For those wondering, Jackie Battley-wife 1 of 3-did not pass away from her cancer in 1980 but lived a long life, passing at age 77 in 2013.

Could it be He fired his wife so she could collect unemployment. You can't get it if u quit right?

The way Gingrich went from cabinet hopeful to spiteful reject and back to mindless lackey is fucking pathetic.

She was fired by god.

Attorney General isn't supposed to carry out Trumps wishes. They are supposed to uphold the law. They can't be "insubordinate"
MikeTheMonsta
AG's are supposed to enforce the law. She literally gave no reason as to what words in the order we're unconstitutional. This was political

Trump changed the law or rather added to an already existing one and she didn't want to apply the law.
BearsDontCare
Trump does not possess authority to change a law, and ignore its conflict with other laws. Her actions were correct, it is the duty of the
BearsDontCare
attorney general to question the law and ensure it is correct, free of bias, and based on justice. Trump acted as a CEO...not President
BurnerAccount626
An executive order is the law. The Atty Gen doesnt hold the authority to make judicial decisions. Only the courts do.
OhFaceYeah
You need to re-take 8th grade U.S. History class, the executive branch enforces the law, the legislative branch makes them, basic stuff.
pdxenburg
No, it's direction to his departments on how to carry out the law. He can't override the law though. Only Congress can do that.
Genini
They are supposed to uphold the law. If they fail in that duty then the president can replace them.
SmellOfMonkey
You do realise that an executive order isn't the law, it has to comply with the law. It didn't, so she upheld the law and was removed
KaiserSkald
Yes, it is entirely lawful. See past Supreme Court decisions, the Alien and Sedition Acts, etc.
Genini
The order was well within the law.
pdxenburg
Clearly not everyone agrees with you. It conflicts with other laws against discrimination based on religion and country of origin
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
The president is not the law.
Sremmos
I bet many that were calling Barry king for his EO usage thing Trump is the law now.
Genini
He is able to act within the law and his order is lawful.
pdxenburg
Absolutely debatable
Genini
Which is what judges do. Which is why the attorney general refusing to even bring it before them is bad.
aselfdefeatingattitude
She even said when she was being confirmed she would do what the law and constitution state over what the president says. The person asking
aselfdefeatingattitude
about that? The new acting AG, Jeff Sessions.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
She got fired, because he didn't like her decision... This isn't a business you can play like monopoly, Trump.

SwaglortSeal
It's a cabinet position. The cabinet is not a democracy. The president has the final say. I don't care for Trump but bad facts got us here.
baiin
Actually that's exactly what he thinks it is. The first POTUS to ever state he was going to make $$ from his term in office.
xCOMBATICUSx
It was a lawful. She had no right to send those orders...
pdxenburg
She's the head of the DOJ
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
She didn't send any orders, and it was HER JOB to speak out against his EO.
xCOMBATICUSx
They had to rescind her orders to DOJ lawyers to not defend the EO...those orders and defiance to a lawful eo is why she was justly fired...
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
It's cool that people want to be involved in politics and discussions, but ffs educate yourself don't just guess what you think is right.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
The EO wasn't lawful according to the top justice official in the country.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
"the president did it" isn't the same as "lawful", remember Nixon?

She literally decides what's lawful.

DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Wasn't her job pretty much up for replacement anyway?
GogglesGreek
Yes, but she was still acting AG. And her job is literally to defend the constitution. Don angrily fired her for "betrayal" against himself.

When your constituents have no values or morals you can do whatever you want.

Scary, but true, and we're seeing that now. Thankfully there's enough moderates who voted for him that are now distancing themselves...

...wait out for her to be replaced in the near future and not given us liberals a martyr for the cause. He's just that stupid, but I'm...
Theothercword
...happy that he is in this case.
edgeofadhesion
She was acting AG until they swear in Sessions, which makes it worse. She got fired for someone to take the job on for a few weeks.
TheThingYouWillFindOverTheRainbow
Trump changed the law or rather added to an already existing one and she didn't want to apply the law.
pdxenburg
Trump doesn't have authority to change one law so that it now conclicts with other laws. So she was correct in questioning it
JaketheBurningMan
We have checks and balances for a reason, Trump is not god-king of America
SwaglortSeal
There were valid legal arguments from the Office of Legal Council, she just didn't want to apply them b/c she disagreed with the order.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
It's unbelievable how big this is. It's a fucking outrage.
SwaglortSeal
Her job is to faithfully execute the law if it's Constitutional. The Off. of Legal Council had a valid argument for constitutionality 1/2
SwaglortSeal
2/2 but she refused to use it in the courts bc she disagreed with the order. I don't care for Trump but poor facts are what got us here.
pdxenburg
She said it was unlawful, as in it conflicted with the law -not just the Constitution. Trump can't execute orders that conflict with the law
evilblackdog
You mean like how she refused to carry out the one Obama signed into law stopping people from 7 countries known to harbor terrorists?
BatLadyRielle
That's not even remotely the same thing. It wasn't a ban, was tied to a specific event, and congress had the power to expedite visas.
BatLadyRielle
Trump's action is a blanket ban on any entry from non natural citizens, not tied to any specific event, with no process or exceptions.

