Sally Yates’s Rebellion Ends with a Whimper
Breitbart, Dec 4, 2017, Joel B. Pollak

Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates has had a whirlwind year as the left’s newest darling. She became an instant political celebrity when she refused to defend President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration and travel from terror-prone countries — the so-called “travel ban.”

Trump promptly fired her, which earned her a Senate hearing, a graduation speech at Harvard Law School, and talk about a bright future as a Democratic Party politician.

But Yates’s rebellion ended with a whimper on Monday, as the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down several lower court injunctions and let the third version of Trump’s travel ban stand, for now.

And she remains fired!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
