A federal judge dealt President Obama and his health care law a major blow Thursday, ruling in favor of House Republicans who said the administration was unlawfully paying insurers without permission from Congress.

The order by U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer, presiding in Washington, says the administration should stop doling out the Affordable Care Act’s “cost-sharing” payments to insurers until Capitol Hill appropriates the money.

However, she stayed that order pending a likely appeal by the administration.

So much for balance of power and the three branches of government - since now the courts and appointed judges decide everything that's best for us minions.

Not that I'm anywhere near being in favor of this complete POS legislation, just pointing out my frustration with the system.

I share your frustration with the system, but this is actually an intelligent decision that supports the Constitution. It's what the courts were intended to do and it's refreshing to see this. It's rare these days, sadly.

Perhaps this time. But the courts generally lean far too far to the left for the good of the country.
