Generate a context and a hypothesis.
Context: That's right. That's the important hurdle, and we'd like to jump that first, but the other ones, Justice, you're right, in 1831 and in 1909 Congress extended terms in a way that is inconsistent with the strongest form of the test that we have advanced. Those extensions, however, were never challenged in any court and certainly not considered by this Court.

Hypothesis: In 1909 Congress made  a bad decision to extend terms.

Create a context and a hypothesis.
Sammanhang: Det stämmer. Det är det viktiga hindret, och vi skulle vilja hoppa över det först, men de andra, Justice, du har rätt, 1831 och 1909 förlängde kongressen villkoren på ett sätt som är oförenligt med den starkaste formen av testet som vi har avancerat. Dessa förlängningar har dock aldrig ifrågasatts i någon domstol och har definitivt inte beaktats av denna domstol. Hypotes: 1909 fattade kongressen ett dåligt beslut att förlänga villkoren.
