What I think was stunning is that California then throughout their nonpartisan redistricting commission to take a very partisan stance. There's no doubt that states have the ability to go and do this. In my view of the reading of the Constitution where it says states will determine how those, those divisions within the assignment of the number of members of Congress will go. So it's within their power to do so. It just seems hypocritical in a state like California that had been trying to wring politics out of it to go back on that. (07:24–07:38)
