If you’re a leftist, now is a golden opportunity to establish one’s bona fides. Although they will claim that that’s what they’re risking, no one is going to the gulag or be faced with going on the Auschwitz diet just because Trump was elected.

These people and others of the same ilk like the BSM news reporting businesses are secretly ecstatic that they can now go into the full resist and ridicule mode against the Administration. They don’t have to hold back anything for fear of criticizing their guy or his policies: Leftist commentators and activists haven’t had it this good since Nixon and Watergate.

So give her what she wants, make it very public, lambast her for violating her oath to uphold US law,

So can she lose her license to practice law?

Seems to me that her insistence on not abiding by the law would constitute such conduct.

How many younger folks on this forum are busy googling Eddie Haskell right now? I always enjoyed that character.

I'm down with that!!!!

the bitch forgot the first rule

the first rule is that you don't make policy, you implement it

she forgot her place and has started to pay the price

I too would like to know if she can have further sanctions levied against her - losing her law license would be an excellent start

They're dropping like flies!

Finally a U.S. President with balls and backbone!

The lib-tards heads are both imploding and exploding tonight!!
Drain the swamp!!

Keep up the good job, Mr. President!

Nope. She committed no felony, violated, as far as we know, no rule of professional conduct.

Dispute and disagreement is the every day fact of life for attorneys. Opinions about legal issues are often split, uncertain. So no disbarment.

That said, if the boss says this is the policy, if you just can't go along, or convince him to go another way, you resign. You can't undermine, you can't refuse. Or be terminated.

He's not playing around. The liberals and the media are used to crying and getting their way, but he just doesn't care. Their typical playbook is out the window at this point.

Ms. Yates had to have known that the Office of Legal Counsel had approved the order as lawful, within the power of the President, etc.

For her to take it on herself to refuse to act is very courageous indeed.

I am glad the President is cleaning house and not putting up with any resistance, but within just the past year members here were bemoaning the fact that military officers, among others, weren’t resigning rather than implement the previous Administration’s policies. If a holdover from then can’t support a current order, at least I will give her credit for saying so and taking the consequences rather than hanging on and being an obstructionist. (Although as I posted above, I doubt the consequences will sting too much.)

And it's only Monday.

Of his second week.

I don't I have ever been excited about the political process.

Run this country like a business. The Constitution is your mandate.

Woot!

If you read her resume, you will see her future was assured, at least until this. She would have no problem whatsoever landing a position almost wherever she chose.

I have run out of thumbs and other appendages in which to show my support.

If she was truly "very courageous" as you stated she would have offered her resignation before she was fired.

Lets hope the dems keep it up. It makes it easier to rout them out and send them on their way.

I didn’t, so I’ll defer to your judgment, but I strongly doubt that this incident has blocked too many paths that she was interested in.

Here's a bit more on this firing from Stephen Miller. He explains it well. I'm quickly becoming a fan of his.

Courageous? More like insolence.
