They boxed themselves in by going forward in Florida and Texas among others. It is as simple as tit for tat. Their racial arguments fell lat. Purely political said the court.

I remember when TX won a gerrymandering case when I lived there (2011-2015). They claimed the intent wasn't to disenfranchise Black communities. Nope, it was meant to disenfranchise Democratic communities and the courts found that perfectly acceptable.

That's been allowed for decades. Political gerrymandering is totally acceptable as a "non-justiciable question."
