From the article: Lawmakers, however, will have to adjust boundary lines to address the court’s concerns.

We'll just draw the lines EVEN BETTER in next year's legislative session and just in time for the 2006 congressional races. Heh, heh, heh.

Ordinarily invalid districts have to be fixed before the subsequent general election, which means this November. That was the case in Texas in 1996 when the SCOTUS struck down a couple districts that June. They ended up holding new primaries to coincide with the general election for 13 redrawn districts, followed by a December run off. That's because GWB didn't convene a special session of the legislature to fix it and so the courts imposed a new map.
