The Acting AG was an Obama appointee and was still working for Obama - not Americans. Obama is setting up a shadow government. Most likely she'll end up working now in Obama's shadow government.

That's a load of shit on many, many levels.
She was the acting Attorney General because she was asked by Trump to serve as acting AG. She was a member of the DOJ since the 1980's when Bob Barr hired her. You should look up Bob Barr.
She took an oath to the Consitution and working "for Americans" as you put it.

Be sure about this. Yates WAS an Obama appointee. And angry shills are awfully transparent.

The Lawfare blog finds Yates's statement unpersuasive. She doesn't say why it isn't lawful. https://www.lawfareblog.com/quick-thoughts-sally-yates-unpersuasive-statement
Another writer on that site says given the above, she shouldn't have refused to defend the executive order, she should have resigned. https://www.lawfareblog.com/quick-thoughts-sally-yates-unpersuasive-statement

So...was she the AG when Obama put a 6 month freeze on refugees in 2011?
If so, this is just another political move for show. She was going to be replaced anyway, so this is a show of loyalty to the powers opposing Trump. Makes a nice news story for them.
And even of she wasn't, this still reeks of hypocracy and showboating.
