Rezensionen

"The Volokh Conspiracy gave Obamacare much of the constitutional scrutiny it should have but did not receive in Congress. Although the law raises serious constitutional questions, few initially appreciated the significance of these issues. By providing serious, sophisticated analysis, the Volokh Conspiracy raised awareness of the legitimate constitutional challenge to Obamacare and helped advance that challenge." US Senator Michael S. Lee, Utah

"The constitutional debate over the Affordable Care Act was among the most vibrant in recent Supreme Court history, and there was no more important platform for the debate than the Volokh Conspiracy. By collecting the leading arguments for and against the constitutionality of the ACA, the editors of the Conspiracy - a blog with a provocative name and an ecumenical spirit - have performed an invaluable service." Jeffrey Rosen, President of the National Constitution Center and Legal Affairs Editor, The New Republic, USA

"In the old days, the legal conversation took place on law reviews, and it wasn't much of a 'conversation,' really. Now it takes place on lawblogs and it's rich and highly interactive. Legal historians of the future will find this book an indispensable source on the legal conversation around Obamacare. Glenn Reynolds, Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee, and author of Instapundit.com

"The Constitution had its Federalist Papers, and the challenge to the Affordable Care Act had the Volokh Conspiracy." Paul D. Clement, Partner, Bancroft PLLC, 43rd Solicitor General of the United States, and counsel to 26 states in the challenge to the Affordable Care Act, from the Foreword
