and they should keep in mind that *nobody* (or at least nobody whose opinion is worth a shit) looks at the Saturday Night Massacre and thinks Nixon came out of that as the good guy

(and that the guy who ultimately caved to Nixon's corrupt and illegal demands is remembered as a disgrace to his office, if at all)

If you are being instructed to carry out unlawful orders, DO NOT RESIGN -- refuse.
