(Please note who that is questioning Yates during her confirmation in 2015. Of course that was when the president he expected the AG to say no to was Obama...)
Proves my point good buddy.
How in the world does the incoming AG being on record saying it is NOT the AGs job to just defend the legality of anything the President tries to do... and to tell the President "No" when he tries to do something illegal... prove your point that it was her job to defend the legality of what Trump was trying to do when it was her official opinion that the EO was not legal????
She wasn't going to support it, not because she was correct in her belief of the legality of the EO, but because she already believed it was illegal.
The courts have sided with her opinion so far on that legality question. What is your extensive background in law that makes you more of a subject matter expert on it than the previous United States Attorney General AND multiple Federal Judges?
She believed it was illegal based on it, you know, violated the law.
Why ask her if you believe that she is wrong to believe as she does?
Why ask the subject matter expert for their input on the subject they are the expert on who is employed specifically to provide you with the services of said expertise when you (person with no training in said subject *whatsoever*) are going to disagree with their feedback on it?
Because she's the Attorney General with a lifetime of legal experience whose job it actually IS (among other things) to advise the President on things like whether his EOs are legal or not...and Trump is Trump... who knows not a damn thing about the law.
Did you *really* need me to answer that question?
