Interim Attorney General Sally Yates received plenty of well deserved criticism for instructing the DOJ to refuse to defend Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees. “I am not convinced” wasn’t a good enough reason to defy the order. Go figure! Yates got the boot from Trump for her troubles, but outspoken Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke doesn’t think that’s punishment enough for Yates’ insubordination:

Wait … what? Sedition? Really?
