Maybe... Mid census districting with no oversight is a double edged sword. In the US every tool you give to yourself, you give to your opponent should your power ever be threatened. The court is corrupt but maybe not enough to open this Pandora's NIC

It's interesting to see a SCOTUS whose decisions are influenced to prohibit political actions of a state doing a retaliatory 1 for 1 match of what it's very likely that they would permit Texas to do. That an action isn't evaluated as unconstitutional. Only that some people can do it but others can't
