This is the part I don't understand. Maybe it goes to direct wording of what administration said but reported thus
Complying with the lower court
The Trump administration’s emergency request to the justices came hours after the USDA told states that it was working to comply with the ruling to fully fund the program that was issued a day earlier by US District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island.
So if I was appeals court I'd just say well they're going to comply so case is dismissed it's a moot point.
Seems I read somewhere though wording said while case was appealed which really makes no sense either.
If you comply and give full benefits you can't take it back. I guess could as payments are staggered(each day is the day of month some get benefits) say okay so though paid full benefits now those past this date won't get it.
Anyway it's sad. Playing politics with hunger. They think it gives them maximum leverage over Democrats if people are starving.
I hope SNAP recipients remember the next election what party supported this.
You know dang well Trump could find funding if it was a priority to him. He's said though it's mostly Democrats on program. I hope poor Republicans in red states and rural states so strong on Trump remember that too
