[@bobbijolane367]

I LOVE this woman!!

[@russmartin9549]

I saw her first! Shes mine lol. Shes badass

[@ryanwilhite]

Still not as cringe as Cruz making campaign calls for Trump after he pretty much called his wife ugly.

[@dj37she38]

Ryan Wilhite It was funny watching Cruz on the phone campaigning for trump...he looked extra stupid....

[@iamdone7094]

well she is ugly...

[@Aritul]

I can't believe Cruz is a lawyer. Does Trump have a law school?

[@apusingh1967]

you are out of power.. deal with it

[@Aritul]

Apurva Singh Thanks for the helpful advice.

[@apusingh1967]

good good suck it up now

[@Aritul]

Apurva Singh Ok.

[@apusingh1967]

suck it up .. faster.. 8 yrs

[@suomynona4607]

Cruz doesn't understand that arrogance is not a substitute for intelligence. So much for Cruz's gotcha questions.

[@commanderzero5811]

Ann O'Nymous I know you libs revel in Yates sick burn on Cruz, but did you hear what she said? We basically can't stop any visa applicant from entering the United States. That's scary as fuck.

[@GroundlessSource]

Ann O'Nymous -- the exact same thing can be said about Forrest Trump.

[@iamdone7094]

and neither is sticking your head in a hole when it comes to the teachings of islam.... islam is an intolerant, violent cult of death

[@Amanda---]

this was so good. I was live tweeting my laughter dûring the hearing.

[@apusingh1967]

butthurt?

[@maddii34u]

Apurva Singh How laughing at Ratface, Cruz equates to being butthurt?! LMFAO. Idiot.

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

So you're A Perv Singh ? Why am I not surprised...

[@oldmanjenkins38]

I think John Boehner categorized Cruz most accurately "He's one miserable son of a bitch."

[@BeatzByMK]

Everything about how she handled that blowfish was fucking awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@KidGloves2112]

After this, Ted went home, filled a bowl with ice cream, turned on Princess Bride, and cried into his pillow.

[@billyboy1093]

Nice axe!

[@tubewatch59]

+KidGloves2112 - After this, Ted went home and waited for SCOTUS to make official what should have been obvious to all. Cruz/Trump 1, Yates 0.

[@scottcortez1313]

screamed into his My pillow

[@impactedmedal3842]

You know that clap back had him SHOOK

[@angelabluebird609]

She took him to church AND to school! Fantabulous. :)

[@akizeta]

Yates had that quote in her notes, and went right to it. She _knew_ it was coming! Lyin' Ted, you were _so_ out-manouvered.

[@nancymesek]

NelC She was so prepared for their bullshit. I love this woman!

[@roberthpilesund384]

Remember - this was a hearing about Russia connections. she knew that they would try to waste time on anything other than the topic and prepared for that. One thing you can say about Republicans - they are predictable.

[@leosebastian199]

Hey you, dummy. If he was " so out-maneuvered." how come the Supreme Court ruled in the favor of the president's muslims ban? You people are stupid and brainwashed to the bones.

[@leosebastian199]

Yea , cos Republicans don't play the moronic games like the demonRats. Remind me please: does the Supreme Court sided with the president on the travel ban? And it was PREDICTABLE. The obstruction of the president by the democrat's activists judges. So who's having the last laugh? Dummy.

[@jesusf.2600]

NelC Ted Cruz snells like SHIT. HE IS ALSO A FUCKING COMMUNIST ILIGAL. FUCK THAT ANCHORBABY

[@RashaanB310]

One more question and they would have needed to call the fire department to get her foot out of his ass. He went to go cry in the car.

[@hartwell146]

50 Shades of Black. Oh man you are funny,I'm loving. it😂

[@apusingh1967]

well right now she is jobless and unimportant

[@ipleedafif8033]

50 Shades of Black He got "knocked the fuck out"!

[@russmartin9549]

Dont fuck with this gal. She actually does her homework and will, and is not afraid to, stomp a goddamn mudhole in u

[@Theressomethingwrongwiththem]

Ha! Hahahahahaha! 😂😂😂 I haven't seen a chair become so empty soooooo fast in soooooo long, I almost thought the feed was time-lapsed. That was so worth watching, I'm gonna watch it again. 😁

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

There's no question that she knew that statute. She was just playing the rope-a-dope, lulling him into a false sense of intellectual superiority before she owned his mansplaining ass. I loved every word of it.

[@ElPanchito33]

so calm and so wise

[@BillyBike416]

"so calm and so wise" Yes, I thought so of Ted Cruz as well.

