• holding true nature of plaintiffs complaint seeking injunction forcing government to pay for abortion where plaintiff could not afford it was in substance equitable, even though it would force government expenditure of funds
• finding that the Federal Circuit lacked appellate jurisdiction because the “case was not one that was based on the Little Tucker Act at the outset, and it never became one through the passage of time or the unfolding of events”
• distinguishing Tucker Act jurisdiction over “reimbursement” claims from APA jurisdiction over requests for injunctive relief, where an “after-the-fact payment of money damages would not [provide] an adequate remedy”
• “What matters is whether the request for relief is, on its face or in substance, a request for money damages as opposed to equitable relief.”
