check...
Perfect! Yates in 2020.
Let bygones be bygones. Thanks Ted.
“he would be a good pick for Ginsberg seat..really piss the libs off by putting cruz into that seat.”
That is a delicious thought! :)
Cruz has got behind President Trump's agenda. He's an ally, not like Mclame or Gramnesty.
Bravo Ted! You are doing the people’s work.
True statement. Hope Sen. Cruz eventually ends up on the SCOTUS.
I still wonder just what the deal is with Cruz’ wife’s position with the CFR.
Ted Cruz has been standing up to liberals and liberalism like this for many years. We need more like him.
At least he’s backing him, which is more than I can say for several Rino NeverTrumpers. I don’t care what his reasons, I’m just glad he backed him.
Ted chose... wisely.
Forgetting for the moment that she was refusing to enforce the law, Yate's position on the issue is supported by only 33% of voters.
Yes, she's perfect for the Democrats all right.
