Mark Wolf, appointed by Reagan in 1985, wrote in The Atlantic that
he had expected to remain on the court for the rest of his life but felt compelled to step down. Wolf wrote that he was giving up his lifetime appointment so he can speak openly against President Donald Trump, whom he accuses of undermining judicial independence and using the law to reward allies and target opponents.
