I don’t know why he would resign. He may have perjured himself to get the seat–clearly he values it highly. And when you’ve got a valuable thing, you don’t just give it away for free.

I had the same reaction to the Washington Post’s editorial calling on him to resign. Wouldn’t it be convenient if these unsavory people just left the scene? Sure it would, especially for Democrats. But not caring about other people’s convenience is part of what makes unsavory people who they are. And Democrats could have prevented all of this from happening.
