SCOTUS recognized that this is not a separation of powers constitutional issue.

How is that possible?

A judge in the Judicial Branch has ordered the Executive Branch to spend money which has not been appropriated by the Legislative Branch. How can the judge do that?

Can the same little judge order the Legislative Branch to pass the Continuing Resolution to fund SNAP? "Listen to me you lowly Democrat Senators! I am a Rhode Island District Court judge! I order you to pass this legislation! You must obey me!"

Seems to me that this is nothing but a Separation of Powers issue. The judge has no role at all and should shut up.

That is why SCOTUS slapped down the lower court judge. That Judge was trying to make it a separation of powers issue.