[@brianknickerbocker8518]

Yates slapped that smug ass look off his face tremendously. Love it.

[@eyuin5716]

Did you guys hear that Trump fired Comey? This is going to be a drama of Nixonian proportions.

[@dj37she38]

Ęÿūį Æßñ he should fire himself....I am fired....

[@silat13]

It will only be a drama if the reich shows itself to love the country. They do not.

[@randys6220]

This comment did not age well 7 years later. Nothing happened to Trump over the Comey firing since many democrats blamed Comey for Hillary losing before they switched blame to the Russians.

[@ms.sharon.262]

This will leave a bad taste in his mouth and make him a laughing stock for a long time. Way to go Ms.Yates! You go girl!

[@mancan1531]

Sharon Schubert Sally Yates for President!😜😜😜😜🤔

[@H_A_L_7]

Yes, that’s one clear headed cool calm collected, ready and able to deal with the expected BS. It was a YESSSSSS moment or two.

[@sawittwo]

+Manny Canaday Just wow!!! you go girl. Cruz using sound bites... while Sally uses the U.S Constitution. I can't imagine pitching her against Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann!?.lol

[@oenolf]

Rumour has it Cruz left the room as the door had not been opened yet. Having been reduced to true size, he could walk under it.

[@karenjones1]

Occo Eric Nolf Love it!

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

Occo Eric Nolf....LOL...great stuff!!

[@KCKatheist]

It's incredibly satisfying to witness the the esteemed, honourable, whip-smart and articulate Sally Yates inflicted upon the despised Ted Cruz necessary stinging Constitutional clarity. It's even *more* fun to imagine that beak-nosed Buybull-banger and corporate contributor's bottom-boy had to leave his seat because a *girl* made him cry...

[@jhhayes7241]

Great comment!!

[@KCKatheist]

Thank you, my friend. Some people *invite* abuse; it would be rude not to accept.

[@tubewatch59]

+Kaycee K - Not much use being "whip smart" if you're then found to be wrong. Sass isn't Class.

[@karenjones1]

I loved how she handled that snake, Cruz. She managed to make him look small and petty, while she came across as cool classy. Nice one Sally.

[@proudbadhombre1082]

Karen Jones I agree. You can tell Cruz thought of this all night to try and catch her, even how he talked was arrogant and smug, then bam, she belittled him so good with smarts and class.lol..Ted Cruz was embarrassed and humiliated, he's in hiding now..Another Republican buffoon!!

[@kenbozu1]

She just bitch slapped lying Ted.

[@proudbadhombre1082]

kenbozu1 you summed it up perfect!!.😆

[@worrywart1311]

Right on, Karen.

[@apusingh1967]

no worries this unelected bureaucrat is right now unemployed and needs a job

[@jessetorres8738]

I'm from Texas and I hope a strong Democratic challenger emerges to kick out Ted Cruz from the Senate in 2018.

[@garettjames6349]

Sally Yates should make a run for President. Smart, poised, well spoken, no baggage, not in her 70's... Good candidate.

[@hartwell146]

Oww he got beat up by a girl. ❤😀😀

[@apusingh1967]

more like granny

[@davidnunya6296]

lol cruz tried to grill her on the law and got his ass handed to him he ran to go get it superglue back on NOT ONCE BUT TWICE lol

[@wef133]

Good going Ms. Yates!

[@gritNglitter301]

Don't "f" with a Constitutional lawyer. I guess ole Ted didn't get the updated revision.

[@bjornironside6125]

imshrrj yea dont fuck with the 2nd amendment either.

[@anonymoussources8803]

Boy is she bright. resourceful and knowledgeable. Game, set and match. She was a huge loss to the DOJ

[@choibacco]

Whenever I hear Cruz talk I hear Kyle Kulinski doing an impersonation of Ted Cruz "Nearrughh Im Ted Cruz Nearuugh" :3

[@tmage23]

When I see Ted Cruz, I see a man wearing an ill fitting Ted Cruz mask

[@JordanMichael23CA]

So when is the investigation into Cruz regarding him being the Zodiac killer? I'am not saying he IS the Zodiac killer, I'm also not saying he's not the Zodiac killer....

[@moltomega7642]

Correction: The chair was empty BEFORE Cruz cruised bc bruised

[@bgl500george7]

She should run for president

[@Humanitywaswarned]

"Kick his ass Seabass!"

