Nifong should be forced to resign if he won't do it voluntarily.

He's not gonna resign, and if I understand the rules correctly, the only person who can remove him is the judge of the Superior Court.

Unfortunately, that person is one of his buddies and is protecting him, refusing to act on a petition for his removal filed a while back until after the bar proceedings. The law required him to act on the petition within 30 days. He claims that issuing a stay that will be in effect for a good six months met the definintion of "acting."

Hard to believe that is what the legislature intended ...

That's what I figured, they always have their friends that stick together. Unless the voters throw him out he's probably not going anywhere and he'll be free to do this to someone else.

My understanding is that the state bar can disbar him for a specified time, or permanently. Not sure if that means he could NOT legally continue in his elected office, but I would think that would be enough to do in der Nifongfuhrer.
