WASHINGTON—A federal judge on Wednesday allowed House Republicans to proceed with part of a lawsuit challenging the Obama administration’s implementation of the 2010 health-care law, opening the door for another legal battle over the Affordable Care Act.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer issued a mixed ruling that offered bright spots for both sides, though the ruling was clearly a disappointment for the White House, which hoped to put legal challenges to its signature health law behind it.
Judge Collyer said the House has legal standing to bring claims alleging the Obama administration was violating the Constitution in how it was paying for part of the ACA. The judge rejected the Obama administration’s argument that the court shouldn’t referee a political dispute between the other two branches of government.</time>
