amici “Although amici hold a broad spectrum of socially and politically conservative, moderate, and libertarian views, amici share the view that laws that bar same-sex couples from the institution of civil marriage, with all its attendant profoundly important rights and responsibilities, are inconsistent with the United States Constitution’s dual promises of equal protection and due process,” the brief states. } 1THE meaning of "AMICI"and ""BAR" in this context

"amici" here is a legal term, from the plural form of theLatin "amicus curiae" referring to "friends of the court", that is, people or groups who are not directly involved on the case, but who have offered informed opinions about the issues in the case. It does not refer to a specific group, so it isn't written with a capital letter. SuKi has explained "bar"

It looks like 'Amici' should have a capital letter, because it appears that they are some kind of group, sect or organisation. 'Bar' is a verb meaning ban, or not allow.
