Administration Seeks Help from High Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order
Last Friday, immediately after a national appellate court ruled that the government is required to pay for food stamp disbursements, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a additional bid to prevent the order.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an emergency order immediately suspending entire food stamp funds, which close to 42 million Americans depend on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys continue working, continuously, to protect and further our agenda,” a senior official declared on social media around 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they issue the upcoming entire Snap assistance amid a federal closure, and had their request rejected hours later.
