A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Thursday to fund food stamps in full for roughly 42 million low-income Americans, after admonishing the government for delaying aid under the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the shutdown.
The order, issued by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, marked his second legal rebuke of the administration for actions that threatened to leave millions of Americans at risk of financial hardship.
Reading his directive from the bench after a short but tense hearing, Judge McConnell sharply criticized the administration for ignoring his original order last week to quickly restart payments for SNAP, or food stamps. .... By its own admission, the Agriculture Department had ample funds to continue the program. But it took the intervention of two federal courts, including an order by Judge McConnell, before Mr. Trump’s deputies moved to restart food stamp payments.
Shortly after the judge’s first directive, the Trump administration announced it would provide partial payments under SNAP this month. But many local officials quickly objected to what they saw as a set of punitive and needlessly complex rules, warning that the work to implement them could delay food stamp payments for weeks.....

Why doesn’t he just wave his hands and order the FAA to fund air traffic controllers?
With what?
Clearly this judge doesnt understand how things work.
Why a district judge has power to rule on nationwide issues?
Can the judge force treasury to print money?
These judges are generating headlines to cast Trump in a very unfavorable light. They are making it sound like Trump is intentionally starving children.
What a corrupt judge.
The Rats want their army of illegal immigrant voters feed so they don’t just go home and frustrate rigging future elections.
NO KINGS
Why doesn’t he order the Senate to FULLY FUND THE GOVERNMENT while he is at it.
I now judges are extremely wise and versed in such things, so I am just axing what I may have missed?
The judge ought to order the US Senate to pass the CR. The Legislative Branch has to do what the Judicial Branch tells it to do, right?
Judge is asking for a sandwich to the chest
Why didn’t the judge just order Democrats to pass the clean CR so everyone gets paid?
Maybe these judges should read the constitution.
Two words judge: FU
Why don’t the judges just rule the constitution null and void?
amazing how the Rats spin their wicked ways
why hasn’t the Rat judge ordered a handful of Rat Senators to pass the CR?
“No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law”
Over the course of our history, the Supreme Court has elaborated on the separation-of-powers doctrine in several cases addressing the three branches of government. At times, the Court has determined that one branch’s actions have infringed upon the core functions of another.
So much for the US Constitution and Congress having the “Power of The Purse”
We now see that that power is in the hands of unelected political hacks sitting as judges.
