that confirmation hearing where Sessions is asking her if she could stand up to the president, is so fucking POIGNANT right now
millbilliesrule
Donations for what???
Cavalrysword
Defending the Constitution. It is the ACLUs only client.

Her job was to enforce the laws of the US as they are written not to decide if they were constitutional. That's the job of the courts
eion85
That's not borne out by history.

Legit question : Wasnt she an Obama appointee? Wouldnt she have been replaced right away anyway ? Not American so I dont know how it works.
BigForNothing
She was just the interim AG. She was going to be replaced anyway. Literally happens every admin. Repubs won, so everything is hitler.
aCheekyFingerUpTheBum
Yeah but the rhetoric sprouted about her was pretty scary
CaptainObvious3000
She didn't do her job. Any other president would've fired her too
yikesaroni
except she did do her job, even to the requirements of the incoming AG, Jeff Sessions
CaptainObvious3000
She said she wouldn't defend the EO. She wasn't doing her job

He absolutely had the right to fire her, but he absolutely did it the wrong way.
yikesaroni
nobody is arguing about the president's ability to dismiss appointees, it's about doing it to people who stand up to your unlawful orders

yikesaroni
but yet trump already behaved badly by not working with the AG to improve the order
LETHARGICpancake
Got fired for not doing her job, how cavalier.
GiantMoron
Or for standing up for what is right, not alt-right
LETHARGICpancake
That's fine and dandy, but you can't expect to keep your job by being insubordinate.
GiantMoron
I think she knew she was getting canned
Cavalrysword
The fact that she knew it would get her fired is what makes it impressive. Moral courage is rarer than physical courage.
LETHARGICpancake
Which is fine. Just people shouldn't be outraged by the act.
Cavalrysword
Imgur doesn't show me what you replied to. Which act? Hers or Trump's?
YesIamTheDevilButIDontExistSoDontListenToMeBesidesIamNotADoctor
actually she got fired for doing her job
LETHARGICpancake
Just like Kim Davis, right? Oh wait.
YesIamTheDevilButIDontExistSoDontListenToMeBesidesIamNotADoctor
I don't think you understand this if you compare the 2. You just want to write things...
LETHARGICpancake
I think you're just upset because it's the exact same argument.
YesIamTheDevilButIDontExistSoDontListenToMeBesidesIamNotADoctor
I'm sure it is in your head. that's why some people lead and some follow.
