In reply to the discussion: #BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing Trump's requirement to pay SNAP bene [View all]

(133 posts)99. I get the legal reasoning behind it
But I also understand those responding that are upset. To alot of people this isnt just a legal battle caught up in the process of the legal system. This is reality life and death to them. Some people crowing oh well I received mine cause their state is funding it fully. Some states are doing that but a majority aren't. I say all that to say maybe dont chastise people for being emotional over this because their feelings matter because they're real people who may be suffering themselves because of this.

Neither Jackson nor I am defending evil. I'm sure Jackson is every bit as compassionate as you are. . . . nt

You made no argument. I made no personal attack. You attacked me as "defending evil".

if she denied the stay, the administration could immediately go to any other justice and ask for it.

Just bc you are right on this point does not mean that Jackson didn't do the best thing at this stage of the process. nt

Unlike SCOTUS, circuit courts don't have a say in whether to hear or consider appeals or not

Thank you. As I posted above, I don't expect most DUers to understand the intricacies of SCOTUS procedure

Everybody here knows what you're saying is true. YOU need to understand that the question is not about the constitution

Your "arrogance" (your word) won't fix the problem. Jackson did what she had to do to prevent it from being worse.

Given that it was Jackson, I knew there would be some issue like this behind it.

Simplicity is no replacement for Jackson's sophisticated operation of the legal machinery to prevent worse events. . nt

She is constrained by the law. I'm sure she has a much deeper understanding of it that I or you do.

Jackson is aligning against those who starve children. She is NOT aligning with those who do.

Do not distract by telling me about the monarchy I do not want. I'm well aware of it.

I agree that Jackson is doing her best, but this seems more of a tactical decision than legal.

My amateur sense is that Jackson knows that a majority of the Court is against us.
