Chuck Schumer ?@SenSchumer 31m31 minutes ago
The AG should pledge fidelity to the law & the Constitution not the WhiteHouse. The fact that this admin doesnt understand that is chilling.

Firing of Sally Yates underscores how impt it is to have an Attorney General who'll stand up to the WhiteHouse when they violate the law.

(280 posts)3. Jeff Sessions had a question for Sally Yates
Jeff Sessions asked Sally Yates during her confirmation hearing if she would be willing to defy the President if he asked her to do something improper or unlawful.
Years later, Ms. Yates does exactly that (against Donald Trump) and promptly gets fired. Meanwhile, Mr. Sessions is waiting to take the job.
Will Jeff Sessions now speak out in support of Sally Yates and her decision to not defend Donald Trump's refugee ban?
