My Take

What strikes me about Sally Yates is the arc of a hometown lawyer who climbed from the University of Georgia all the way to Deputy Attorney General. There is something quietly admirable about a career built on procedure, principle, and persistence rather than spotlight. Rising from US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia to a national post under President Obama is no small feat, and it suggests a person who earned trust the hard way. I find myself drawn to public servants like her, people who treat the law as a calling rather than a stepping stone. Atlanta clearly raised someone with backbone.
