what the district court found, you can depop ewe late districts up to 10%. and, in fact, you should do that because you need to pop ewe late to obtain preclearance. that is wrong. the voting rights act does not command or require under-populated districts to obtain pre-clearance. >> usually the states and municipalities have to go through several layers of back and forth, years of proposal. it's sort of a bargaining process. i don't know how confident you can be that it wasn't necessary. >> we certainly said it was very opaque in plo cess. no one really knows what you need to do or don't need to do to obtain pre-clearance. so if advice they had been given doesn't justify malapportionment. so they could achieve, in the first map, they had two maps, a draft map and a final map. the draft had a 4% rough devil nation. >> let's assume the anxious is no. but the people were mistaken. it may allow and require you to do that. that doesn't show a bad moment, does it? >> bad legal advice is different from an impermissible votive. what is the test here? >> i would say

school district. i want to play for you now something that the new york mayor bill de blasio said a short time ago. have a listen. >> the immediate assessment by the intelligence division, again in consultation with the fbi is that there is nothing credible about the threat. it was so e je eer innic, so outlandish, and so posed to numerous school systems simultaneously that, plus the additional information that the commissioner noted that there were wording choices and other i indicators that the suggested a hoax and not anything that we could associate with the jihadis activi activity. so the assumptions were exactly the same from the school district and the police enforcement that it would be a huge disservice, and so there is complete unity between the mayor's office, and the d.o.e. and fbi that it is not something to act on and in fact it was a hoax. >> and the new york mayor bill de blasio a short time ago referring to what they believe to be a hoax. i want the go to the police commissioner in ne

and in district 8, the district mostly at issue is underpopulated by 22%. if arizona had toug back to the drawing board with their districting commission and accommodate at least voter but at least or maybe both, there would be no opportunity to engage in the political and racial gerrymandering that has come to dominate the redistricting process. that would not involve the court and those issues anymore. they would be solved as they should. section 2 does not work without this understanding as justice scalia pointed out in his dissent in chisholm, there's nothing to measure against if one person, one vote doesn't protect voters. its the baseline. how do you know if a minority vote solution has occurred unless you have a baseline to measure against? the baseline is equal voting power of voters absent discrimination. it completely unravels. >> thank you, counsel. the case is submitted. >> abigail fillmore was the first first lady to work outside the home. teaching at a private school, she successfully lobbied congress for funds to create the first white house

they with want the district to be transparent. despite the many times the school district said they were transparent, when we asked them to show us the goods they wouldn't do it. we asked for the same information that the parents were asking for, we've been promised we get he them, we have not gotten that, we have not had a public reports request filled yet. >> in talking to you because you had both a leadership and communications person talking to you at that interview, how do they justify not ve revealing this stuff to the parents? >> it was actually a little surprising, joie, we had the person we were interviewing but then the communications director sitting off to the side and he actually interrupted the interview a number of times while we were filming contradicting what was being said or trying justify what was being said so i eventually directed some questions to him and i said why not be transparent, just put it online and let the parents see this and come to their own conclusions. he actually said, parents are not savvy e

unified school district. certainly the superintendent said today we deal with a lot of threats on a daily basis. they are doing kind of electronic forensics now to talk about what made this credible, but this is a high stress period for students and households across southern california already. >> reporter: yes, certainly many of the students we spoke to early this morning pointed that out very quickly. this was finals week, especially for the high schools here in the l.a. area so they were preparing for finals as this threat was made. students were on their way to school, on school buses when some of those buses were turned around and rerouted away from the school district. other parents we have heard from were actually, had already dropped off their students at school for some of the early sessions that happen on campuses and had to return to pick up their students. this is going to affect more than 640,000 students. at the l.a. unified school district, the second largest in the nation, has more than 900 p

