True but she swore to defend the Constitution first and foremost. We are a country of laws not men. It could have run its course in a number of ways but he chose to do the dramatic thing rather than let it simmer more or less quietly until the new AG gets sworn in.

She was a seditionist wench that needed to be fired. No, Nixon and Hillary hid information and deserved to be fired. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean he is breaking the law. Eat it with a spoon. The Americans are in charge of American now, not some Kenyan Jihadist hell bent on destroying America.

Show me in the Constitution where America cannot be defended by its POTUS? Multiple times in our history we have done this before.

Cool down Truth. I know it is hard to watch a president melt down but that's what's happening. Just chill.

All I did was express an opinion about this looking like the end of the Nixon era and you get all name calling with the wench thing re the female judge. All the judges who have put a stay on this directive have been women. That must burn the POTUS!! They are there for life and cannot be fired like the serving AG so he'll just have to deal with it.

Lots of name calling going on. what's that a sign of?

Show me in the Constitution where the president can do whatever he/she wants. Even the president has to follow the law and what the judges say and they are both subservient to the Constitution. He was defending his ego, not the country.

Ha! We're not the ones desperately posting misogynist and ignorant birther remarks.  Like othershoe, I know it's hard watching your main man make a fool of himself before the whole world, but get used to it -- you've got 3 years and 11 months to go, unless impeachment and removal from office happens first.

The ACA is a law passed by Congress not an executive order. Good grief.

It's analogous as it was shoved through by one and only one party. Not one GOP congressman voted for it. And it's at least 1/2 the reason Dems have no power in D.C. now.
