BOSTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.
A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked the appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
BOSTON (AP) — Residents in some U.S. states began to receive their full SNAP food aid Friday as an appeals court left in place, for now, an order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to fund the monthly benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown.
Ketanji Brown Jackson Issued the order. When we hold the criminals in SCOTUS to account for their crimes, she must not be pardoned for this. She chose to starve Americans in violation of law and deference to a criminal fascist regime.
She is on the Menu. We won’t forget.
IMPORTANT EDIT @Hagenman@lemmy.world pointed out that there appears to be some maddening legal strategy at play to prevent the rest of the corrupt, illegitimate court from making the situation worse. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

At least we’re learning (hopefully).
From other thread, there may be some 4D chess going on by her:

Interesting.
Pleasantly conspiratorial, plausible rationale, hitting critical mass and linked… That feels a lot like old Reddit.