unified school district. l.a. unified does not mean all the schools in what you would think would be that umbrella. there are certain communities like beverly hills, like burbank, like glendale that are not part of it. parochial schools were not at first a part of it. and from local media, we are understanding that many of them are choosing to go along with this and either send their students home or not open at all. as you see there are 640,000 students, k through 12, affected by this. this includes 187 public charter schools in the los angeles area. we have live pictures coming in and what appears to be a police roll call going on in the middle of a parking lot. we are joined on the telephone by member of congress brad sherman from california. he serves the san fernando valley area of southern california and congressman, what were you told and when were you told it? >> well, i have been in touch with various people involved in this at l.a. usd. i woke to find out that the schools would be closed and i have been

of the school district. based on solely specified schools across a school district that, as you said, includes almost 1,000 schools, i'm not seeing it yet. i'm not seeing what would have triggered this except the timing issue. that's my only explanation at this stage that they wake up in the morning, they have no way to assess what the threats are and decide to be utterly cautious. jorngs you will remember when we were with the boston marathon, some universities closed but that was during a hunt, right? that was during a specific terrorist incident. this is really unprecedented. and i think we have -- i think we will learn a lot in the next couple of hours. >> absolutely. the superintendent says he's going to be making another statement later in the day. they need to -- he says he wants every school checked and cleared before he makes the decision and the call to allow students back in. juliette, stick with us. stand by for us. get over to paul, who's in los angeles, outside the school where that press confe

school district is closed. as to the feeling in l.a. i wouldn't say it's any more than any other place in terms of fear of terrorism, but it is something that everybody is aware of, and something that everyone is keeping their eyes open. and if law enforcement says it is that specific, and the school district says it is that specific, they are going to do everything they can to keep everyone protected. >> dena thank you so much. we should also mention again that this was a specific threat against the l.a. unified school district. >> let's go now to bernard parks the former los angeles police chief. thanks for being with us. are your sources telling you something that we have not already heard? >> no, i think this is so recent that there -- generally, things are basically being dealt with as we speak, and so i think the things that probably are not made public, it's just how specific the threat is, and what type of threat, and so the fact that they are going through this general search of all buildings and also

unified district. let's listen to the police chief in los angeles, charlie beck. >> -- our best advice on moving forward. we were able to do that. the superintendent made a decision. we support his decision, as does the mayor. i would say this to people that are critical. it is very easy in hindsight to criticize a decision based on results that the decider could never have known. it is also very easy to criticize the decision when you have no responsibility for the outcome of that decision. the school district safeguards three quarters of a million lives every day. when they make a decision, they have to take into account the safety of the children of los angeles. i think it's irresponsible to, based on facts that have yet to be determined, to criticize that decision at this point. all of us make tough choices. all of us have the same goal in mind. we want to keep our kids safe. these are tough times. these communities, our communities, southern california, has been through a lot in the recent weeks.

((paul joncich)) one of the big questions is how agressively would clark county respond to a threat. new york city schools reportedly got the same threat l.a. did, ...and quickly determined it to be a hoax...and did not close any schools. captain young says any decision on a district wide shutdown would not be left up to one person...it would likely be decided on by educators and law enforcement. ((dave courvoisier)) does the district recieve bomb threats during the year? and if they do, how do they determine whether they are credible? ((paul joncich)) capt. young says they might get a dozen or so during the school year. and they have a process they go through to decide if it's a hoax or not. so far, every single one has been a hoax./// spotlight is on the republican candidates tonight... as all 13 are hitting the stage. 4 of them are on stage now.

regardless the school district is shut town.mark, fox news contributor, you worked in l.a. 20 years plus. what is your reaction as we know it? >> i think it is interesting the way new york handled the threat in the way. this is the decision of the school district. i hear people that will react the same way in the fut and you are the thing that alarms me and that i look at. it could be a probe to find out how the city reacts and what they do, and the command posts they form and where they form them and how they literally drain the city of law enforcement for a short period of time and when the threat is not there, or they concede the threat not to be a threat, then it goes back to normal. they can do this any can time. >> that is scary. but we don't know anything about it at this point. reports are saying it came from an e-mail address in germany. but beyond that we don't know that much. mark, does it concern you that a school superintendant can make the decision and take it a step forward should the fbi have to approve because i