KaiserSkald
The executive order was completely lawful.
pdxenburg
Not according to her. I give her more credibility on the law over your sources
KaiserSkald
Tell that to John Adams, to FDR, and Obama, all three of which enacted similar legislation.
pdxenburg
Well I know you're lying about Obama. Can I just assume you're full of shit on the other two as well?
KaiserSkald
Look it up. The executive order is an extension and somewhat expansion of an Obama policy.
evilblackdog
They don't like to hear that. It wasn't a problem when Obama signed it into law and used it.
pdxenburg
He banned visa holders? Didn't think so....
seamusmcfly
Wrong.

He didn't use it to ban people that already had visa documents approved

Newt Gingrich very publicly left his wife who was battling uterine cancer for a younger woman after being elected to Congress on a (1)
DougForcett
platform of "Christian Family Values." It's something that has dogged him his entire political career. (2)
KomodoKill
What a giant piece of shit. .."Values" ...
Aquaticlemming
The fact he still has a career is bullshit...
maniacalmacaroni
As it should. Should have ended any political career IMO as a person with no moral compass shouldn't be in a position of that much power.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Maybe she was a fucking cunt and also had cancer? We don't know every detail do we? cancer doesn't mean a free pass either
dragonadamant
(Disclaimer: Son of a survivor) Cancer is one of those trying times that really, really should bring a family together unconditionally.
maniacalmacaroni
But the party of said 'Christian family values' doesn't really behave according to those values, they just use them to get votes.
maniacalmacaroni
*obviously not everyone or even most the party, but some of its leaders do things that are simply not compatible with it.
HideyoWifeHideyoKids
Oh wow, what a nice guy.
Manse84
It actually gets better. He cheats on wife 2 w/ a girl 20 years younger, during the Lewinsky scandal.
DougForcett
When you say during, it's worth noting that he was Speaker of the House and thus heading the impeachment trial at the time.
Manse84
He's also basically the one that created the divided Washington and made Dems "the enemy." Read his wiki page, he is slimy as all hell
HideyoWifeHideyoKids
I've had enough slime this month I'll take your word that Newt is in fact a reptile
heyyouthere1042
And then there's George soros...
HitlersArtCritic
He can't at least wait for her to die before replacing her? Holy shit, he's an asshole.
DougForcett
While he won't admit to this, the story is that he had her sign the papers while sitting in a hospital bed undergoing treatment.
HitlersArtCritic
If he left his wife for another woman, usually you do have to sign papers saying "Fuck you, I'm leaving you" regardless why.
grabthembythepussy
Whaaaa?are you saying religious people are bunch of hypocrites.i'm shocked!

Well "religious people" sounds a little too inclusive. How bout we tone that down and just say we wanna punch Newt in the face?

Mmmkay.

While with regards to Trump, he recently fired the acting Attorney General because they opposed his EO-based travel ban,
6313326
(1) She was right to do as she did (act in line w/ her judgement re: legality of Executive action) buuuuuut
6313326
(2) His dismissing her was absolutely OK (she served at the pleasure of the President). He was wrong, though, to say that she betrayed DOJ.
6313326
(3) Dude really needs to learn that acting against his desires =/= betrayal or lack of patriotism.
rosiethereaver
He won't stop this until the entire fucking government is full of spineless hamsters eager to do his bidding.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Well-stated, and well-reasoned.
HideyoWifeHideyoKids
Oh, I got that part. Thanks though
iSayMeanThingsSometimesSorry
Well, that's a nice spin and all but more accurately, she was fired for announcing the DOJ would not uphold Trump's travel ban. >>>
iSayMeanThingsSometimesSorry
>>> Whether she agreed with the decision or not, she didn't have the authority to do what she did as acting AG. >>>
iSayMeanThingsSometimesSorry
>>> I'm not saying either side is right. Honestly, right now, the US gov't is a train wreck (IMO).
DougForcett
Here's an interesting video of the incoming AG and recently fired one: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4653581/yates-sessons-saying-president
rosiethereaver
No. The AG is supposed to uphold the law, not do Trump's bidding. She refused to enforce it because of legal concerns...that was her job.
iSayMeanThingsSometimesSorry
The Justice Department OLC had reviewed it and found the executive order to be lawful before she announced that DOJ wasn't upholding it.
