mrs. harrington: we haven't taken a position on that -- justice roberts: i know. it seems very unfortunate. it's a little difficult for us to address since that's one of the main questions in the case. mrs. harrington the united : states has never participated in the gerrymandering cases. there are lessons that can drawn. the court indicated certainly conversation of politics and partisanship does not necessarily make a plan unconstitutional. but again in this case, i think in order to get to the question of what the state's actual motives were, there has to be demonstration that the motives were not. justice roberts so you're : unwilling to tell me whether intentional use of partisanship and redistricting is acceptable or not? mrs. harrington: i think this court's decision indicates it can be permissible. the districting body in gatchni was driven by a desire to equalize. justice breyer: i took it that the position of the united states is at least as many commissions are nonpartisan because they have two people who are more partisan on one side two people on the o

[ laughter ] chief justice roberts: does anybody contest this? i don't think that's contested here. i think the other side is willing to concede that it's precementively ok. which means they have to come forward to show there were invalid reasons why there's this discrepancy. mr. harrington: that's true. and our view, justice scalia, is that the case should begin and end at the prima fascia case requirement. our view is that did not make a case of invidious discrimination so the district court's findings about the commission's motive aren't relevant. justice scalia: i don't understand that. i thought a prima fascia case means -- if you haven't made a prima fascia case you have to bring in other evidence. it doesn't mean you're out of court. mr. harrington: if you haven't made the prima fascia case it means the state doesn't have to justify its reasons for the deviation. in this context or any c
