Yeah, this is literally the point. They took a lie to a favourable extremist court and opened the door to enshrining bigotry into law.

Oh no, it's not stupid. It's a master stroke of manufacture, patience and deliberate, malicious cruelty. But it's not stupid. They've waited a VERY long time to do these things.
so even when the Court makes a decision that favors democracy, red states can just go ahead & ignore it.

It didn't hit the stated requirements: the court basically has to. I hope they also tack on something to punish the people who deliberately didn't do what they were told to do.
I wonder how far they'l take this. Like, what happens if the fighting continues so long that there's still not an approved map by next year's election? No doubt the state will try to run its elections as if their bogus map were legit, so then what? I assume it's the job of the current Congress to handle the transfer of power, and does anyone really have the guts to deny access to...well, pretty much all seven representatives-elect on the grounds that none of their districts, as far as the Court is concerned, exist?
If they were Democrats, the GOP would fight it on exactly those terms. Of course, they won't be, and if the Democrats try to fight on those grounds, the GOP will raise hell about it.

Absolute bullshit.
The Founders were not big on unaccountable branches of government that operated with no oversight. Nor should they have been.
Congress has also shrank and enlarged the Court so they definitely have some say over how it operates.
An ethics code is literally the lowest of bars and this asshole chafes at even that…
