This is a win for the Republicans. At WORST, with good redrawing of the struck-down district (and other districts that will have be redrawn near it to compensate), we will lose one of the seats we gained in Texas.

Are you sure about that, if the court does the redrawing and does so quickly for this election?

The Republicans can challenge the lower-court redrawing and appeal to the SCOTUS. The Court's "conservatives" will certainly be on the lookout for any shenanigans by the lower court in response to this decision and Justice Kennedy has generally been on our side in voting cases. I stick by my statement that I don't see this decision losing us more than one of the Texas seats we gained. The Democrats lost on almost every issue before the Court.
