Here are three points:

1. The House claimed the Affordable Care Act has billions of dollars for new health insurance subsidies that were not authorized by Congress.

2. The administration counters the House’s claims are far-reaching and therefore demanded an immediate appeal.

3. Judge Collyer stated the administration would have its chance to appeal, but after both sides discuss whether the administration violated the Constitution by spending the money in an abuse of executive power.