[@doigyredds]

Justin Neelley Classic

[@AlexPerez-tt9ru]

through the whole thing they made it sound like " your to agree 100 percent of the time. that's your job"

[@h8today]

She doesn't have to agree. Her job was to defend the dictates of her boss in court. Lawyers often get hired by people they know are guilty, but they are required to defend them in court all the same. When she refused, she should have stepped down. That she didn't, and was forced to be fired instead, speaks volumes about her character.

[@jamesguilford6807]

h8; the first job of any public official, is to uphold the constitution, not to defend whomever hired them. The US constitution does in fact apply to immigrants entering the country. On a purely moral level, the founders believed that ALL MEN, rightfully possessed certain rights and among those rights is the right to not be assumed guilty of a crime, absent evidence of guilt. Is there some part of the word ALL, that you do not understand ? I understand your desire for our nation to be a safe place, but we as a nation, have been warned of the consequences of prioritizing a little security, over liberty. Did you miss that memo, or are you just a partisan hack, who will throw all principles to the wind; even constitutional principles; in defense of political party ?

[@charlesmckenna1477]

Alex Perez you do realize that your sentiment that the Constitution applies to immigrants entering the country has nothing to do with, and has no bearing on the president's authority and responsibility to lead the country right? things like the specific power to govern and protect the country utilizing the resources and information available to the president, exist so he can actually do the job. Is it truly something you don't understand, or is it just more liberal dishonesty? Truly, I am perplexed. Sally yates' argument is ridiculous. it's tantamount to stating that the president cannot declare war, or sell nukes to iran, or enact sanctions against a truculent nation, because somehow our Constitution grants it's citizens the right to come here . The moratorium on allowing a specific group to enter America exists as a tool of national security, as a soviergn nation we exist by identifying threats and dealing with them. Regardless of who or what may be a threat at the time. was America's entry into WW2 an invalid ruse to discriminate against Shinto and Buddhists whom might one day wish to come to America? yeah... immigrants, once properly vetted, and in accordance with our laws, cannot be discriminated against, that in no way grants the global populace some right to come here. if the president deems you a threat, you can't come, that's it. once whatever threat diminishes and the moratorium is lifted, you are free to reapply to emigrate here. it's so simple even a leftist should get it.

[@h8today]

James Guilford You're assuming a lot of things. For starters, I'm not a Republican, so don't bother calling me partisan. Secondly, the Declaration of Independence is not a legally binding document, but a statement of intent. Further, you're taking two documents, the Declaration and the Bill of Rights, and pretending that arguments in one are meant to hold up the other on a worldwide scale. The US is not the policeman of the whole world, and we can't go to every country to ensure they give their people a fair trial. The idea that our founding fathers wanted indiscriminate immigration into the US is so far fetched that you might as well say that they wanted to return to a monarchy. Alexander Hamilton: "To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they put foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty." Who is giving up liberty on this issue? I'm not. No other American Citizen is being asked to. I do agree that the order went too far in asking that US Residents on Green cards be denied entry, but show me where the Bill of Rights and US Constitution declares that free movement into the USA won't be infringed. As far as Franklin saying "those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." You keep using that quote. I do not think it means what you think it means. www.npr.org/2015/03/02/390245038/ben-franklins-famous-liberty-safety-quote-lost-its-context-in-21st-century And Sally Yates, her JOB is to defend the orders of the US President. Her DUTY is to uphold the constitution. Don't confuse the two. The reason the senator asked "Who appointed you to the Supreme Court?" is because she is not a judge, she's a lawyer. She doesn't have the right to officially determine what is and isn't constitutional.

[@daviddalton9214]

Charles McKenna The problem was so easy even a leftist noticed it. The ban prohibited American citizens and people with legal documentation from entering the country which is constitutional. It's so simple even you should get it.

[@intellektualblackman5727]

It saddens me to see all the people in the comments section living in a bubble and not even realizing it.

[@faxmen09]

Ms Yates sent the Cruzer to go read Green Eggs and Ham. It's what he does best.

[@mattcastg5170]

Even better than these clips from the hearing shown in this video, came right at the end of Cruz's questioning with Yates when he asked her (in his usual smug, overwrought demeanor) if she was aware of any other time in history where the department of justice was ordered by the attorney general not to defend an Executive Order that DOJ's own office of legal counsel had already determined to be lawful. His expectation of course was to catch her off guard and force her to admit this hadn't happened before in history, and she freely conceded as much, that off the top of her head she could not recall such an instance, but then she said she also could not recall an instance in history where the White House had directed the office of legal counsel to withhold all information and details about a potential executive order from the Attorney Generals office and other top Justice officials until after that order had already been issued. She only found out about the order after seeing it in media reports. Her clear point being that all prior attorney's general were able to voice their concerns and recommend changes to an executive order to make it more legally sound long before it's ever issued, something that did not occur hear (where the White House was actually doing the opposite, in hiding the order from the AG).

