President Trump’s Executive Order regarding a temporary halt on immigration from seven countries has thrown everyone’s knickers into a twist. One who should’ve known better, acting Attorney General Sally Yates, decided to step way out of her lane.

“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.”

“At present,” she added, “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.”

You can read the rest here and here. Did you notice something? Her statement wasn’t about the DOJ, the Constitution or the rule of law. Instead it was about HER opinion on what the law should be, not what the law IS. And therein is the problem. In the Executive Branch, the President and the Constitution have the power, officials such as Sally do not. Sally Yates had a choice, enforce the Executive Order or resign. Blatant insubordination was never an option.
