That's weak. Her homeboys stood up for her - big deal. Her job was to defend the Justice Department's position. If she could not in good conscience do so, she had a moral and ethical obligation to tender her resignation.
Morality and ethics don't EXCUSE you - they compel you. They are not supposed to be convenient. IGNORING them is convenient. Living by them is hard.

Remember that county clerk who wouldn't do HER job and issue marriage licenses? Like that - only on the other foot. Did a moral or ethical disagreement excuse her? If not, why not?