[@mattcastg5170]

Cruz's reaction was cringe worthy, being initially speechless but not wanting to let her get the last word as his time ran out, stuttering out something about well that's because "partisan!!"

[@yogib8]

Go! Go Sally Go! , Ted you are NO match for the Hon. Sally Yates, she just mopped the floor with your raggedy behind...

[@dj37she38]

I love her!!!!

[@richardalexander5758]

Sally Yates Kicks Ass!!!

[@duckspeaker2702]

I'd bet any amount of money that most of the people saying "Yeah! Cruz got his ass handed to him!" have _absolutely no idea what they just watched or what it means_ so they just take the host's word for it

[@Chemical_Sax]

Duck Speaker I'd be willing to bet that if you're so easily presuming that people don't understand a basic conversation about constitutional laws then you don't understand it either. I'd also be willing to bet that the majority of people with even a middle school education can at the very least follow the debate enough to gather all the relevant information and take a side based on that information. I can make this bet because I'm just some dumb student from the UK who doesn't understand the majority of UK laws or politics, never mind those of the US, but I easily followed the debate going on here and was able to make an informed decision that Ted Cruz did indeed get schooled.

[@gritNglitter301]

Don't "f" with a Constitutional lawyer. I guess ole Ted didn't get the updated revision to that statute.

[@jackc.3079]

Very balanced dicussion honestly

[@TheSongDuck]

Sally Yates made Cruz look like the fool he is. I can watch this clip again and again, thanks. I watch your show everyday, great job!

[@sladelefty]

Better call Sally!

[@annprince5298]

Am in awe of this lady she is brilliant,she know her law,mind you was the deputy attorney general. She stood up for the Right!

[@robertbeckerbecker1354]

"Except he's so horrible for our country, it's hard to feel bad." Good one David.

[@paghal11]

His pointy nose bounced off his right shoulder after she smacked him upside the head the first time. Being shameless, he came back for more, thus getting his pointy nose bounced off his left shoulder with the follow up question. I do hope he keeps this up. It is so enjoyable to watch.

[@nociable]

Teddy DECIMATED to dust!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@dawnmarkey2194]

Well the supreme court, the authority of the land, ruled in our President's favor. So according to them, Mrs. Yates was wrong!

[@ReverendGreenLight]

If you try to talk down to Sally Yates, you're gonna have a bad time. Ted Cruz! Pizza! Pizza!

[@mohanpanickerpanicker8767]

Moments like this is what makes life worth living

[@dwaynerogers3101]

He was born in Canada and has a Spanish surname.

[@joeschmoe233]

Cruz brought up the law that authorized the executive order, and Yates did not recognize it. She then answered by referring to another law, which does not supersede the first. She then tried to argue that the order was unconstitutional, but Cruz pointed out that her argument was a partisan one, driven by her own policy views. She then claimed no court would enforce the order - which is contradicted by the fact that one actually did.

[@leesagrrl]

Thanx David. How about doing a nice Retrospective of "Cruz' Cringe Moments?" I'd love to see your Commentary on that!

[@DetroitAnalog]

Sally Yates... What a brilliant, capable person. I can see why she had to be fired.

[@RurouniStarchild]

Yates' counter was SAVAGE.

[@fivelinus432]

Bam! (Insert whip crack sound)

[@Thecanadianwitch]

you forgot the last bit where he asked her a question and she respeonds in the likes of not having been notified before it was sent

[@keithmorley7297]

Cruz went back to being a lawyer and got his clock cleaned!

[@RocDocOG]

We need more Sally Yates and no more Ted. Cruz.

[@commanderzero5811]

Cruz should have asked Yates why we have a visa statute that can't discriminate based on national origin. How do we keep NK army from coming in on a tourist visa?

[@leifcaspersen2888]

Ted Cruz should just have read Dr Seuss till her ears fell off.

[@locobrodie8810]

Has anyone looked into what his father was doing with Lee Harvey Oswald?

[@gatobakuniano]

Nooooooooo, You forgot the third rekt. He said that what she did was unprecedented, but she replied saying that overpassing her was also unprecedented, lol What a shame of politician and so called lawyer. Pathetic

[@barbaramccormack7994]

Oh ma goodness! Ted wasn't prepared for the cool calm and collected intelligence and veracity of this great and very honest lady. She was too too honest for Trump's liking. He just couldn't handle it, so he fired her unjustly, just like he did Comey.

