This is an Obama lawyer. She is a patriot following the Constitution. There are no Republican lawyers hired by nominee Sessions who would act in a patriotic fashion.
Mike Pence criticized a Muslim ban

One month before the election, Mike Pence told us that Trump did not want a Muslim ban

Mitch McConnell said the ban was unAmerican

Paul Ryan said he would sue Trump if a Muslim ban was put in place.

Republicans are lying cowards

This is obviously a slight delay, nothing more. Except for the fact that she's standing up for what's right and can hold her head high (while making me smile at the idea of Trumps head exploding).

Anything that slows down the madness is a good thing.

Sometimes some people do the right things for the rights reasons, and Wikipedia, even history, recognizes it. Not always, but its still the right thing to do.

Yates was just fired.

Off topic but hilarious. Gregg Phillips, Trump's expert on voter fraud, is registered in three states, Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi. The clown car keeps rolling.

Donald trump will go down as the most vilified and ignorant, (and possibly the only US Presidential Russian Agent -- that is, if he gets caught. I have no doubt that he is, in fact a Russian Agent as a result of blackmail). Plus all of his advisors who are Russian Lobbyists.
he will be a permanent stain on our country. The GOP made it happen, but I have no confidence that they will suffer the consequences because as long as the GOP can continue to foment hatred and also to ignite fear they will be able to get the rubes to vote for them, because they would rather make their enemies suffer than to make themselves happy. ---- The very definition of losers.

Melania is a Russian agent
The head of ICE has been fired. Confirmed by Lawrence O Donnell on MSNBC

No reason given.
Edit to add:
Sessions committee vote is scheduled for tomorrow.

GOTCHA of SESSIONS, by a lowly "occasional blogger's" tweet and republished by none other than
THE NEW YORK POST! Nice video, currently just broadcast on CNN as well.
Jeff Sessions asked former acting AG if she would say ‘no’ to president

Great catch. Amazing.
Unfortunately, everyone seems to get caught by the great web of hypocrisy.
But still, a wonderful catch, in part because one didn't have to go back into ancient history to find or apply it.
by Peter Schwartz on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 10:32am
Everyone caught in hypocrisy? Or just SOP with Republicans?
And 'ancient history' meaning anything from yesterday on back a ways?
by NCD on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 2:50pm
I'm sure this will come up in the hearing
by Michael Wolraich on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 1:53pm
Though to no particular avail.
by barefooted on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 2:04pm
I thought the hearings were over and today was vote day. Or do they get to ask more when it goes to the full Senate?
by CVille Dem on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 2:12pm
side topic: I note the New York Post has removed all evidence that this came from a tweet by that blogger and now just present the video as their own find. Boo. You give up claims to plagiarism if you want viral, I guess? For the greater good...
He is @ Twitter T. R. Ramachandran and his blog is http://electionado.com/
by artappraiser on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 3:33pm
Actually think it was Gaba that Ramachandran retweeted:

ok, good, my bad and Gaba's also good for crediting @ staffer news.

A bipartisan group of 60 former federal prosecutors is backing Yates -
"Struck by one stunning headline after another, we stopped to think: If we were called upon to defend the executive order, could we do it within the guidelines we learned and lived by as lawyers for the United States? We could not," the letter said.
by barefooted on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 5:41pm
I love it.
P.S. Comes to mind Yates will have no problem with reputation for the rest of her life, the Sessions confirmation question is like a golden parachute. Wish everyone were so lucky when they did right.
by artappraiser on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 5:57pm
And she's a relatively young woman, so with this on her now very public resume there will be very few doors she won't be able to open. At least among those she would choose.
by barefooted on Tue, 01/31/2017 - 6:04pm
In fact, knowing that whomever trump gets through as AG would fire her, she went out in a blaze of glory. Yes, it took guts, but she absolutely will benefit from it. GOOD FOR HER!!!!!!!
