I am glad I am not a staffer being asked to give advice. It
is hard for me to know what I would tell Al Franken. If he wishes to
model good behavior, should he resign? Should he resign and ask Governor
Dayton to choose a woman to replace him as a symbolic, and probably helpful,
gesture? Or should he stay in the Senate and face the ethics probe? Most
people in his position would resign as a way to end the
"trouble." The behavior we see most often is an out of court settlement and a
resignation. On the other hand, going before the panel, having already
apologized, we would get to see a public figure take responsibility for their
past actions and accept whatever happens next.
