Two Federal District Court Judges order a hold on SNAP cutoff

One SNAP welfare entitler DEMANDED taxpayers feed her 7 kids by 7 different men. So 7 deadbeat dads can't feed the kids???
 
Children going hungry isnt an emergency?
No one goes hungry in this country.

If there are children going hungry, their parents should be imprisoned. Or deplatformed. Or something.
 
Democrats are not refusing this particular money to flow. They were in court asking the judge to let this money flow. Trump’s minions didn’t want it to flow.

As of November 1st, there are no funds available to pay SNAP recipients, just as there are no funds to pay our military, or air controllers.
Along with the above employees of the DIH, CDC and the WIC Program have already been furloughed and operations suspended

There is no “contingency” fund per se.

But let’s pretend that the provisions of the funding for SNAP — involving approximately 5.25 billion (currently) for shortfalls — were what these judges were claiming to order the President to release were to get released. How long would that last?

About 20 days.

And the set-aside funds are for shortfalls. It provides for the secretary to then direct the states to lower the allotments to recipients. It doesn’t say diddly shit about using the funds to cover congressional inaction such as a government shutdown.

I would suppose that the judges are all about being kind to the poverty stricken — even though the law doesn’t grant any court any authority to demand that the Secretary or the President make use of funds set aside for other purposes.

Once again, federal judges aren’t legislators. And they don’t have any actual authority to do what those two just “ordered.”
How about the send each state $50,000 and tell to make it last.
 
Why don’t Republicans give Democrats a CR Democrats want? That’s all it takes.
Elections have consequences and one of them is that the majority doesn't have to surrender to the minority when it engages in parliamentary maneuvers.

It's called Democracy, ya know, the thing Democrats are always accusing President Trump of trying to destroy.

Here endth the lesson.
