AP dead or Obi dead?
From what I understand, it has to be someone from within the Justice department. Also, because Dana Boente was confirmed by the Senate (when being appointed as US attorney) he can sign FISA warrants.
The irony is incredible. Here's Senator Sessions questioning Sally Yates during her confirmation hearing. He asks her if she's willing to do the exact thing she did yesterday: &t=0m34s
Unless we have a constitutional lawyer here that isn't going to happen. Going to have to wait and let the courts decide.
It should be pretty unambiguious. Does the Constitution address the rights of foreign nationals to enter the USA?
Except that she admitted that the OLC found it lawful, and her main justification for not defending it was that it is not "just". Her job is to defend any law that can be reasonably defended. Her statment only said "I am not convinced it is lawful".If she was not comfortable doing her job, she should have quit.
She has a right to do the job as she sees fit and she was willing to face the consequences.She knew she was being replaced shortly so she had nothing to worry about.I don't know what's so controversial from either POV.

She actually has to do the job the way her boss (Trump) tells her to. And she certainly can't decide to not do her job.Not controversial, but stupid. I think we can all agree that the reason she did what she did was to make noise and get attention for her cause.Any bets for how long it will take before she runs for office?
