Until the 1960s, scotus left district lines alone. The design of districts was a political question that could only be answered by the political branches.

That all changed with one-man-one-vote, the Voting Rights Act, and blacks having the right to be represented by a black under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Despite decades of effort, scotus still doesn’t have, and cannot create a ‘neutral’ formula. The design of congressional districts will always be a political question.

Scotus should butt out.

It looks like the Supreme Court is making the right call at this point. The districts will likely stand as is.
