Supremes continue to bend the knee - Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments

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.

The Associated Press did a poor job of explaining the facts. In my opinion, Justice Brown-Jackson did the best thing in a difficult situation. She could have referred the administration's appeal up to the full court or issue what is a temporary administrative stay back down to an appeals court for a final determination at that level. Given the current full courts penchant for pacifying Dump, in my opinion, her issuance of the temporary stay was prudent.

In an order late Friday night, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the pause will remain in effect until the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issues a judgment on the matter. Jackson is the justice assigned to emergency applications out of the 1st circuit, and her order did not refer the matter to the full Supreme Court.
