The Supreme Court has run out of money

[Baitball Blogger]

The Supreme Court’s reserves have dried up as a result of the government shutdown.

On Friday, Supreme Court Public Information Officer Patricia McCabe said in a statement that the court “expects to run out of funding on October 18” and “if new appropriated funds do not become available” after that, “the Court will make changes in its operations to comply” with federal law.

As alarming as that sounds, not much is expected to change about the actual Supreme Court’s ability to function. The physical Supreme Court building will be closed to the public, but the judges of the Court will still perform their essential duties, including issuing rulings on three major cases regarding the Voting Rights Act, Trump’s tariffs, and Trump’s appeal to deploy the military to Chicago.

The nation’s courts are also expected to see their piggy banks go empty by Monday, Oct. 20. Judges across the country will still continue to work, but in a capacity limited by the outlines of the Anti-Deficiency Act.


“Examples of excepted work include activities necessary to perform constitutional functions under Article III, activities necessary for the safety of human life and protection of property, and activities otherwise authorized by federal law,” reads a statement on the U.S. Courts website. “Excepted work will be performed without pay during the funding lapse. Staff members not performing excepted work will be placed on furlough.”

1. 6 of them will continue to get their bribe checks to supplement their temporrarily suspended paychecks

Because a government shut down does not affect regularly scheduled bribes for the friends of the federalist society

2. This article is really soft-selling it: workers will not receive paychecks in any federal court, period

As alarming as that sounds, not much is expected to change about the actual Supreme Court’s ability to function.

Easy for this journalist to say! Literally no clerks or other court workers will get paid a dime after last Saturday until the shut down is resolved. That's in all federal courts across the country. Don't the corrupt six Supreme Court justices even give a shit about their own clerks?

Notice went out to all federal courts last week: the well is dry, Nobody gets paid.

5. It says it, explicitly, but no jumping up and down with hand waving and shouting.
