texas validly used federal census data to equalize total population. states have done for decades. the framers of the equal protection clause accepted total population as a permissible apportionment base in section two of the 14th amendment. >> why don't they use that under section two, then? >> in section two of the voting rights act? >> yes. >> section two of the voting rights act protects voters. our position, unlike the united states' position, is that only voters are protected under the voting rights act. so, in considering whether there is an opportunity to elect a candidate of one's choice, only voters would count for that inquiry. indeed i -- >> well, it is called the one person one vote. that seems to be designed to protect voters. >> it does protect voters. but there are multiple legitimate bases here on which a state can redistrict. electoral equality is one of them. representational equality is another. if i can back out, what we're dealing with here is the general equal protection clause's test, which it guards against invidious discrimination. the court noted before, a

and community leaders who struggle against segregation in the southwestern united states and used the court one case in particular, mendez versus westminster, attracted the attention of the naacp legal defense fund, which chose to covering the western united states. the mendez case, like many, involved segregation under the guise of language. there would be spanish-speaking schools, students were not assigned based on assessment of english fluency. instead, they were assigned based on appearance, surname, their parents. these were mexican schools, and the mexican schools, as you would imagine, work demonstrably inferior to those provided to white students in the same districts, from the facilities up to curriculums, textbooks, teachers. clearly inferior schools to which mexican-american students were regularly assigned. the mendez decision in the ninth circuit concluded that that segregation was not permitted in california. it didn't lead to a brown-like decision, but the circuit concluded, incorrectly insight -- in hindsight, that california law did not permit segregation of mexican-

through the committee's information, we have learned state exchanges may have used establishment grant dollars to cover operational cost or transition costs when a state exchange shuts down and moves to the federal flat form. it hasn't been easy to discern because these funds have been co-mingled and expenses and costs have been redefined. for example rent, which is an operational cost by any definition suddenly becomes business development cost. convoluted by design. in spite of or perhaps because of cms' hands-off approach, exchanges are struggling to become self-sustaining. they face it problems, lower-than-expected enrollment numbers and growing maintenance costs and as the hhs oig pointed out, state exchanges are facing uncertainties in revenue. four state exchanges -- hawaii, nevada, new mexico and oregon -- have shut down their state exchanges and these four states alone receive $733 million in federal establishment grants. the taxpayers return on investment appears minimal at best. further, there is little indication that cms has attempted to recoup this money. it's our hope th
