Mr. Meltzer played a leading role in the administration’s efforts to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and related policies affecting terrorism detainees.
He was also the White House’s main contact with the Justice Department’s powerful Office of Legal Counsel, which evaluates whether proposed policies would be lawful.

There must be something worth finding out.
People don’t resign from such a high position so they can go “back to the academic world.”
That’s just laughable.

In addition, Mr. Meltzer, who teaches courses on the federal courts at Harvard, helped prepare Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor for her confirmation hearings – a role he may reprise in his final weeks by working with Mr. Obama’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee, which the president expected to be as announced as soon as Monday. This may be why he is resigning?

Looks like a poor excuse.
I am not buying that is the real reason. Because prepping for the confirmation with the democrats in power is such a big task?

Yes your right, he is going to go back to Harvard resume his teaching of socialist ideas law. With this bunch one never knows what is really the truth! IMO!

You got it, you beat me to it.
You know, this is about this guy’s failure to get the job done. Good news for us.
Shows that Bush did such a dang good job of setting this all up it is nearly impossible to unwind
