In a "snap," federal judges order food stamps be funded and reinstated "(zh) two judges have stepped in over the federal government suspension of food-aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans set to end on nov. 1 amid the shutdown.

"national guard troops in california were deployed to support food pantries as millions of Americans braced for an end to snap funding during the government shutdown

"on friday, U.S. district judge John McConnell of Rhode island announced that he would order the U.S. department of agriculture to distribute a pool of contingency funds 'as soon as possible.

"while minutes before, boston U.S. district judge Indira Talwani ruled that the U.S. government must announce by nov. 3 whether they would authorize at least partial funding for the program using around $6 billion in contingency funds - and if so, when will they [sic] do it.

"McConnell's order is related to a case brought by democrat-led cities and nonprofits who sought to keep federal funds flowing the the [sic] supplemental nutrition assistance program (snap), while Talwani's case was brought by over two dozen democratic states and the district of Columbia.

"which, of course, completely takes pressure off congress to find a speedy resolution to the ongoing shutdown. we're sure judges will simply order federal employees to be paid, effectively un-shutting-down the government."

GRA: Not a surprise AT ALL. Every politician probably knew this would happen--judges saving the day for both sides.

Does anyone appeal this (to be the bad guy?)
