Mike Davis Urges Judge Talwani's Impeachment Over 4-Week Block on Trump Voting Rule

Summary
Mike Davis called for U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani to be impeached after she issued a temporary restraining order that could delay Trump's finalized election-security rule for up to four weeks.
The argument centers on Talwani's handling of litigation over Trump's order directing DOJ, DHS and USPS to develop measures including citizenship verification and mail ballots only for verified citizens.
Davis says the Supreme Court on Aug. 24 had already halted Talwani's injunction in a related suit, finding the states lacked standing and that no final rule yet existed, making her subsequent actions a defiance of that ruling.
Because TROs generally are not immediately appealable, he argues the latest order is a tactic to run out the clock before the midterms and keep the rule from taking effect in time.
The dispute follows lawsuits by 23 states, the District of Columbia and the League of Women Voters, underscoring a broader fight over federal election-administration powers ahead of November.
