For such interest as it might be to you, I resigned from DOJ after a 25 year career over its decision not to defend the judgment in its favor my office (the USAO for EDVA) won in the Fourth Circuit in the Dickerson case. Some but hardly all of the same issues of fidelity to the Constitution and the role of insubordination were involved there as well. I wrote the piece after Sally Yates' refusal to enforce Trump's immigration policies but, at the same time, not resign. https://www.crimeandconsequences.com/crimblog/2017/01/sally-yates-and-me.html
