We old phartz remember the "Saturday Night Massacre". Nixon ordered AG Elliot Richardson to fire Archie Cox. Richardson refused. *poof* Assistant AG Bill Ruckelshaus was next in line. He refused to fire Cox too. *poof* Next up was the Solicitor General, Bork. Bork did as bidden and fired Cox. In later years, Bork said he did it, because, otherwise, Nixon would keep going down the chain of command, firing everyone, until someone fired Cox, and the DoJ would be crippled by so many honchos being canned, in one evening.
