[GOT] Instead of Trant, if Joffrey had commanded Ser Barristan Selmy to tear Sansa's clothes and hit her, how would the situation have played out?

Tl, dr: Selmy's resignation delays but does not prevent Sansa's beating 

He's a professional with professional integrity; of course he'd refuse. His "resignation" would play out similarly, under less public circumstances. Sansa would probably avoid a beating on account of the Kingsguard being predisposed with Selmy's resignation... this time, but Joffrey would probably make up for it later, and with interest.
