Ted, thanks for your thoughtful response.

My real point is that he should have not resigned but, instead, gone through the Ethics Committee Review as he had requested and as is the usual procedure. After all, the accusations against him were not of rape or violence or Pedophilia or anything else that might have been considered criminal.

I can’t say why he decided to resign. But I honestly believe it had absolutely nothing to do with his feeling any sense of guilt. I guess we’ll never know.

Here’s another piece I read this morning, and seems to echo the prevailing feelings pretty much across the board with the exception of those Democratic Senators that led the charge for him to resign at once.

Thanks again, Ted.
