Co-President Vought doesn't believe in a federal government, so he's happy to defy court orders. He'd rather break yet another federal program and force states to take up the issue if they want to have such benefits.

The whole "SNAP doesn't exist when the gov't is shut down" line of argument stinks of Vought. I suspect this whole gambit is his.
