A federal judge in Boston resigned this weekend in protest, citing a need to “speak out” against actions taken by President Trump.
U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf wrote an essay in The Atlantic explaining why he stepped down after four decades on the bench.
“The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out,” Wolf wrote. “Silence, for me, is immediately intolerable.”
Judge Mark Wolf joins WBUR’s Morning Edition to continue the conversation.
This segment aired on November 11, 2025. Audio will be available soon.
