mr. chief justice, and may it please the court. judiciously manageable standards for how politicians have acted too politically. andal science metrics hypothetical projections do not solve any of these problems. they were merely shifting districting the final courts who decided the fate of maps based upon panels of experts. on a threshold matter, this court should hold the courts jurisdiction to entertain statewide political gerrymandering challenges, leaving district specific gerrymandering. >> i think it is true there is no case that directly helps respondents strongly on the standing issue. you have a strong argument. suppose the court -- you have to assume we will know exactly the parameters of it -- decided this was a first amendment issue. not an equal protection issue. with that change the calculus so if you are in one part of the state you have a first amendment interest in having your party strong or the other party weak? mr. tseytlin: no, your honor. it is still grounded in the right to vote.

industry cannot exist without pure science and it funds it generously. >> senator, peters. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. cunningham, i would like you to expound on some o the points you made. we know the scientific enterprise and ability to advance scientific knowledge is a complex ecosystem and it's not mutual ll lly exclusive. it's about the interaction between all of these entities working together and churning the innovation that koms out of the scientific enterprise. so in my mind there's a role for federal research, certainly private industry is a big part of it. in fact most is done with private industry today. but i'd like you to speak from your own experience. can you provide an example that would not have been done if not for a federal investment. >> sure. thank you. so a lot of the work that we've done has been looking at ways that we can get ad lessants and teenagers at risk to make safer decisions and be safer after leaving the emergency department. that's not the type of research that typically would be of interest to industry. the industry is of tremendous help and that typ

mr. tseytlin: your honor, they are just estimates. there are estimates we have not put any social science to say the estimate is wrong. singleetold, but every science metric points in the same direction. there are five of them. your matt kuchar is one of them --map drawer is one of them. what we know is they started out with the court plan. they created three or four different maps. they were not partisan enough. they created three or four more maps that were not partisan enough. they finally got to the final map after maybe 10 different tries of making it more partisan and the achieved amount -- a map that was the most partisan on the s-curve/ it works better than they expected. the estimate was not wrong. the estimate was pretty right. so, if it is the most extreme map they could make, why isn't that enough to prove partisan asymmetry and unconstitutional gerrymandering? mr. tseytlin: i think the facts in this case that you were discussing are significantly less troubling than the facts and case this court is previously faced. one, the map drawer comply fastidiously with traditional principles, but they kept -- just

mr. katko, that a lack of attention was not my concern. i think the attention was there. i think we responded in a way that was not driven by science. i can point to the fact that now we are treating it as a health crisis which we should. mr. richmond: our response of the opioid crisis is the right way to go. i think it would have been a right way 30 years ago to crack cocaine as a health crisis, an lacktion as opposed to the 'em up throw away the key and treating addicts as criminals. and we're now treating addicts as addicts with substance abuse. when i say science and data should always drive the process, let me just offer an example. if you were caught with crack cocaine and the same amount of powder cocaine, your sentence was 100 times longer for crack as opposed to the same amount as cocaine. and the overwhelming majority of people who were caught with crack cocaine were african-americans. and people caught with powder were not. but you can't tell me that the science and the data, because the chemical maker of crack cocaine and cocaine, the only difference is baking soda. and you can't tell me that baking soda warrants 100-1 di

mr. smith, can i just say something -- ask you a question about the political science? i mean, i -- gerrymandering is distasteful. but if we are going to impose a standard on the courts, it has to be something that's manageable and it has to be something that's sufficiently concrete so that the public reaction to decisions is not going to be the one that the chief justice mentioned, that this three-judge court decided this, that -- this way because two of the three were appointed by a republican president or two of the three were appointed by a democratic president. now, it's been 30 years since bandemer, and before then and since then, judges, scholars, legal scholars, political scientists have been looking for a manageable standard. all right. in 2014, a young researcher publishes a paper, eric mcghee publishes a paper, in which he says that the measures that were previously -- the leading measures previously, symmetry and responsiveness, are inadequate. but i have discovered the key. i have discovered the rosetta stone and it's -- it is the efficiency gap. and then a
