Acting Attorney General fired after refusing to enforce Executive Order

Washington Post:
White House says ousted official had ‘betrayed’ the Justice Dept.

In ordering the Justice Department to not defend the travel order, Sally Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, said she was not convinced that the travel order is lawful.

President Trump named Dana Boente, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, as acting attorney general. Boente said he will agree to enforce the order.

Earlier Monday, the president sought to play down the effects of his immigration order in a series of tweets, blaming “big problems at airports” on other factors, including demonstrators.
She should have resigned if she was unwilling to enforce the order.  It is not surprising that she was fired and she should have been.  What she did can be described as a betrayal of the Justice Department and the administration.

Trump is better off getting her out of there now rather than allowing her to poison the well from within with her bad attitude and her partisan fervor for the failed policies of the democrats.  Getting rid of people who do not support the policies Americans voted for should be a benefit to the new administration.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
