Good for her. Since her days were numbered anyway, going out in a blaze of glory defending the nation's laws ain't a bad way to go.

Maybe her example will give some Republicans a spine, but I doubt it.

C'mon, show how well you'll stand by your beliefs....

Somehow I bet you'll never do it just as most of those cheering this political hack won't..... Big talk when y'all have noting personal to lose...
Liberals are big blow hards, all talk no action.

True, she could have resigned, she would have been gone either way but she decided to take a stand rather than resign and leave this for another attorney. Evidently several states feel the same way and have filed suits, Microsoft and some other companies that have been impacted have also filed suit.

Microsoft claims they've been wronged?

Oh my, the irony!

Xerox is calling Bill Gates, they feel they were wronged!

What does Gates have to say for that?

Sorry, I had to be literal to your irony statement otherwise some of these kids may not catch on.

They have workers from many of these countries on the list.


I can just see Bannon saying, "Hey Donny I figured out a way we can get your Muslim ban going, just start out with these countries, they are already on the watch list and it won't impact any of the countries where you have properties. Who's going to say anything, we will just tell them we're protecting the country from terror, who's going to question that?"


Donny: It's a big beautiful thing Steve let's do it.

Sally refused to do her job. She presented no legal justification as to why, only her own moral sense. Similar orders were issued by Obama and she had no complaint. As such she represents a politicized bureaucrat in the DOJ, and we need to get rid of all of them. She just made it easier. Obama has pushed people into many corners of the federal government, and they will be ferreted out, then released.

Try to think a bit out of your box. What if Microsoft, Google and Apple were making billions from common core and STEM academic programs, but felt the graduates were incompetent. Why should we hire from outside the U.S. while paying billions to educate our children? Microsoft and friends have some explaining to do.

My guess, she thought that Trump would let it ride until Sessions was confirmed.

It backfired on the woman and I bet she regrets it.

This is looking like the school classroom where the kids are out of control due to a lax,easy going "fun" teacher and then all of a sudden a stern teacher is put in place and they then flip out and scream how mean and evil the teacher is because they are now having to actually follow the rules and have some structure.
