Simon:
Her only option now is to resign.
That would be the ethical option but she isn't going to do the ethical thing.
There is no other outcome to this.
She can keep dragging her feet.
The court should not and cannot back down.
Agreed but, like I stated above, it's a chess game and moves have to be carefully weighed instead of rushed.
I predict a resignation in her future or else an impeachment.
Impeachment is not an option! If it's held up for a vote the same people who voted for her will take her side. That would give them an even bigger victory with major repercussions nationwide.
And, from her point of view, there is no reason to resign. She has the support of many who would think of her as a quitter if she were to resign.
Check and checkmate?
