White House Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order
On Friday, just moments following a national appellate court ruled that the White House needs to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the ruling.
A short time later, the highest court issued an urgent ruling temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 thousand Americans rely on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop working, around the clock, to protect and further our policies,” the attorney general stated on social media around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the US appeals court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they distribute this month's complete Snap benefits amid a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
