He was within his right to fire her. Other than complain and moan on a discussion forum over what he did, what can any of you do to change the outcome? Nothing. The election's over. The democrats lost.
I said earlier that she was refusing to do her job so it made sense she was fired, but now I understand that it's quite the opposite; it's the AG's job to inquiry into whether what they are enforcing is proper, and legal. The next AG, Sessions, even said so in Yates' confirmation hearings back in 2015. So, from that point of view, she was fired for doing her job correctly; she enforces and follows the law and the Constitution. If the POTUS asks the AG to enforce something deemed improper, they should take a stand, just like she did.
"Trump's the president" ain't a good enough answer, sorry. Nobody should stand for that sort of response, no matter who sits in the Oval Office. "[x] is the president, doesn't matter what anybody thinks" is how you get a tyrant.
Since you just repeated what you already said without addressing my actual argument, I'll just stop here.
