It's often said of someone who disagrees vehemently with the organization he works for that he should quit in protest.

But why?

If you disagree with what's happening, why not stay and raise holy hell? Isn't that more useful and courageous and even honorable?

If she really disagreed with her Republican colleagues, then she should have stayed in voted against them, cut a chink in their obstructionary armor.

If you're going to disappoint your Republican colleagues by leaving the Senate, why not disappoint them by staying and showing greater independence from them?

Even becoming an independent and caucasing with the Democrats?

The good news is there's better than good chance a Dem will take her seat.

As far as her statements in her resignation letter, it would have been a hoot if instead she announced she was switching to Dem ticket.

Her future I'm sure is already decided and confirmed. She doesn't strike me as one who would jump first and check for safety net later.

You have to admit, the looney

All those filibusters; all those dem nominations sitting in purgatory; all those 400 + bills Pelosi passed for naught.

It is really difficult to disagree with your assessment.

I'd be happy if she took her time and used it, burning in hell.

She was the sort of useful idiot the Republican Party needed when they needed to appear open to sane and/or caring individuals.

Civil. What an asshole she was/is.

I just hit this in the news section.

How many times has this woman sat with the filibuster (kinda) holding up dem nominations and such?

Any way:
