The supreme court has issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full Snap food aid payments.

The high court’s order came after the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to block was denied, the Trump administration turned to the supreme court in a further attempt to block the order to fully fund Snap food aid payments.

The application to stay reads: “If forced to transfer funds to Snap to make full November allotments, there is no means for the government to recoup those expenditures – which is quintessential irreparable harm. Once those payments are made, there is every indication that the States will promptly disburse them. And once disbursed, the government will be un-able to recover any funds. Worse, these harms will only compound if the decision below stands.

    thomas and alito both, are obviously paid for. everyone else on the bench should have their entire lives upended in a very thorough fbi investigation, uncover and publicize any and all skeletons they have hidden in the closest then impeach as necessary.

      Thomas is definitely a proven corrupt justice and a traitor, and his wife is also a proven traitor. Alito is an American hating traitor, but I don’t recall him doing anything that’s actually illegal, although I could easily be wrong. I hope I am, because if there’s some way to toss him in jail - for his CRIMES, not his politics - then I’m happy to be wrong.
