White House Turns to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Food Stamp Aid Order
This past Friday, shortly after a national appellate court decided that the White House must completely finance food stamp payments, the administration turned to the nation's highest court in a further effort to halt the order.
A short time later, the supreme court released an emergency order provisionally halting complete food stamp payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand people rely on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers continue fighting, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's policies,” a senior official announced on social media around 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to stop a judge's order that it provide this month's entire food stamp assistance in the middle of a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
America's Top Court Releases Emergency Order Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Payments
The top court's decision was issued after the White House requested a US appellate court this past Friday to block a judicial directive mandating they issue the upcoming complete food stamp aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt got rejected, the administration sought help from the supreme court in a additional bid to block the order to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements.
