The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Wolf had to resign because he's biased and showing a non-judicial temperament.

In the word of wzambon, horseshit.

He resigned for the reasons he stated. His ethical framework required him to maintain that judicial mindset, looking at the law and facts as presented to him in court, and make his judgements based solely on the law and facts.

And his position prevented him from speaking out publicly about the politics of the day. He had to maintain that judicial temperament at all times, in spite of his opinions on various subjects.

What you are accusing him of - the loss of judicial impartiality - is exactly what Trump is looking for in his judicial nominees. Persons who put their political preferences ahead of the law and facts. People who put Trump’s interest ahead of the law and facts.

Or, in the common parlance of today, every MAGA accusation is a confession.
