Administration Appeals to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court determined that the White House is required to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a new bid to prevent the ruling.
A short time later, the highest court handed down an emergency order provisionally halting complete food stamp benefits, which close to 42 hundred thousand Americans depend on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, continuously, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” the attorney general declared on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had petitioned the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming entire food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
America's Top Court Grants Emergency Order Stopping Entire Nutrition Assistance Benefits
The supreme court's order came after the government petitioned a US appellate court on Friday to halt a court ruling requiring them to issue the upcoming entire nutritional assistance amid a federal closure.
Following that petition to halt was denied, the White House appealed to the high court in a further effort to block the ruling to fully fund nutrition assistance benefits.
