11. I would be disappointed, but I could still accept her being a Republican,

were that to turn out to be the case. At least I'd know there are SOME Republicans in public life that have character...principles...morals...integrity, or whatever you'd like to call it.

But who am I kidding? I'd bet my house that she isn't. She was impressive AF.

12. She is a Democrat. Many in her home state of Georgia hope she will seek

a major elected office in the future.

"Sally Yates saw her public profile soar after she defied President Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban. Now, Georgia Democratic operatives and politicians are hoping the former acting attorney general will cash in some of that political capital with a gubernatorial run.

Yates received a standing ovation Wednesday night at a panel on race relations in Atlanta during one of her first public appearances since the end of her tumultuous 10-day tenure as the acting attorney general.

“I don’t think you can think of any possible candidates in Georgia and not mention Sally Yates’ name right now,” said Tharon Johnson, who was the national southern regional director for Obama’s 2012 campaign and a former adviser to Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed. “She's a symbol of hope and resistance when it comes to standing up to Donald Trump.”
......

Yates’ lack of stated interest has not stopped Georgia Democrats from pushing her to mount a run for the governor's office in 2018, especially because some star power could help boost the party's chances in the red state. Georgia hasn't elected a Democratic governor since 1998.
.......

“The buzz around here is she is a great candidate that can really make a case to get to the heart of Georgia Democrat’s problem with moderate rural white voters,” he said.

State Sen. Elena Parent of Atlanta, who has introduced a resolution looking to commend Yates in the state senate, called her “a hometown hero” who stood up for the constitution.

“She is a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance sweeping this country, and if this next election is a referendum on Trump, then that's a very good place to be," Parent said.
......

Gov. Nathan Deal, a former Democrat turned Republican, is unable to seek re-election due to term limits and Democrats are increasingly seeing the state as a possible battleground in the future.

Johnson mentioned Yates’ bipartisan support when she was nominated to be deputy attorney general, her criminal justice record and deep roots in Georgia as qualities that make her a strong potential candidate.
......

Her husband, Comer Yates, unsuccessfully ran for Congress in Georgia's fourth district in 1996 as a centrist Democrat."....(more at link)
