White House Appeals to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, just moments following a US appeals court ruled that the administration is required to fully fund food stamp disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the US top court in a new bid to block the directive.
A short time later, the highest court released an urgent ruling temporarily blocking entire food stamp benefits, which close to 42 million individuals count on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, continuously, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer announced on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had petitioned the appellate court to stop a judge's order requiring them to distribute the upcoming complete food stamp assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.
The High Court Releases Urgent Ruling Blocking Full Food Stamp Payments
The supreme court's order was issued after the government requested a federal appeals court on Friday to stop a judge’s order that it issue November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to halt got rejected, the White House turned to the supreme court in a further effort to halt the ruling to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements.
