This has been played off all day as DeLay getting a slapdown. Only districts with a total of around 100,000 inhabitants total, were rejected. That leaves a whole lot of districts with millions of inhabitants collectively, that were just fine.

The court upheld the state's ability to break with the tradition of redrawing Congressional districts only right after the official federal census every 10 years, potentially opening the door for legislatures in other states to rewrite their own Congressional maps at will throughout the decade, or when a new party takes over a state capital.
The bad news.
They should force the districts to remain the same until the next census.
