Former acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates was cheered Tuesday by Democrats thrilled with her refusal to enforce President Trump’s executive order on refugees, but she wasn’t always as picky when it came to White House directives.
Ms. Yates, whom Mr. Trump fired Monday night, engaged in no such rebellion against President Obama’s order on immigration amnesty in her role as the second-ranking official in the Justice Department, even after a federal court declared it unlawful.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Mr. Obama’s executive order on amnesty in November 2015, six months after the Senate voted to confirm Ms. Yates as deputy attorney general. The U.S. Supreme Court declined in October to hear the Justice Department’s appeal.
Ms. Yates‘ decision to go to the mat for the Obama directive comes in sharp contrast to her defiance of the Trump administration, fueling accusations that she capped her 10 days as acting attorney general by crossing the line into political grandstanding.

Quite clear that the bim was politically motivated!
Dumbocrats have a hard time with what is lawful and right over what serves them and their agenda!
Will look REAL GOOD on her next job application. Lol. Uh,Ms. Yates it says here you were fired as Attorney General of the United States. Lmao.
This really brings home the story of her commitment not to actual defense of the nation, but to a Democrat agenda. She can be cheered all they want, but cheers quickly die while the cheered are forgotten.
She was insubordinate and rightly fired. Good riddance.
Liberal states will be calling her to work for them. She will have no problem getting another job.
