Holy shit. He's just removing anyone in his way. This is bad.
Bad, but not surprising.
It's not a "holy shit" kind of thing, she was standing in just until President Trump's nominee Sessions is confirmed, hopefully a matter of days. President Trump could have released her on inauguration day.
Now tell us why he did not release her and what she signs daily.
I don't/didn't claim such. I'll only proffer what I know as certain
The oath taken by the Attorney General:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any with any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office of which I am about to enter, so help me God."
She was doing her damn job. I'm officially scared.
" ............ have no legal right to intrude on the prerogatives of the executive branch, which Congress has vested with near-unfettered discretion to administer immigration laws and policy."
This is the beginning of a public purge of dissenters.
We need more heroes like her to stand up to this non-sense.
