http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2571698/Judge says Boehner can sue president over Obamacare
By Robert King • 9/9/15 4:32 PM
A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that House Speaker John Boehner's lawsuit over the implementation of Obamacare can move forward, setting the stage for another high-stakes legal battle over President Obama's signature legislative accomplishment.
Though the judge ruled that House leaders do have legal standing and thus can sue Obama, it wasn't a complete victory for Republicans.
The lawsuit focuses on whether President Obama could delay implementation of the law's employer mandate and continue making payments to insurers through a program designed to cushion risk in the early years of the law's implementation, even though Congress refused to directly appropriate the funds.
Federal Judge Rosemary Collyer decided that the House can sue over the risk payments but not the mandate delay.
