Government Seeks Help from High Court Following Failed Attempt to Block Food Stamp Payment Directive
This past Friday, immediately after a federal appeals court determined that the White House needs to completely finance food stamp payments, the administration turned to the supreme court in a new effort to halt the order.
A short time later, the highest court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 thousand Americans rely on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop working, day and night, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” the attorney general stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to stop a judicial decision that it issue this month's complete nutritional payments during a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.

The supreme court's order came after the administration requested a US appellate court on Friday to stop a judicial directive mandating they issue November’s entire food stamp benefits throughout a federal closure.
After that request to halt faced refusal, the government appealed to the high court in a additional bid to prevent the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance payments.
