Judge Wilkinson’s opinion is a reminder of what it means to put the rule of law over authoritarian impulses, country over party and ideology, and the constitution over drinking the KoolAid of a demagogue. Read it.
17 Apr 2025
Difficult to overstate how remarkable the Wilkinson opinion is. For seasoned readers of these opinions, the tone and substance are unmistakably unique and severe. This was not a normal opinion for Wilkinson. He knew and clearly hoped the entire country would read this—and I think it will easily be a legacy-defining opinion for his entire career.
It reads as if he knew it would be when he wrote it. He delivered. I hope the country heeds his warning.
