Jeff Sessions informs Sally Yates in her confirmation hearing that she may have to make decisions that go against the President...that a President may enact unconstitutional laws and she should go against it.

 

So much for that!  Ironic, isn't it?

I hope that the halftime show will provide a chance for Lady Gaga to speak on behalf of the people from banned countries who have been our allies against real threats.  Maybe she could get an Armed Service person on stage to say something about the Iraqis who helped them and are now barred from entering the US.

It is absolutely her job and her obligation to consider how laws, executive orders or otherwise  are in direct conflict with the Constitution of the US and how they affect American citizens. I know you're not informed of this cause you're not American, but the Attorney General's job is to defend the rights of and be accountable to the AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT the President. 

As a very competent woman with integrity and principles, she had every right to stand up and say she would not defend such a patently unconstitutional order. It's not "defying the government" it's  defending the rights of Americans.

You would do well to note that.
