Federal courts have funding to last another week despite shutdown

BY LYDIA WHEELER - 01/15/19 06:00 PM EST
 

The federal courts are expected to remain fully operational for another week despite the partial government shutdown.

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, an agency within the judicial branch that supports federal courts, estimated Tuesday that it has enough money to sustain paid operations through Jan. 25 – two weeks longer than originally expected after the partial shutdown began.

The agency first estimated they would be forced to cut back on staff starting Jan. 11, but then extended that deadline to Jan. 18. The money has been coming from court fee balances and other funds not dependent on a new appropriation bill.

This is good news.  They won't be able to rule against Trump's policies.

I know.  Saw that.  But there are other challenges out there.
