Ironically, that is what got Acting Attorney General Sally Yates in trouble. She did it a few days ago when she was fired for refusing to defend the Muslim ban because she thought it might not be lawful. Throughout the campaign, Senator Sessions supported a religious-based test for immigrants, and I fear that Senator Sessions is unlikely to stand up to Donald Trump and tell him that he is wrong on this front. To be honest with you, I just believe we need somebody who will do that, and unfortunately I fear there is a good chance that Senator Sessions believes Donald Trump just might be right. I am also afraid that Senator Sessions won't be the independent check our country is likely to need, especially in this administration.
