LOADING ERROR LOADINGA federal judge appointed to the bench in 1985 by President Ronald Reagan announced his resignation over the weekend in a damning public letter, excoriating the Trump administration for its assault on the rule of law. U.S. District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf didn’t hide behind niceties in the missive, published by The Atlantic on Sunday, instead stating his opinion bluntly. The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. “What Nixon did episodically and covertly, knowing it was illegal or improper, Trump now does routinely and overtly,” he wrote. He told The New York Times that he now plans to speak out on the Trump administration’s attacks on due process, which he couldn’t ethically do as a judge.
