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.
On Friday, US District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island announced that he would order the US Department of Agriculture to distribute a pool of contingency funds “as soon as possible.”
While minutes before, Boston US District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the US 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 do it.

So two judges are basically saying a US law in place since LBJ now doesn’t work? So the takers outweighs the payers? Screw them. Ignore it and see what happens. Heading for a showdown.
These leftist judges are simply doing whatever possible to obstruct Trump and his agenda. They KNOW they will be over ruled on appeal. But that takes time. In the meantime they will throw a wrench in the works. And since they are essentially untouchable they have no incentive to stop obstructing.
Did a little digging and… 1/6/2014: Barack Hussein Obama nominates Indira Talwani for U.S. District Judge for Boston MA. On the same day, he nominates John J. McConnell Jr. as U.S. District Judge for Rhode Island.
These apparatchiks are merely doing what’s expected of them by handing Democrats a pass on one of the biggest stumbling blocks of the partial shutdown.
Trump should tell these leftist nut job judges that he’ll “take it under advisement” then continue on with what he’s doing.
