Brilliance in the judiciary

Faced with the impending end of SNAP (food stamp) benefits due to the government shutdown, a federal judge has apparently ordered workers from a to be determined federal agency that may not exist, and who are not currently being paid, to send out SNAP payments/checks from a fund to be determined that also may or may not exist.

Funny me, I'd thought that involuntary servitude was banned with the 13th Amendment, and that if you're going to be spending money, maybe that ought to start with Congress, per Article 1, and ought to be directed through federal departments that actually exist and from resources that are actually known.  One thing I know for sure is that when federal judges act against the 13th Amendment, they ought to be removed from the bench and disbarred.  Crazy chicanery like this needs to have a serious penalty.
