Judge rules for House GOP in ObamaCare suit
By Peter Sullivan - 05/12/16 12:21 PM EDT
A federal judge on Thursday ruled in favor of House Republicans in their lawsuit against the Obama administration over ObamaCare.
In a major ruling, Judge Rosemary Collyer, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said the administration does not have the power to spend money on "cost sharing reduction payments" to insurers without an appropriation from Congress.
Collyer's decision doesn't immediately go into effect, however, so that the administration can appeal it.
“This is an historic win for the Constitution and the American people," Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. "The court ruled that the administration overreached by spending taxpayer money without approval from the people's representatives."
