Administration Turns to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Block Snap Payment Directive
Last Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court determined that the White House must pay for nutritional assistance payments, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a additional bid to halt the directive.
Within hours, the supreme court released an emergency order immediately suspending entire food stamp payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand individuals rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys will not stop working, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on social media around 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had petitioned the US appeals court to overturn a judge's order requiring them to issue this month's entire food stamp payments amid a US federal government shutdown, and was denied hours later.

Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the administration turned to the nation's top court in a new effort to prevent the ruling to completely finance nutrition assistance disbursements.
