Reverse and vacate for three reasons. The First Amendment retaliation test that was adopted fails to provide a manageable standard because it does not give courts and legislators the means to distinguish between excessive political consideration and those that have been deemed constitutionally acceptable. Was this a political consideration . I dont think it is, your honor. This is the norm where states receive one party receives more than 60 of the vote and congressional elections. If that is right in your defense is not really we cant tell the difference between and nonexcessive. To doly need 10,000 votes the population measure. Moved 66,000kers republicans out of the district, flips the composition of the district from 47 republicans and 36 democrats to 45 democrats.

Cspan2. The Supreme Court just wrapped up its current term with a number of significant decisions. Host we have briand goron and john malcolm here. Thank you for being in this morning.

One of the things that she and others have said is, you know, essentially that people who carried out this assault on American Democracy needed to have their day in court and needed to make sure that they paid the consequences

It supportshe constitutionality of the 1978 indian Child Welfare act which is being challenged on the ground tt violated the equal protection clause.
