Administration Seeks Help from Top Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Order
Last Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court determined that the administration must completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a further bid to prevent the directive.
Within hours, the supreme court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 hundred thousand individuals count on to feed their families.

Government representatives had petitioned the appellate court to stop a court ruling that it provide this month's entire nutritional payments amid a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.
