A strong, principled woman was fired

[boston bean]

for being right about the unconstitutionality of the muslim ban EO and taking a stand because it went against American principles, by allowing discrimination.

Sally Yates, YOU are an American HERO. YOU are vindicated. You WERE RIGHT!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. Sing it, sister!!!!

[shenmue]

2. ...

[LiberalLoner]

3. +1

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. I assume she will get a good job at one of the

adult law firms.

[panader0]

5. Yup

It seems that she may have some legal recourse now that the ninth circuit
has ruled her to be correct.

[bdamomma]

6. the truth will prevail.

[Initech]

7. While an evil, horrid woman who has no experience whatsoever gets hired.

WTF man... the system has failed us.

[Skittles]

29. while an evil, horrid man who has no experience whatsoever.....is president

[Caliman73]

8. No Doubt!!

We need to make sure she has a place in our history books as one of the first brave people who stood up for American values and the Constitution.

[Blue_true]

12. She will be remembered on the high plain that Elliot Richardson and Archibald Cox

Are remembered, not a bad place to be history wise.

[sheshe2]

9. K&R

[ismnotwasm]

10. K&R

[democratisphere]

11. Only criminals need apply to this administration.

[hamsterjill]

13. I was so proud of her for standing up!

I think she knew what her fate was going to be, and her principles were more important to her. I'm sure she wanted out anyway. Who wouldn't???

I am certain she will look back on this as the best decision of her life. She has my thanks as an American citizen for doing what is right.

14. Yates for Congress

We could use another smart, strong woman in Congress. She's from Georgia, and it would be great to knock off any one of their Republican representatives in 2018. Then the Senate in 2020!

[boston bean]

16. Sounds good to me!!

[Dulcinea]

25. There are rumors...

...that she may run for Tom Price's old seat. I hope so!

[CousinIT]

15. They often are. n/t

[mgardener]

17. Anybody else notice

That Republicans have gone after 2 women in as many weeks doing the same things that they have done at some point?
Not smart!

[niyad]

28. yes, we have.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Absolutely

And, she was going to get released anyway since she was an Obama appointee. So, she went out with class and an obvious knowledge of the law. She was obligated to ignore an unconstitutional order and she did. Good for her.

[BSdetect]

19. Surely grounds for wrongful dismissal?

If so, sue that turd.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

33. She served at the pleasure of the last president.

and was going to lose her position, anyway. Frankly, I'm not quite sure why she is considered so brave since she had nothing to lose. She's actually better known now than she was then, so her stand was very likely a good thing for her career!

[Kingofalldems]

36. That attack was multi layered, TexasMommaWithAHat.

Looks like it could have come from Sean Spicer as an example.

I find her to be a courageous Democrat.

[flying-skeleton]

20. I hope she runs for A House or Senate seat

[LittleGirl]

21. Can she sue for wrongful termination?

against the government? Serious question!

[Honeycombe8]

26. Maybe, but not worth it?

Don't know if she has the right, but it wouldn't be worth it, would it? She was going to be replaced, anyway, as soon as 45's nominee was confirmed.

She no doubt knew she'd be unceremoniously removed, after refusing to obey 45. She's now a hero and martyr....and she did the right thing and is on the right side of the law and history. Not too shabby.

She has a bright future, I'd say!

[fishwax]

22. A principled public servant taking a principled and courageous stand

[Phentex]

23. And the ass used words like betrayal!

When what she was doing WAS HER JOB! She is owed a formal apology but we know that will never happen.

[bullwinkle428]

24. In a thread last night, someone posed the question, "Where can she

get her reputation back?", and my immediate thought was that there never even the slightest hint of tarnish to her reputation regarding her termination by the Meat Goblin. She stood up for principles, which only enhanced it. This is merely confirmation.

K&R.

[boston bean]

27. Yep. Agree.

[brer cat]

30. +1

[barbtries]

31. not only was she right,

she did the right thing. i'm confident she'll land on her feet and end up better off than before.

[LakeArenal]

32. Principles?

They don't need no stinkin' principles.

[Lucky Luciano]

34. IM with Yates. nt

[smirkymonkey]

35. K&R

[PatrickforO]

37. Indeed.

[keepthemhonestO]

38. news

is happening so fast these days you can barely keep up. This deserves to be talked about for a years, not just four hours. Glad you brought it back to the forefront. Wasn't that just last friday or am I getting turned around.

[kentuck]

39. She should run for President.

She has the courage to win.

[Mike Nelson]

40. I see her...

...returning somewhere, somehow. Thank you, Sally Yates!
