    This is a legitimate crisis of public and professional duty, career reputation and individual academic philosophy; but it's entirely Yates' own, while she will be fully vindicated in every arena, Trump's firing doesn't subvert any other branch of government or overstep his authority.

    Sessions asked her if it was a responsibility to say no to the president "if the views are unlawful".

    The executive order was approved by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. What part was unlawful?

    Hard core trolling:

    http://www.politico.com/states/cali...ding-melania-trump-immigration-records-109126

    BERKELEY — A California state senator is calling on the White House to release documents related to Melania Trump's immigration, as part of a broader objection to President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

    State Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley, standing alongside Senate Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon in the state Capitol last week, made the call as part of a protest against Trump’s executive order calling for limiting funds to “sanctuary cities.”

    An AP investigation last November found Melania Trump lacked proper work visas when she was employed as a model after arriving in the U.S. from her native Slovenia more than two decades ago.

    “No one in the Trump operation has released any of the documentation to indicate what was the circumstance, or whether she had full legal status,’’ Skinner told POLITICO California in an interview this week. “We only know they had a lawyer look at whatever papers she chose to give."

    Skinner noted that Trump promised last August that his wife would hold a press conference on the matter before the election, but that never occurred. Skinner called the president's response "not adequate,’’ particularly in light of policies advocated by Trump that could put hundreds of thousands of undocumented people in California under the threat of deportation.

    The White House did not respond to POLITICO's request for comment on the matter.

    San Francisco attorney Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, called the effort “below the belt” and “a cheap trolling tactic" that is "really beneath the dignity of these California legislators.”

    Dhillon called the effort "sexist and harassing,'' saying, “I don’t think that the president’s policy positions make his wife fair game for anything.”

    Immigration attorney David Leopold, a former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said that because of Trump's immigration actions, Skinner’s move is "fair game."

    He said the AP investigation, as well as previous reporting by POLITICO, have raised serious questions about whether Melania Trump "had been coming into the country to work without the proper work visas, which is fraud, if its true.”

    An executive order issued by Trump last week calls for any immigrant who has committed fraud to be an enforcement priority.

    Leopold said "it’s only appropriate they make his wife’s file public, so we know that his family also complied with immigration rules."

    Sue Caro, the Alameda County GOP chair, was outraged by Skinner's demands. "This is a crap grandstanding posture," she tweeted.

    The request came a few days before Trump issued an executive order barring refugees and some legal immigrants from entering the United States, disrupting travel around the world and leading to large-scale protests around the nation.

    Why are you always jumping around from this simple question and making up excuses?
    If Obama or a Democrat were responsible for this new order, you and the rest of the Trump nuts here would sh** all over it and tell us how it is a complete, embarrassing failure.

    Now that Trump did it, the only thing you and puppets like texxx, RL are saying is “ask homeland“, “what about Cubaaa“ or “reasons duh“, seriously?

    This behaviour is embarrassing and shows how full of crap you guys are, not even slightly interested in really discussing real issues.

    Think this hasn't been posted here, pretty alarming to see such dividing and emotional language in official releases.
    Can't believe people really voted this guy into White House.

    The second I read "...Sally Yates, has betrayed..." then I started reading the entire press release in Trump's voice. 100% chance that was written by Trump. Everything he does is a circus lol and we have 1450 more days left! :D:D:eek::eek:

    because liberals are jumping around spreading false information. Pardon for trying to combat fake news

    He did pass something similar. It is called the Terrorist Travel Travel Prevention Act. Republicans did not protest.

    You failed to make one argument in your entire post.

    Your post is pure irony, hilarious to see how you talk about "jumping around", not making arguments etc when you never do so yourself, while dodging every question that questions the content of the regulation.

    Already made arguments about the measures taken in this regulation, regarding choice of countries, effectiveness of measures etc., it's your turn to adequately reply. And no, talking about OBama, Cuba or Liberals isn't a proper answer.

    "because liberals are jumping around spreading false information. Pardon for trying to combat fake news" blabla. You realize people like me are not spreading false information and are talking about the content of the regulation itself, for example the countries included/excluded and safety measures it implements? Your crappy response about fake news has ZERO to do with this and completely fails at delivering any content.

    You continue to talk gibberish and avoid talking about the issue itself, it's embarassing.

    That's going to be the right's argument against anything over the rest of this administration's term...however long or short that might be. Any statement not in 100% agreement with them will be regarded and shot down as "FAKE NEWS".

    No rational person can look at this order and the execution of it as a success by any measure.
