Distinction. Well, it was certainly a purpose that went into the majority district but it was not the predominant motive. I understand that. Dont you have to use race to comply with section 5 . Thats right. Is there any way to comply with section 5 without using race . There is not. But you dont have to use race in this way, mr. Brasher. Nobody would say that section 5 required you to maintain a 78 district and a 78 district was no longer needed with respect to a groups ability to elect a candidate of choice. I respectfully disagree with that. Once again, we followed the same preclearance strategy that georgia followed in 2005. Congress made a record in 2006 to try to reauthorize section 5.

We did the same thing in this redistricting cycle that other states did, we did the same thing that the plaintiffs did when they were in charge of the legislature in 2001. Theres been some inconsiste

What we are trying to do is to allow flexibility for these bills to be done. Right, but i wanted to make a couple of points. One i am terribly troubled by that date. Jack lew met with many of this morning and he has met with Republican Leaders as well. To be clear october 17 is the drop dead date if you will to default on our debt.

I mean, if it comes on really fast, people wont know what to do right away, and theyll keep following whatever patterns theyre following. You know, i think what it really means in the future is that were going to have a lot more diversity in relationships and in, you know, when people get married. I mean, even when its established that people can live to 150 in a healthy state, theres still going to be people who get married at 20 and then divorce at 25 and keep going, right . I mean, theyll just have more time to do that. But then theyll also be the people, i think probably a more general trend because what weve seen in the past is age of first marriage keeps going up. Instead of being 27, itll pop up
