U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions used a speech Thursday in front of a conservative think tank to criticize judges across the country who have issued rulings blocking President Donald Trump's policies.
But Sessions also used the occasion to highlight the administration's win earlier this week in a case before a federal judge in San Francisco.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California on Wednesday declined to force the Trump administration to make critical payments to health insurers under the Affordable Care Act. Chhabria found that although the ACA requires insurance companies be paid, it's unclear whether Congress has actually set aside money for these payments.
