Prominent conservative judge resigns, calling Trump 'uniquely dangerous' Mark Wolf, a Reagan-appointed federal judge, is resigning after four decades on the bench, and heโ€™s sounding the alarm. In an essay published by The Atlantic, he wrote, โ€œThe White Houseโ€™s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.โ€ Wolf shared additional context and more of his concerns with Amna Nawaz. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
