The case is about the constitutionality of a federal law that provides a civil remedy for gender-motivated violence. The plaintiff was assaulted and raped by two other students, and she sued the perpetrators and the school under the law. The lower court held that the law was constitutional, but the Court of Appeals struck it down, stating that Congress lacked the authority to enact it. The Supreme Court considered whether Congress had the power to pass the law.
