Chief Justice Roberts mr. Sullivan . Mr. Sullivan mr. Chief justice, and may it please the court to the maryland case and if i can address some of the concerns heard in the argument that you just had. In this case, the court should reverse for three reasons. The First Amendment retaliation a single test was used here. It does not give the courts and the legislatures the means to distinguish between the consideration and those that are constitutionally acceptable. Justice kagan was this an excessive political consideration . I dont think it was, your honor. Like it or not, this is the norm one has more than 60 of the vote in congressional elections. Justice kagan if thats right, then the defense isnt really we cannot tell the difference, because you only need 10000 votes to do the population measure that baker requires, and instead mapmakers move 66,000 republicans out of the district, 24,000 districts, flips the composition from 47 36 democrats,nd effectively ensuring that 35 land, whi

The First Amendment retaliation test that was adopted, a single test was used here, fails to provide a management standard because it does not give courts and legislators the means to distinguish between excessive Political Considerations and those deemed constitutionally acceptable. Was this an excessive political consideration . I dont think it was, your honor. Whether the court may like it or not, this is the norm for states where one party receives more than 60 of the vote in congressional elections, those states have a lineup if thats right, then your defense is not really that we cant tell the difference between excessive and nonexcessive. Under measure this is excessive, isnt it . You only need 10,000 votes to do the population measure
