Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) will file an appeal after a federal judge last week dismissed his lawsuit challenging an ObamaCare rule.

 

"To honor my solemn oath of office, I feel compelled to exhaust every legal recourse," Johnson said in an op-ed in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel over the weekend. "I will file my appeal on Monday."

 

Johnson had filed suit over a rule that allows congressional staff to continue to receive federal healthcare subsidies when signing up for ObamaCare.

 

A federal judge, though, dismissed his case last month, arguing the senator and a member of Johnson's staff did not have standing to challenge the rule, because they suffered no injury.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over the Eastern District of Wisconsin, where Johnson filed the suit. Scissors-32x32.png
