Government Seeks Help from High Court After Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court determined that the government needs to pay for nutritional assistance benefits, the White House appealed to the nation's highest court in a new attempt to block the ruling.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an urgent ruling provisionally halting full food stamp funds, which close to 42 million Americans depend on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys continue battling, continuously, to defend and advance the president's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the federal appeals court to block a judge's order requiring them to distribute this month's entire nutritional benefits amid a federal closure, and faced refusal hours later.
