"President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Monday night, just hours after she announced the Justice Department would not defend Trump’s executive order temporarily banning all refugees, as well as citizens, from seven Muslim-majority nations. Yates had written a memo saying, quote, "I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right. I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful." Yates had served in the Justice Department for 27 years."
The White House accused Ms. Yates of betraying the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order which she believes to be unconstitutional. So he fired her??? She was told that it is time to get serious about protecting the citizens of the Unite States.
So get serious about it Mr. President. How about trying diplomacy instead of aggression? Invading countries to protect the interests of the USA hasn't worked so well in the past has it? As a normal citizen I ask you, when will this worsening spiral of violence stop?? What role has the USA's foreign policies played in creating the Taliban and ISIS? I am so sick of this cheap political rhetoric and wish just for once, we could get an honest answer out of Washington.
Berlin out.
