> A senior Reagan appointed trial judge said he resigned Friday in order to speak out against the Trump administration’s “assault on the rule of law.”
> “President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment,” Mark Wolf wrote Sunday in the Atlantic. “This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench.”
> “As I watched in dismay and disgust from my position on the bench, I came to feel deeply uncomfortable operating under the necessary ethical rules that muzzle judges’ public statements and restrict their activities,” Wolf wrote. “Day after day, I observed in silence as President Trump, his aides, and his allies dismantled so much of what I dedicated my life to.”
Some pretty powerful words from Mark Wolf.

The Tea Party “movement” was the beginning of the downfall for traditional Republicans, then once maga started labeling all of them RINOs was the last straw. What a bunch of nationalists
