Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that Yates' firing "underscores how important it is to have an Attorney General who will stand up to the White House when they are violating the law.
"The Attorney General should be loyal and pledge fidelity to the law, not the White House," Schumer said. "The fact that this administration doesn’t understand that is chilling."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claimed in a statement of her own that Yates was "fired for upholding the Constitution of the United States.
"What the Trump Administration calls betrayal is an American with the courage to say that the law and the Constitution come first," Pelosi said.
So what about Eric Holder?????
