BREAKING: Supreme Court issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments - AP
Just another mini judge throwing rocks on the road.
When is Trump going to learn to ignore district court judges trying to rule the country just like the Supremes have told him to do???????????
The Supreme Court never told the President to ignore orders from district courts.
Looks like a win … maybe the RATs will get serious
It’s not so much that, but rather district courts should not apply their rulings to the entire country. In essence…they need to stay in their lanes.
Reuters: “The court’s action, known as an administrative stay, gives a lower court additional time to consider the administration’s formal request to only partially fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP or food stamps, for November. Chief Justice John Roberts, who issued the stay, set it to expire in two days.”
One judge says PAY!!
Another judge says STAY!!
Supreme Court of the United States
No. 25A539
BROOKE L. ROLLINS, SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE, ET AL.,
Applicants,
v.
RHODE ISLAND STATE COUNCIL OF CHURCHES, ET AL.
O R D E R
The applicants are seeking a stay of two orders of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, case No. 1:25-cv-569. See D. Ct. Minute Entry (Oct. 31, 2025) and Docket Number 34 (Nov. 6, 2025). These orders require the applicants to fully fund benefits for the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (“SNAP”) for the month of November, and to distribute that funding by the end of the day on November 7, 2025 (today).
Earlier today, the applicants asked the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to stay the District Court’s orders pending appeal, and to issue an administrative stay to facilitate its consideration of that stay motion. At 6:08 p.m., the First Circuit denied the applicants’ request for an administrative stay, but stated that it “intend[s] to issue a decision on [the stay pending appeal] motion as quickly as possible.” Rhode Island State Council of Churches v. Rollins, No. 25-2089 (CA1 Nov. 7, 2025).
The applicants filed an application in this Court this evening, requesting a stay of the two District Court orders “pending the disposition of the government’s appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and, if the court of appeals affirms those orders, pending the timely filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court.” Application at 1. The applicants assert that, without intervention from this Court, they will have to “transfer an estimated $4 billion by tonight” to fund SNAP benefits through November. Ibid.
Given the First Circuit’s representations, an administrative stay is required to facilitate the First Circuit’s expeditious resolution of the pending stay motion.
IT IS ORDERED that the District Court’s orders are hereby administratively stayed pending disposition of the motion for a stay pending appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in case No. 25-2089 or further order of the undersigned or of the Court. This administrative stay will terminate forty-eight hours after the First Circuit’s resolution of the pending motion, which the First Circuit is expected to issue with dispatch.

“One judge says PAY!!
Another judge says STAY!!”
Reminds me of the scene in Fistful of Dollars where Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef give conflicting instructions to a chinese man regarding moving a trunk
All of the welfare of any type is only to buy votes.
If they get hungry, they could buy food like I do.
The USSC ruling just extends the time period the Administration has to comply with the lower court TRO’s. From November 7 to November 9.
That is all it does. It does nothing to reverse the lower court rulings.
The illegal alien voting bloc is going to get what it wants. It’s too big to fail.
I can imagine that scene. While in character, both men could Bark Orders in a very gruff manner back then. Both looked ready to cut your throat just for looking at them in the wrong way.
48 hours after the First Circuit rules on the appeal. That give the administration 48 hours to appeal the the supreme court if they don’t overturn.
