Nichols's USPS Ballot Injunction Now A Written Order
The memorandum opinion, entered September 13, backs the injunction with reasoning and leaves Section 3 of Trump's order as the rule's only surviving piece.
- The Memorandum Opinion, entered September 13, accompanies the injunction Judge Nichols issued in DSCC v. Trump.
- LULAC's case, 26-cv-01132, and the NAACP's, 26-cv-01151, still hold their injunctions granted in full.
- USPS remains barred from enforcing its August 21 rule, 91 Fed. Reg. 54,966, published August 26.
Why it matters: A written opinion does what a bare order cannot: it gives the losing side grounds to appeal.
