White House Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, just moments following a national appellate court ruled that the White House needs to pay for food stamp disbursements, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a further effort to block the ruling.
A short time later, the highest court issued an emergency order provisionally halting complete food stamp funds, which nearly 42 million individuals count on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys will not stop battling, continuously, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judge's order mandating they distribute this month's entire food stamp payments amid a federal closure, and faced refusal that afternoon.
