If it’s too close to the election they need to approve a bill through legislature that changes need to happen before a specific number of days before an election, otherwise they are just legislating from the bench pretending it’s legal. Which is obviously the case here because they can’t argue justifications for their racist bullshit in an open forum. “The government can break the law whenever it wants, what are you going to do about it” seems to be the SC opinion here.
Redistricting unrelated to a change in the number of seats should be banned.
But if we are going to allow them, they should not be allowed to take effect until the following election cycle. This would give the court time to review the maps as well as allow the voters to have input prior to the change.
