Two Federal District Court Judges order a hold on SNAP cutoff

[task0778]

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday afternoon blocked the Trump administration from suspending all food aid for millions of Americans amid the ongoing government shutdown, in a case brought by a group of US cities, nonprofit organizations and a trade union.

And at almost the same time, in a separate but similar case, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that the government must continue to fund the program that helps low-income households stave off food insecurity, in a case brought by the Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and the District of Columbia and three governors who sued the administration.

Well, now that two district court judges said it I guess it will be ignored twice as hard.

Slapped down in 3, 2, 1.

I do not believe that either judge has the authority to usurp Congress' power of the purse, that is unconstitutional and a higher court will overturn both decisions based on a clear violation of the separation of powers. Trump can't do anything about it and neither can any judge or justice, up to and including the Supreme Court. Congress has stop effing around and do their job.

This smells like political grandstanding by a couple of rogue judges that know full well they can't legally do what they ruled. Sad.

Board Dimwingers are idiots. They believe anything their handlers feed them.

Nostra did not know, prior to this thread, that there was a $6 billion contingency fund for SNAP.
He also didn't know that Democrats were the ones suing to release this money. Now Nostra is being incoherent, hurling insults because he wants to divert attention for his lack of knowledge.

 

[HikerGuy83]

What an idol. The judge ordered Donald Trump‘s administration to pay this money, even during the shut down because the money was already set aside.

I love it....you want to call someone an idiot but misspell it.

You can't make this stuff up.

Yeah, a real idol.

Sure thing, Short Bus.

There were problems/inefficiencies with our SNAP program. There were problems/inefficiencies with some of our tariff relationships. There were some problems/inefficiencies in our military and our federal government.

Yet an intelligent person knows you don't solve problems by just pulling the rug out from under people and laughing. That just creates chaos and perhaps new problems.

There's more than one way to do things, more than one way to fix things -- true story! -- but all this administration knows is to beat on it like a spoiled eight year old brat.

Cards working?

 

[JWBooth]

A court ordering spending that has not been appropriated. How’s that supposed to work?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Churches, food pantries, other charities. Kids will not be going hungry.

Yep, not arguing, but those things cant handle the influx of 42 million people. So for now, let's just feed the hungry people.

 

[ThisIsMe]

No one goes hungry in this country.

If there are children going hungry, their parents should be imprisoned. Or deplatformed. Or something.

Millions of kids have food insecurity, and millions go hungry.

 

[Blaster]

Where do they get the money during a shutdown?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Why don’t Republicans give Democrats a CR Democrats want? That’s all it takes.

Because the CR the dems want will contain every concession they want. They want total capitulation from the repubs.

Why not just sign the CR that just keeps things going as they have been until a deal can be worked out?

Speaking of LOSERS isn't it funny how MAGAts, even when they think they've "won" are still losers?
After a year of incessant crowing about some "historic win" and this imagined "mandate from the people" now all we're hearing one year later is "WHAAAAH! WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE AND IT'S THE DEMICRAT'S FAULT!"

MAGGOts like you are totally clueless.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Speaking of LOSERS

Did you mean to say "the loser is speaking..."?

When they feed you they can also choose to not feed you
Utterly brilliant and totally correct

Why don’t Republicans give Democrats a CR Democrats want? That’s all it takes.

They are the majority party. Democrats are the minority party. Therefore, the democrats should be offering up compromises the Republicans can accept so they can end the Schumer Shutdown.

Yeah. Blaming the minority minority sense.
Face it. Trump’s shuitdown is not looking good for Republicans.
