Even though she has a long history as a respected career prosecutor who has been praised by Republican lawmakers, you're supposed to smear her by painting her as a "Democratic operative who was out to get Trump."

You’re Fired! Sally Yates Embodies the Left’s Loathsome Arrogance
By Jeremy Carl — January 31, 2017

The left’s smug arrogance is always their undoing. For our latest exhibit, meet former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who, in what should have been her resignation letter in response to her refusal to carry out President Trump’s executive order on immgration, wrote “I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right.”


This is exactly the sort of lawless moral preening and grandstanding from the left that is so dangerous. Americans of all political stripes should condemn it. Nobody appointed this woman philosopher-Queen of the country. Nobody appointed her the judge of right and wrong. Would Sally Yates want a conservative in her place ignoring the ruling of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel that an executive order was legal in order to “Take a stand for what is right” from his conservative perspective? Of course not.


Name aside, the DOJs job isn’t about seeking some left-wing (or right-wing) politico’s view of justice. It’s about making sure that the duly-passed laws of the United States are enforced. If Yates felt that what she were doing were fundamentally violative of the Constitution, then she should have explained why and resigned. Otherwise, her personal views are irrelevant. — she’s a functionary with a job to do. If she refuses to do the job, she should have the dignity to quit.
