Editorial Reviews
Review
"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
"[A] unique book.... In times past, lawyers and judges sometimes looked to law reviews for guidance. Today, however, that seems so passé, ratherlike going to a pay phone to make a "long distance" call.... Enter thebloggers of the VC ilk. Timely, substantive, influential - that is their calling card, at least at their better moments. For all intents andpurposes, the future belongs to the bloggers." - Ronald Collins,SCOTUSblog

I do believe that we have a law that prevents insurance companies from doing commerce over state lines. Is the Federal Government exempt from this Law?
Just an aside, here in the state of Illinois, to get a drivers licence one must show that he has auto insurance. Is this the same as making on participate in the ACA? Incidentally, they don't care what state your coverage is from. Is this legal?
All in all, the book did not go out on the hook to say the Affordable Care Act was constitutional or not.
