Courts cannot exceed their bounds of just simply saying, calling balls and strikes, saying it is or it is not constitutional.

In the absence of a ruling that declares otherwise, there is no ruling that declares otherwise, which means the congressional maps that are currently in place are constitutional. (17:59–18:26)
