[EL] Most surprising remark in today's oral argument in the Arizona redistricting case

[Kathay Feng]

I think Kennedy is searching (again) for a standard. Seemed unsatisfied with what Paul Clements was arguing for a standard of what was a significant legislative role. 

If no standard can be articulated, the question is whether the default position is to let each state define how it allocates the power to redistrict (ironically, just as Vieth left open to states how to politically gerrymander) or if the default is to roll the clock back to 1898 on every election-related law enacted by voters.
