"President Donald Trump begins his 11th day in office shrouded in crisis, roundly criticized for a chaotic unveiling of immigration measures and under new scrutiny after he fired the nation's top law enforcement officer who refused to enforce them.
On an extraordinary night of political drama Monday, the President dismissed acting attorney general Sally Yates by letter after she instructed the Justice Department not to defend Trump's immigration order, which bans travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations and temporarily halts refugee arrivals."

The great American backlash could not have happened in quicker. Through executive order dictates, Trump is assaulting the majority of citizens that he has consistently refused to acknowledge. He can ignore them, yet Americans will not be trampled by his authoritarianism.
Oust him, Americans must, and they will. It is happening by due process, instance by instance of abuses being taken to court. It will happen when Democratic Representatives confront him in Congress. It will happen when moderate Republicans restore reason and civility to their party.
We're reading your lips
You are fired, Donald Trump
