US District Court Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled Wednesday against the Obama administration's motion to dismiss the case. Collyer said House Republicans do have the standing to pursue their challenge, which argues that the Obama administration violated the US Constitution by spending money on the law that had not been appropriated by Congress.

No.
Why does the house need a court to protect it?
Because it’s full of a bunch of sniveling, little weenies.

Doesn't matter what any court says, Obama will not obey them on this due to his superior knowledge and judgement.
And the Congress will not exercise their power over a renegade executive.
We, as a people in a Republic have let slip the bedrock...the rule of law.

Obama may be out of office by then, and that could be a pivotal difference.

Boehner goes to cloakroom, says “Damn it!”, starts to sob.

He’s spending $175 billion that wasn’t allocated. I say make sure the funding is cut by that amount. Oh......but that’s hard so never mind.
Worthless.

“The president’s unilateral change to Obamacare was unprecedented and outside the powers granted to his office under our Constitution,” Boehner said in a statement. “I am grateful to the court for ruling that this historic overreach can be challenged by the coequal branch of government with the sole power to create or change the law. The House will continue our effort to ensure the separation of powers in our democratic system remains clear, as the Framers intended.”

Boehner is kissing our butts now???? LMAO....

I’m hoping that Turley doesn’t end up like Breitbart or Clancy.

Somebody needs to remind the crying Cheeto he pushed and passed a budget that funds Obamacare.

If this gets to the communists left control of the Supreme Court it will go nowhere for us.
