The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday evening to pause a judge’s order directing it to release November food assistance benefits in full, escalating a legal battle over whether federal officials will deliver the funds.

The request came after the administration said earlier Friday it was working to release the benefits to comply with the court order, suggesting that the money was going to be dispersed. But in its filing, the Justice Department said the high court’s intervention was needed to keep billions of dollars from being sent out that could not be easily recovered.

The developments came amid ongoing court fights over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which have been in limbo during the federal government shutdown and the Trump administration’s resistance to use other funding to foot the bill.

SNAP benefits, which are the country’s largest anti-hunger program, provide aid to about 42 million people, mostly children, the elderly and adults with disabilities. The funding holdup has left families across the country in a state of agonized uncertainty as they wait for aid.

7. we need to stop the Freisler Supreme Court

The Supreme Court appears not to want to reign Trump in. They are looking more and more like the Roland Freisler Court. Freisler was a German judge, who served in the Reich in the 1930s and 1940s. He aided in the Nazification of the legal system in Germany. The Roberts Court seems to be following Freisler's pattern.
