Government Turns to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Block Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, immediately after a US appeals court ruled that the White House is required to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a additional effort to block the directive.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an emergency order provisionally halting full nutrition assistance funds, which approximately 42 thousand people rely on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys persist in working, day and night, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the top legal officer announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had requested the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling mandating they issue November’s complete food stamp assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
