I couldn't resist.
Yates follows a grand Democrat party tradition stretching back to Jackson and going on to Calhoun to Davis, to George Wallace of ignoring or nullifying laws they don't like.
Then there's the case of Mary Francis Berry, an otherwise unemployable academic whom President George W. Bush tried and fail to remove from the Civil Rights Commission because, well, her term expired. Berry insisted her term hadn't expired and stayed on. I guess she blocked the Civil Rights Commission door.
Of course W. backed down.
He'd back down here too.
President Trump employed the ax.
It's almost as if he goaded Yates into being insubordinate just so he could make an example of her. I know I'm feeling all warm and nummy about it. Of course the inevitable Reagan comparison is being made.
Hearkening back to him is always dangerous for a conservative. That said, Reagan's firing of the air traffic controllers is an apt comparison. It was a crucial moment in his presidency. One that terrified the Soviet's actually whose take away was, 'This Ronald Reagan is madman who means he says, Comrade.'
With that in mind, for your viewing pleasure:
