White House Appeals to Top Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court ruled that the administration is required to pay for food stamp payments, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a new bid to block the directive.
Within hours, the highest court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting full food stamp payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand Americans count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel will not stop battling, around the clock, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the attorney general declared on social media just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the federal appeals court to block a court ruling that it provide the upcoming full monthly food stamp payments amid a federal closure, and faced refusal later the same day.
