Abstract
Amici are law professors (listed in Appendix A) who have taught, studied, written about, and have expertise in the Constitution, constitutional history, and the structure and requisites of American federalism.
Amici take no position on the wisdom of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "Act"), Pub. L. No. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119 (2010), a question on which their views diverge. Nonetheless, they have a strong interest in and expertise on the legal issue this Court is asked to decide-whether the Act is within Congress's powers. On that question they are of one mind: The Act is constitutional.
