Courts cannot exceed their bounds of just simply saying, calling balls and strikes, saying it is or it is not constitutional. And in the case of Ohio's congressional district maps, The United States Supreme Court clearly said, clearly gave the impression that the Ohio Supreme Court exceeded the bounds of judicial review by imposing additional duties outside of the plain language of the Constitution upon the commission, it vacated those Supreme Court rulings, which means, to your point, our maps are presumptively 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)
