Federal courts are expected to run out of money on Feb. 1 after stretching fees and other “no-year†funds during the partial government shutdown, the administrative agency for the judiciary said today.
When the money runs out, each court will have to determine how many staffers must stay on without pay to support “mission critical work.â€
[...]
The Justice Department has also asked courts to temporarily put on hold some cases in which the federal government is a party until the shutdown ends.
For example, DOJ recently asked for a delay in the legal fight over the fate of Obamacare. And a legal battle has stalled over Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' proposed overhaul of rules for how schools handle allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

From sources all over the Capitol:
— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) January 23, 2019
- POTUS DOES have right to enter the House chamber, at anytime.
- That includes if they are out of session, technically.
- But he can't speak from podium or dais w/out express House permission.
I can't believe I'm writing all this.
