To the Trumpsters, Trump is Santa Clause to an eight year old. They know he's not real, but they want him to be real so badly that they will suspend belief, facts, and logic to make it soI feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

Bit harsh? Really childish.
Her grounds for refusing the enforce the order -- because it wasn't "right" -- I mean...lol. I didn't realize DOJ officials get to pick and choose which laws and orders to enforce based on personal morality.Last edited by iam416; January 31, 2017, 08:17 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Well on the one hand, you'd think that if this was illegal there would be a law we could check and that should be in the coverage. This shouldn't be one person saying it's legal and one saying it isn't. Go check the law and see what it says. I recognize it isn't always that simple, so we have to have people like talent or Stan or Geezer or SLF on the planet to figure it out and otherwise degrade our collective quality of life, but at least it should be a starting point. I haven't seen a reference to the relevant law here in any of the stories I've read. Then again I've read only two or three. I have a lot of stories to read right now about a lot of things. So maybe that's out there and I haven't seen it.
Then again, once you've got multiple judges weighing in on the legality of something -- or even one -- isn't that it? Courts and judges are there to give us a ruling on what's legal and what's not. We have one now. What's being done is now therefore illegal because the judges have said so, so no point in arguing it past that, right? Maybe Yates was martyring herself or maybe she didn't want to be remembered as someone who enabled an assault on the rule of law. Doesn't matter. What's important is that, as far as I can tell, the President is breaking the law while claiming to do the opposite. As a process-oriented person, talent, I'm not sure how there's another way to read it.

Its always about who's ox is getting gored. Always.
In that spirit, I am looking for a used "Don't Tread On Me" flag, if anybody here has a lead on one. Should be plenty on the market now...I don't mind a little visible wear and tear. Heh.

Hack:
I believe Ms. Yates said this:
My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts. In addition, 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.
As far as one judge ruling on the EO goes, no. It's not settled. Nor is it close. The DOJ can appeal to the Circuit Court. Then they can appeal to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court declines to hear the case, then the law is only controlling in that Circuit (1 of 12). The DOJ can enforce in other circuits and potentially get favorable rulings.
As you surely recall, a district court judge (more than 1) struck down Obamacare. I don't recall any advocacy that the issue was settled at that point. I recall the appellate process eventually overturning those rulings.
I agree that she probably should have just resigned, she could have made the same stand doing it that way. But saying someone should just follow orders without any moral involvement is a slippery slope. Do we need to start dredging up the examples of historical atrocities committed under such conditions?
C'mon, man. This is pretty clear. You work for the DOJ. You don't like how the DOJ does business, leave. But if stay, do your fucking job. We're not in the same galaxy as carrying out genocide.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
