Paul, this is what happens when your highly anticipated sure-thing win suddenly became a loss. You are letting your anger and frustration spout nothing but hyperbole. A democratically elected president and his peaceful transition of power suddenly become an "authoritarian takeover." An acting Attorney General's treasonous disobedience becomes "honorable and savvy." Instead of being an attorney, honorably defending her client and instructing those under her authority to do the same, she made herself both President and sole Supreme Court Justice by deciding on her own that the Executive Order was illegal. Perhaps she would have next assumed the powers of Congress! If the order ends up being deemed illegal by the courts, fine. If Yates had said she believed it to be illegal, but did her job in defending it vigorously anyway, that would also be fine and professional. What she actually did was not and deserved firing. Anyone needing an attorney to vigorously defend them should not hire her.
