thompson. thompson: anyou, mr. justice.ust a few quick pnt number one, the extent to which we a aepting what the north carolina supreme court's rung was here as a valid and fair expression of state law, we are doing that for purposes of the two tests that we articulateon our brief. mber one, there can't be any substantive restraint on t state legislature, and number two, it lacked a judicially discoverable and manageable standard. but make no mistake, would this court say, welwant to adopt a third standard, we want to take the bush versus gore standarde want to apply it to state constitutions, i would make two points. number one, the test for a sta constitution should be easier to meet than a statute because, for purposes of the elections ause, it's far more problematic when a state legislature has its hands tied by a sonstitution than impermissible distortion of a statute which they can just go back and rewri and the second point i would make is, under that standard, and we've heaultiplicity of standards, but under any of

thompson: yes. justice barrett: but a lot of state constitutions can be ended by simple majorities inside the referendum process. , you know, we know from hildebrand that if a districting is done by referendum, that's okay, you know, that doesn' violate the elections clause. so why is it any diffentsay, if a state constitution is amended and some substantive provision is added by referendum, but it be problematic, why is that problematic? when it can be changed by a simple majority,s that more entrenchment and why would we say that having it appear in the constiti is problematic when, if it appeared through the referendum process and the legislative process, it's not. mr. thompson: well, respectfly, your honor, if we're trying to get at the orin public meaning of the constitution, i think everyo reed in arizona that these referendum were unknown at the time of the founding. and so james madison -- justice barrett: bu're stuck with hildebrand. ought you weren't trying to get rid of it. get rid of it,

and then investigator thompson saw the blood drops.hat that is where the shooting had occurred. blood had dropped straight down. so it was just outside >> do you find some bullets around there? >> they found two bullets lodged in the kitchen cupboard. so the two shots that went through the arm, went through the arm and through that wall and came out into caption cabinets on the other side. >> thompson and his partner used the string to simulate the path of the bullets they even tried to act out what might have happened. and before long, they came to some conclusions. how far away was the shooter? >> played a close range. >> so, a struggle when the gun went off. it would be? >> some type of conversation went on and a struggle ensued. two shots went off. and then the third shot into his chest. i think that brian struggled to get in to call for help. that he sat there. i think the perpetrator stood there and watched brian die. >> and as for the location of the gun so close to doctor ryan 's own hand? >> the killer must have put it there?
