1. I hope she makes a fortune in the private sector these next few years.

And then returns to government under the next Democratic administration with a hero's welcome!

[rurallib]

10. wish she could do so by bankrupting Trump

[ehrnst]

28. If she does, she will be vilified for doing so by the "true progressives."

Remember?

[Lucinda]

2. I saw a little of the video last night. It was awesome.

[sarcasmo]

3. The Yates momentum may hold for a 2020 run.

[kentuck]

4. Might be a good idea.

[BamaRefugee]

5. YES!

[byronius]

6. Dude. Absolutely.

[DURHAM D]

7. They are trying to get her to run for Governor.

Georgia Democrats try to lure Sally Yates into governor’s race

[onetexan]

24. i truly hope she will run for governor

fabulous candidate!

[NewJeffCT]

27. that would fire up progressives to turn out

turnout is the key

[lutherj]

8. I hope she first serves a stint as Special Prosecutor. N/t

[klook]

21. +45 Brazillion (nt)

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Nothing but respect and gratitude for this phenomenal woman.

[AgadorSparticus]

25. +1000!!!! Ditto!

[sheshe2]

11. She is an effing Nasty Woman and... I love...

I respect and I stand for her with all my heart.

I love that pic with Holder. He is saying, Yes. Yes this woman! He is pointing to her with both fingers. YES!

[LakeArenal]

31. No disrespect to you, sheshe...

But personally I wish the term Nasty Woman would die out. It reminds me of women who have signs on the desk, " The Bitch Is In". Why refer to any woman as nasty or a bitch. That term came with Republicans. I don't need to hear it.

[Exultant Democracy]

33. I couldn't agree more.

this term is way past it's fresh by date.

[Honeycombe8]

12. She did an honorable thing.

She was rewarded for her stance, when the courts struck the EO down. She had cred.

[George II]

13. That's great! She's being lauded by many Americans, regardless of their political affiliation.

[GeoWilliam750]

14. If all Republicans were as principled as her

(And Democrats for that matter)

We would have far fewer partisan political problems

I would have little problem voting for her whether she ran for either party

[ailsagirl]

15. Very well-deserved

[SunSeeker]

16. K & R

[irisblue]

17. The song by Aretha Franklin jumps to mind

And since I am on a phone I can't post it...but I am humming it

[tenorly]

18. Our last real Attorney General

What we have now is an Inferior Minister.

[lastlib]

19. Jefferson "No-Regard" Sessions III is an inferior Minister of Injustice.

[tenorly]

20. That's him to a tee. A real Secretary of Segregation, Commissioner of Cross Burning,

Administrator of Apartheid.

I grew up not far from Sessions' neck of the woods, and can attest to the fact that the typical Deep South Republican is an unreconstructed Confederacy freak. They still resent the Civil War, and deeply.

Don't get me wrong: many white Southerners abhor all that - but they're in the minority, and generally know to keep their moths shut.

[Takket]

22. Yates is nothing less than a hero and inspiration to us all

Not sure her ambitions but I hope public service calls to her. America needs fearless leaders like Yates.

[MyOwnPeace]

23. How great.............

and what a set-up for 2020:

President Warren appoints Sally Yates as Attorney General - and FINALLY gets Senate ratification after Turtle McConnell gets rolled over on his back and can't get up!

[Tatiana]

26. A true hero and patriot. n/t

[Gothmog]

29. K&R

[Gothmog]

30. Yeah

[Sunlei]

32. Her eyes look so unhappy. I can't imagine how horrible it must be, the things she knows & now

Republicans allowed their idiot president to get rid of her.
