Reagan-appointed federal judge Mark Wolf has resigned from the bench in Massachusetts, and his explanation is blunt: he can no longer bear the ethical constraints that prevent judges from speaking out publicly while Trump dismantles the rule of law.

Trump and his ilk are undermining the law to cleanse the US of those they deem undesirable. This guy could undermine the law to save those people.
There’s a bit of a difference between those two types of people.
Additionally, If the law is so easily discarded by those in power, then maybe the law isn’t worth defending at all. His activism would have been more effective as a sitting judge. To me he seems like a conservative judge who wishes conservatism still had a mask to hide behind.
