She looked it over and decided she would not defend it and told her department the same. Trump fired her for it. In the big picture it does not matter because she was not going to be around much longer any way. Once Sessions is confirmed she was going to be out anyway. It's like knowing your gonna be laid off in two weeks and they let you go a week early.

Exactly, and it was another impulsive unforced error by the reckless Trump administration. All they had to to was appoint a counsel to defend the EO, and the acting AG would be gone as soon as Sessions is confirmed. Instead they once again make themselves look like idiots using sledgehammers to crack eggs.

Big hammers send messages. She went public by refusing to do her job. Trump countered publicly.

And it was the right choice. Any president would have done the same thing.

She said she couldn't defend the EO, that's not the first time that has happened in the AG's office, normal protocol is that you would assign counsel to defend the EO since the acting AG will be gone in a few weeks anyway. But this is just another example of a very inexperienced team making unforced errors by the hour, it will not work out well for them.

I wish Trump would get rid of Steve Bannon and bring someone on board like Mike Rogers (who Kushner got rid of) he would have given Trump far better advice than Bannon who admits being a "Leninist"

Humiliated? She stood up for her principles. She's a hero.

If anyone has been humiliated, it is probably Theresa May by groveling to Trump.

Check out what is happening at 10 Downing.
