Administration Turns to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Food Stamp Aid Order
Last Friday, just moments after a national appellate court determined that the White House is required to completely finance food stamp benefits, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a additional bid to halt the directive.
A short time later, the top US court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance payments, which close to 42 thousand Americans count on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers persist in battling, continuously, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” the attorney general announced on digital channels just after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling requiring them to provide November’s complete nutritional payments amid a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal that afternoon.
US Supreme Court Grants Urgent Ruling Blocking Full Food Stamp Benefits
The high court’s decision followed the White House requested a US appellate court on Friday to stop a judge’s order requiring them to issue this month's full monthly Snap assistance amid a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a new bid to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance payments.
