Those SNAP Rulings

 No wonder the "Highly Trained Professional Reporters" don't read this stuff over the air.

 ...Rhode Island District Judge John J. McConnell ordered the Administration to promptly pay the EBT benefits. His oral decision from the bench (no written order) was weak; he determined (in his opinion) the decision not to pay SNAP in a shutdown was “arbitrary and capricious” (a legal term under the Administrative Procedures Act), and he found ‘irreparable harm’ was caused by the emotional “terror” that Snappers feel when seeing a zeroed balance on their cards....

Emotional terrorism!!  Now THERE'S a Federal Case if there ever was one.  

Did he consider throwing all the criminal illegals out of the country immediately because THEY cause "emotional terrorism" thus "irreparable harm"?

I kid.  Of course not.

[In]... Massachusetts, District Judge Indira Talwani “expressed skepticism toward the Trump administration’s arguments that legal obstacles and technical hurdles stood in the way.” But —and this is a big one— unlike Judge McConnell, Judge Talwani did not find that the plaintiffs had established “irreparable harm” (an informative fact omitted by the Times). After explaining how she believed continued payments would be legal, Judge Talwani ordered the administration to explain on Monday morning whether it would choose to voluntarily fund “benefits” for November....

Hmmmmm.  As you will NOT know from watching the local "Highly Trained Professional Reporters," the President stated that he wants to fund SNAP but awaits a Court ruling on how that will be legally possible.  He might have a long wait....

 ...The battle is over SNAP’s “emergency fund,” which has several billion dollars in it— still less than one month’s funding. The statute governing the use of the special fund defines “emergencies” as things like hurricanes, pandemics, and stuff that interrupts normal government operations— but not funding freezes caused by lack of an authorized budget. Only two judges out of two dozen found the emergency funds should be used during a government shutdown....

That means that twenty-two judges did NOT find that to be so.  Hmmmm.

Another question raised is "How many Wisconsin SNAP recipients will be taken off the program due to work requirements?"

Note that Highly Trained Professional Journalists have not asked that question.  If they did, Tony (Rutabaga) Evers would not like them any more.

Can't have that.  Nope.  Never.
