CONCLUSION
This Court should affirm the judgment of the
court of appeals.

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI
TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
BRIEF FOR AMICI CURIAE 55 MEMBERS OF
UNITED STATES SENATE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES SENATE, AND 250 MEMBERS OF
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
