US supreme court issues emergency order blocking full Snap food aid payments
(www.theguardian.com)
Is it guillotine time yet?
It has been for since the mid 1980s.
At what point does John Roberts grow a sense of decency?
Lmao. Yeah right. These people are trash and at this point they have to not only know it but enjoy it .
Roberts would have to be a decent human in order to have any sense of decency or justice.
the man, along with all his cohorts, are ghouls who feed upon the flesh of America like cursed beasts.
This needs more context.
This temporary order was issued by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. It doesn’t address the merits of the case. It’s a procedural step meant to preserve the status quo. The order only lasts through the weekend and is designed to give the appeals court time to review the issue and issue its own decision, likely on Monday.
In the context of the 2025 government shutdown, it’s a remarkably strategic and symbolic move. By issuing even a short stay, Justice Jackson ensures that it is drawing public attention to the fact that the Trump administration is actively trying to block those payments. It’s a cautious legal action with enormous practical and political impact.
Honestly, given her position on the court, it's a brilliant move that leans into the spirit of the Democrats fight.
This is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen the Supreme Court do lately, and that’s saying quite a bit.
Ah, perfect. Starve the poor, the poor revolt, send in the army and declare martial law.
He who becomes a Prince through the favour of the people should always keep on good terms with them; which it is easy for him to do, since all they ask is not to be oppressed
seems like this administration has forgotten there are rules to leading. wonder how much longer until they are reminded of that.
They already had a plan in place to fund SNAP just in case this happened. The amount of bullshit is incredible.
This is exactly how SCOTUS was designed to work. This is fine.
