You should look this up yourself but I do recall her using the word "unlawful".
It's past noon and I do need to get to work.

Fox news innbed, it was intended to be a Muslim ban. It's on record. Is it legal? I dunno, probably not. Is it ethical? No, but that difference never concerned the tyrant in the WH.

Trump may think he is being the great disrupter but these man-made and totally unnecessary crises will only lead to his downfall.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump fired the acting Attorney General, Sally Q. Yates, after learning that she had downloaded a copy of the United States Constitution to her computer, Trump told reporters on Monday night.

According to the Trump Administration’s code of ethics, established by Steve Bannon, a counsellor to the President, “possessing, reading, or referring to the United States Constitution” is a violation that is punishable by termination.

Suspecting that Yates was in breach of that rule, Bannon seized Yates’s computer at the Justice Department and discovered that she had secretly downloaded a complete copy of the 1789 document.

“Sally Yates was hatching a covert plot to require my actions to be in accordance with the Constitution,” Trump said. “We caught her red-handed.”

Trump said he hoped Yates’s firing would send Justice Department staffers the message that “if you are caught flagrantly obeying the Constitution, you will be out of here.”

“The American people deserve an Attorney General who will come to work every day ready to flout the Constitution, and in Jeff Sessions, they will have one,” he said.

Funny how republicans no longer care about the constitution......

Sally Yates was an Obama appointee.

Her days were numbered anyway simply by virtue of that.

She had nothing to lose.

So she used that situation to make a political statement.

It was hardly an act of courage as it's being played up to be.

If you don't like the direction this country is going, then just move the H**l out!! Seems to be the message!!!!

What effected me the most today was talking to a surprising number of people who like what Trump is doing. Like a strong man working hard and doing what he promised to do!

Every day so far new EO's, what is next? He can't go a single minute without the flash and awe of the media.

Gezz he needs a vacation! I know this country does....
