December’s Dishonorable Conduct Award Winner: Judge Indira Talwani
19th December 2025
California and Rhode Island judges won our October and November “Dishonorable Conduct Award” for their judicial misbehavior.
The December award winner, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, is a super legislator who identifies as a federal judge. In a ruling in July, Talwani, a Biden appointee in Massachusetts—call us shocked—tried to override Congress’ constitutional authority over the federal purse and force taxpayers to subsidize Planned Parenthood.
Some judges who have tried to use injunctions to change the law were ultimately reversed by the Supreme Court. Talwani was so out of line, even the very liberal U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit caught it first. In a Dec. 8 order, it administratively stayed her injunction.
