Also, the only after-action report you’re going to get is “We got unbelievable amounts of intelligence.”

“I am very curious here” = “I ignored the parts of the article I didn’t want to hear”

I’ve read 3 scenarios: it was planned months ago and Obama didn’t want to go ahead with it. Obama wanted to leave it up to Trump (seems odd, so I don’t think that was it). And what you said. Plus, I’ve read the “rumor has it” Trump didn’t bother with gathering the necessary intelligence, which sounds like him given he…

Why does the president have to give the final word if not to be the person to hold responsibility for? Let me know what your dictionary says about “commander in chief”. Seems like you’re one of the guys who likes to hold accountable/blame his tools or underlings for your own responsibilities.

Actually firing an AG who refuses to obey an executive order is very normal.

BRING ON HER LAWSUIT. Seriously, this could be the one the ACLU needs.

Yeah, way to end your career at the DOJ on a high note, Sally. Instead of serving as interim AG and then being fizzled out and forgotten, we all now know who she is and think she’s a hero.

Well it never would have come to that because Obama actually consulted his Attorney General and State Department to make sure what he was doing is within the bounds of the Constitution. How can you think this is normal?

I just heard about her refusing to go along with this madness on NPR this evening on Indivisible.

How many of us have been fired for doing exactly that?

The ACLU should hire her tonight!

She has the most honourable “how I got fired” story ever.

YES! STOP NEEDING A POLITICAL CRUSH AND START NEEDING THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER.

Dissent is patriotic. This is a democracy. Sorry, Mr. Trump and the sfgate Konservative Klowns posting on this board; the United States is not your personal enterprise. We are a multi tiered democracy, right down to the citizenry.

Sally Yates wasn’t fired because she was “weak” on border security.

This is some serious dictator shit. Everything he has done and said in the past week has been some SERIOUS dictator shit.

When they do that, they get fired. Apparently.

It would be great if our checks and balances started checking and balancing anytime now
