I really don't get how government officials quitting in protest helps anything at this point.
So the only judges or prosecutors or mid-level bureaucrats standing between civilians and total authoritarian carte blanche are going to abdicate whatever power they have left? That seems like exactly what the authoritarians want!
That strategy made sense a decade ago, but it's become increasingly less admirable or, in my mind, effective.
I get them refusing to follow orders. That seems good. But then, like, refuse to follow orders and let them fire your ass. Make it their problem. Hell, even just showing up for work each day and doing absolutely nothing seems better than quitting in protest.
