”Do you think the U.S. Attorney General has a responsibility to say no to the president if he asks for something that is improper?,” asked Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions (R-Alabama) in 2015.

“I believe they have an obligation to follow the law and the Constitution,” replied U.S. Deputy Attorney General nominee Sally Q. Yates.

She did resist orders to violate the Constitution, and was fired for her commitment to uphold the rule of law by Trump, whose behavior is ever more erratic and illogical.

Trump apparently personally fired Yates on Monday for refusing to defend his regime’s ‘sneak attack’ ethnically targeted travel ban. Yates did so because of Trump’s repeated racist comments about Muslim people, according to reports.
