Maybe we can call it "Marcia's Law"

Washington Township (Morris County) Mayor Kevin Walsh will plead not guilty to charges that he physically assaulted a woman in his home on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  According to published reports, Walsh grabbed her throat and arms as he tried to force her to the floor.  This raises an interesting question: while politicians seem to believe elected officials charged with corruption must resign their office immediately, should the same standard apply to politicians who face assault charges?
