if you actually read the article he's becoming an activist against Trump. Something he is not allowed to do while holding the position
The point being made here is why the fuck is everyone who is in a position to do fucking anything to stop the fascists following the rules so punctiliously, when the fascists demonstrably do not give a flying fuck about the rules?
Bc that's the point. If you stoop to their level then you are no better than them. The law means something to this man. He will fight how he chooses to to maintain that law
Trump and his ilk are undermining the law to cleanse the US of those they deem undesirable. This guy could undermine the law to save those people.
There's a bit of a difference between those two types of people.
Additionally, If the law is so easily discarded by those in power, then maybe the law isn't worth defending at all. His activism would have been more effective as a sitting judge. To me he seems like a conservative judge who wishes conservatism still had a mask to hide behind.
