>> firing your Attorney General?
If the president executes an Executive Order, the AG is bound to enforce it. It is her job. If she doesn't think it is legal, she is still bound to enforce it as it isn't her call. She can, of course, resign, if she is so inclined, or she can be fired for not performing her job. Which requires her to enforce the Executive Order.
Both Turley and Dershowitz, who personally opposed the order, have clearly stated that she was required to enforce it. Period. And that she made a mistake by refusing.
The Saturday Night Massacre was, as you surely are aware, about two others resigning in protest after Nixon fired Archibald Cox, an Independent Prosecutor. Obviously, not even the slightest connection with Trump firing the AG for nonperformance of her duties. |
