The federal court system is poised to soon run out of funding and will have to furlough employees if Congress does not reach a deal to end the government shutdown, according to officials.
The U.S. Supreme Court also expects to run out of funding on Oct. 18, a spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email. On Saturday, if Congress does not approve new money, the court will close its building to the public while remaining open for essential work such as oral arguments.
