Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler, representing the United States in the arguments over whether the full law should be overturned if the insurance requirement is ruled unconstitutional, is one of a handful of attorneys who have argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. Kneedler, 66, is a graduate of Lehigh University and the University of Virginia law school.
