With a potential end to the government shutdown in sight, the Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a freeze on a federal judge’s ruling that would require the Trump administration to fully fund the SNAP food program in November.

The decision means the government, for now, does not have to distribute about $4 billion in additional SNAP funding as required by Rhode Island-based U.S. District Judge John McConnell. The Supreme Court block remains in place until midnight on Thursday.

The case would likely become moot if the shutdown ends, as the bipartisan bill to reopen the government would fully fund the SNAP program through September of next year. The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the Senate-passed measure to end the record-long shutdown.

I want to point out a detail here:

collapsed inline media

The line "is referred to the Court" means that this case was yanked out of Justice Jackson's hands by at least 5 other votes.

If Jackson had turned the case over voluntarily, it would say "and by her referred to the Court" instead.

Huh, TIL. That is a curious legal wording nuance that I was not aware of.

I'm beginning to think the Supreme Court may not get us out of this mess.

You know those overbearing fundamentalist Christian parents who believe everything is a sin, but they consider themselves beyond reproach, and the sinning is *your* fault? That's who's in charge of the government.

It's basic narcissistic personality disorder.
