"...Mr. Trump has the authority to fire Ms. Yates, but as the top Senate-confirmed official at the Justice Department, she is the only one authorized to sign foreign surveillance warrants, an essential function at the department....
Let me pass on a valuable bit of wisdom I learned at my first job where I paid Social Security Taxes & Income Taxes - my Boss (in reply to some compliment I paid him) said "Everyone has a Boss and nobody is "Indispensable". Turns out he was right and it was great advise.
It's a wild guess on my part - But I'm guessing this 'acting' person doesn't Outrank the President of the United States and I just bet that HE has the "authority" to sign ANY Foreign surveillance warrant he pleases.
This idiot Yates and her "anti-Trump" business goes a long way to explain why there were 15 Attorneys for the CAIR/ACLU case (New York) for the plaintiffs and not a single Attorney showed up in Court to defend the Executive Order of the President of the Untied States.
This woman is an IDIOT and I hope she enjoys her "Walk-Out".
CNN is reporting that the Acting Head of the Justice Dept just announced that she has instructed the department not to defend Trump's EO banning Muslims from entering the US. Stunning.
That's nice, but he's not banning Muslims. There is no mention in Trump's EO of "Muslims." If there is, cite where.
I believe her democratic affiliation has a lot to do with this decision. If she has any plans for future involvement in the polical field her career is done if she followed through with the EO. Another side to the coin is she knows her days are numbered anyway when Jeff Sessions takes over and doesn't want to do the "Dirty Work"
This whole thing really makes the Democrats look bad. It shows they support terrorists (George Soros is funding the anti-terrorist ) and would do nothing t prevent them
I think she made the best decision given her options. She is in a catch 22 situation. As a lawyer and politician, she's better off doing what she did and wait for the axe to fall. She'll be better off in the long run. Getting fired under such circumstances isn't a bad thing... it means you are willing to stand up for your convictions.
Its not like in the public sector where you convictions don't always matter....

What do you expect from Obama left overs? They are not going to have their jobs when Sessions is approved.
If this is a Muslim ban, why aren't the biggest Muslim countries included in the ban? They are not.
This Muslim ban narrative is so stupid.
Because Mr T is in bed with a lot of the countries he excluded......business deals and friendly relationships. If he were truly interested in keeping "terrorists" out of America, he would have gone after the countries that sent the 9-11, San Bernadino, and Texas murderers here. He did this as a show to his followers, while not offending the countries where he needs to keep a good relationship.
Classic Donald Trump.
