A Constitution that guarantees equal protection, a Constitution that guarantees equal voice, a Constitution that provides for equal representation of every citizen. And carving out maps for partisan advantage, well, that just undermines that guarantee members. The Constitution is not a suggestion. It's the foundation of our democracy, and it's our solemn duty to uphold it. You know, history is not only going to record the votes that we take today, it's also going to record whether we honored the vision of those who entrusted us with this responsibility more than two centuries ago.
