Many other states didn't move as fast as California, and didn't distribute SNAP funds before the beloved SCOTUS issued a freeze on SNAP payments pending the Trump administration appeal. https://www.koco.com/article/appeals-court-ruling-trump-snap/69292456
Judge Jackson, what are you doing? I thought you were all cool and that.
Someone in another thread posted this link, which basically opines that because the conservative justices would very likely have overruled her denial of a stay and then offered an open-ended stay regardless of any other factors, Judge Jackson jumped in to limit the stay to 48 hours, forcing a quick decision. It's a bit more complex than that, of course, but the writer thinks the wording of the stay itself is highly unusual.
Well worth the read, even for non-lawyers, and easy to understand.
Thanks for sharing this. I kind of figured there would be some legal or strategic reason Justice Jackson would move this way. Seems she was stuck between a rock and a hard place and acted to try and enact the least worst option.
No problem, I thought the same. She's very consistent and I did not see her doing that unless there was an upside to it. ~~Apparently, however, in the interim between my comment and yours the full court has decided and the SNAP funding is blocked anyway.~~ Props to @silence7@slrpnk.net who first posted the link.
Edited to correct and add: My bad, it was another reference to Justice Jackson's extended stay and the full court has NOT ruled yet. My apologies.
Ugh this is what I was worried about like is money really hitting accounts across the board? I guess not, this is a mess.
