1. Roberts, Thomas and Alito have to consider something

Being the Supreme Court of the whole United States, they have to know that whatever they decide for Texas is also the law of the land for populous states like New York, Illinois, California and Pennsylvania. Give Texas the right to unjustly disenfranchise its voters by gerrymander, they give that same right to other states that can more than compensate. Is Greg Abbott THAT important to Thomas and Alito? Maybe, but I don't think they'll render their decision on this lightly.
