Since the Supreme Corp decided that it wasn't their job to rule on gerrymandering, that it was a States issue, a North Carolina judicial panel ruled that their legislature's gerrymandering was unconstitutional and they need to go back to the drawing board and do it again. The redo process will be monitored by an outside referee.
Although the legislature said they'd abide by the ruling they did not rule out an appeal. I can see this appeal going all the way back up to the Supreme Corp, which previously said it wasn't their business but might make it so now that their own gerrymandering agenda has been legitimately challenged at the State level.
