Literally in response to Trump asking them to so they can win the midterms...

But the Supreme Court will somehow say this is not blatant gerrymandering, or it'll be "unfortunately" timed to not be applicable to the midterm results

In other cases, the Supreme Court has said gerrymandering is A-OK so long as it's based on partisanship instead of race. And they'll accept the most blatantly prextextual justification for why any particular district is partisan instead of racist.
