Amicus briefs due today

Again, two groups of amicus curiae briefs are due today: (1) those supporting the respondents on the minimum coverage provision issue, and (2) those supporting the parties (who take largely, though not entirely, the same position) on the Anti-Injunction Act issue. I will update this post throughout the day and this evening as I receive additional briefs.

UPDATE (Tuesday morning): More amicus briefs continue to trickle in, so I am adding them to this post (and to the HHS v. Florida (No. 11-398) case documents page on the right) as I find them.

UPDATE 2 (Tuesday evening): I am still coming across additional amicus briefs that were filed yesterday. So I will keep this thread open through noon tomorrow. If you know of any briefs that I am missing, feel free to let me know: bjoondeph@scu.edu. Thanks.
