you called me on that one!
Yes, Elliot Richardson and William Ruckelshaus were Republican appointments, and yes, they had the integrity to step down rather than do the wrong thing. So, ROBERT BORK did it for them - yes, THAT Robert Bork - says all you need to know about him (but there's more - thank God he never got onto the Supreme Court!).
And, yes, you shot a cannon ball through my balloon of hope - counting on integrity to step up in the current balance of leadership. Your question: "a single Republican who has the authority" - GAWD, name a single Republican who has the INTEGRITY to step up and make things right!

But - we've gotta' keep up the fight!
