Trump Fires Acting Attorney General
Imagine a world in which officers of the executive branch were completely free to defy the president. Would there not be chaos? It makes sense for a president to fire insubordinate subordinates.The AAG was likely trying to score political points by going out the way she did. I respect her acting according to conscience, but do think making a show of it like that dilutes the message a bit. Probably more effective for her to have made a statement outlining her objections to the EO and unwillingness to defend it, and then resigned.
