The first one won't be challenged by a higher court. The Administration gave up on it. That is why they developed the second one.
The first one was overturned....by the very first challenge, the state of Washington. There were other states in line waiting their turn to challenge it as well.
This second one will meet the same fate.
It IS her job to provide legal advice to the President. It is not the "legal duty to execute orders by the President" (by the AG's office). No offense, but I really am surprised at your lack of understanding of how the process works and at your lack of understanding of the role of the AG's office. You do realize that one of the standing questions by the US Senate for an AG nominee is essentially "if you found disagreement with the President over the constitutionality of a policy, would you hesitate to disagree with him and advise him against that policy or advise him to make changes"?
Trump was wrong. He lost.
"See you in court". "We did and we won".
Countryroads89 the AG's office enforces U.S. Laws as our chief Law enforcement agency. Their job is to enforce U.S. Laws, which Constitutionally they are sworn to uphold. Trump didn't ask Yates to violate U.S. Law, she was asked to execute a standing EO, which was lawfully issued by the President.
The Washington court placed a stay on execution of Trump's EO, and as far as I know the final decision to challenge that stay in higher courts has not been settled yet. However a new EO is now proposed and set to take effect in a few days which has many of the same provisions of the 1st one.
In cases of dispute with the Executive Office over the legality of an Executive order, it is the White House Counsel's Office where the proper forum to dispute or question the validity of that order should be carried out, not the public media show Yates preferred to voice her opposition to Trump's order.
The White House Counsel's Office said Trump's EO was both legal and within his Constitutional authority to issue. The subsequent EO will not be challenged or overthrown in court as you predict.
So you are wrong, and Trump is right.