[@automan7419]

Wasn't crushed! If you watch the entire thing you will see both parties are very sharp having a smart discussion on the subject with 2 different views.

[@deborahhoffman7394]

In essence, laws are intended to protect people, not harm them.

[@xanlysphynx8839]

This was great

[@TEEMILL81]

I love it. lmao

[@Zabardageegan]

Wish we have more senators with balls like Cruse.

[@annregan5284]

women need to rule the world.

[@brendamcloughlin7384]

I now know what 'he got torn a new one' really means.

[@MotherOfFerrets75]

Glove Slap!!!!! Hey Cruz you can take that! omg I was just rolling with laughter at Cruz. He was already a supplicating ass. Now even more so! It's beautiful! :)

[@williamolsen20]

I guess having a ivy league education does not always make you a good lawyer.

[@MalakianM2S]

You can see Cruz's training in the second bit. Being over assertive, posing a smirk, and trying to emphasize his point with head nods; thus creating a "sense" of superiority.

[@hydrogenroar]

One of the all time great ownings!

[@davidmelick6225]

Sally said she doesn't care about what one law says, because there is another law she thinks is more important, even though she agrees that the legal office ruled the authorization legal, she says she looks past written law and can read Trumps mind. Not what he wrote, which she agrees is legal, but she goes to what he was thinking which she FEELS is illegal. She reads his mind and knows it is thinking bad thoughts. If you think this is destroying Ted I would say it destroys her respect for the law, which is her profession. Most Senators at some time leave the room after their turn, that is normal. They have other things to do. Time for you to use your good sense and think about what is happening. I'm not crazy about Ted Cruz but this is not his destruction, it is closer to Sally destroying herself and her profession. The law is the law you can't judge by mind reading.

[@guyh6850]

I like the ease with which she wiped that smirk off his face

[@ICECREAMK1NG1-jw8ig]

So basically what i get from this is politicians don't give a shit about a countries safety, regardless who trying to implement what. Try quoting laws to ISIS see if they listen.

[@MiosPanties]

Where did Ted Cruz get his Law Degree? Trump University?

[@cultuuedpetri]

To me, Ted Cruz has always looked like a slightly more evolved blob fish. maybe one evolutionary step from a blob fish...*or maybe a blob just straps itself atop a human body, looking robot*

[@johnboy8429]

Do you what owned means? Because ted Cruz totally showed how incompetent Yates was, with his first question.

[@sereanaduwai8313]

Cruz attended Trump University where he studied LAW! He specialised in the subject of Bush Laywers.

[@kategallagher5610]

I saw one vid that ted was attempting to get a hug from his daughter and she pushed him away. Children have the best instincts

[@prideventues]

This is why most of his colleagues on the right or left dislike him. He has this arrogant attitude like he is such a great lawyer and because of his bias he makes himself look like a fool constantly.

[@y1521t21b5]

Bonus points for use of "trumps", with accompanying gesture for emphasis, to drive home the point @02:28

[@benvalencia3934]

love her

[@QuadirAli]

Got eeeeeeeeeeem!!!!!

[@rocked30]

Sally Yates seems really really smart, which unfortunately makes me even more disgusted that we don't have someone like her as our President.

[@alxholic]

did yates bait him in by first answering "not off the top of my head" ? lol she is a genius

[@automaticv]

she is totally out of league. she is not a supreme court judge. if she had ethical problems with the directive she had two legal options. let it be known that she had a problem with it and then enforced it, or resign. she did not have the right to overrule the legal direct order from the president. period

[@asokemaurya9261]

It would be interesting to have each Senator and Representative, at the federal and state levels, to be given an IQ test. In fact, we should extend this to anybody seeking any kind of nomination to the above positions.

[@berningsandwiches2662]

Somebody call 911. I'd like to report a murder.

[@Supraboii123]

[@JROLL1]

This was not a "fair fight", You have an intelligent Attorney going against a clown! Clown loses!

[@billlam6620]

Give this woman a pay rise!

[@tm13tube]

No, no. It's not painful. It's triumphant. Cruz is such an arrogant twit. I love this. "you refused ... led to your termination" Cruz thought he had her. Her reply ran circles around him. "arcane statute" Excellent.

[@TheAnimeotaku2k]

Ted Cruz graduated from Princeton as a LAWYER. What the fuck are u serious.

[@Adya_uk]

DP, you are becoming more like TYT with selective editing. If you see the entire video of the encounter, nobody got destroyed, and both raised valid points.
